My friend and I have also experienced this problem. We play through a
direct connect serial connection with him as player one and the answerer
and me as the dialer and player two. In the same way you did we put the
names in the correct order to get the proper names in the proper places,
but every time we race I end up in the 8th row or so virtually on top of
another car no matter how I qualified. Both of us believe it's a glitch
in which the program doesn't like having the same name in the number one
and the number two slots of the multi list. So to fix this problem we
went back to having both the dialing and answering computer have his
name first and my name second. When we race my name is wrong (It's his)
but the # of my car is the same and the qualifying position works
correctly again. As long as you can handle racing with the answerers
name but your correct car number it works. If anyone knows how to get
around this glitch I'm all ears.
