SO....you could be at one side of the track and I could be on the other side of the track and the computer will still count our times/laps correctly.
Its too bad most people do not understand this concept though.
Even though its usually explained in the drivers meeting before the races start, people still insist on piling up at the starting line as the timer counts down to "go"...then they all crash into each other on the first few turns

It can get dicey on the start for sure becasue of the above problem.
So... I usually always stay back and cross the line last, and hope that the heard thins out by the time I catch them
