we had an online race a few days ago and I of course was smacked off and
since i was hosting....i watched the race from the view screen.......a
nice battle for first developed in our 9 lap Spa race....ferrari in
1st..eagle in 2nd....at about lap 5 the eagle passed the ferrari on the
last turn to take the lead......looking at the pit board.....the eagle
is placed a lap down.....what the heck is this?...during the next
lap....the race grid for first holds but a lap later just before the
final turn the ferrari takes the lead but loses it at the final corner
to the eagle again as it UNLAPS itself........crosses the line and
another peek at the lap board ....the eagle is placed back another lap
down....now's he's in the lead and 2 laps down......a very very serious
bug......please fix this PAPY...this is not racing.....
