I was running a League event just now and finished ahead of the player who had the best time in the event, but then learned during the post-race summary that although I had finished in first place that I was still behind that player in the event overall.
It was not the first time that I had noticed that the ghosts in a race have incorrect times.
But this time was especially annoying because I have been trying repeatedly to finish ahead of the particular player, but had not been able to do so (partly because he may be using a better car than I have) until the aforementioned race.
