I think, and am really skating on thin ice here so forgive me if I'm wrong but, you have to be on the same lap as the other cars when the timer ends. So simply parking up after the first lap will usually mean that you are at least one lap down on the car that crosses when the timer is up and hence you get placed last.



Racing ahead usually means you cross the line just before the timer ends and start a new lap whilst the others, because they are so far behind, don't make it to the line until the timer ends and because you are now NOT on the same lap you don't get the win, even though you are 1 lap up on the rest.



I may have it all wrong but I did a race last night and that's how I thought I won it....It's so messed up though so it's hard for me to be absolutely sure.
