You are playing a racer and you pass the person right in front of you at the last second, right before you both cross the finish line, (You and everyone) clearly sees it, but you don't WIN!!

It even tells you, You Win First Place or w/e, then when you get to the scoreboard, YOUR SECOND! >.>

I'm talking about Modnation Racers, Blur, and maybe Forza 3. It is sooo annoying lol, it takes a lot to get me mad but this gets me mad. >.>

It is like there is an invisible finish line before the actual finish line. It pehaps could be a connection speed issue, but that is annoying lol

Ok I'm Done, hopefully Gran Turismo 5 doesn't have this.

thats a prominent occurrence in Kart Racers, it was even mentioned in the IGN review of Mod Nation racers i think. Thats why u gotta save a lil boost or some powerup before the finish line

I guess..lol, happened to me a few times in Forza 3 tho. Though I can see why it would happen more in Blur or Modnation Racers, it is more intense. (But even boost won't help you when your in second and get first, cuz of this thing)

I need Motorstorm.

It happens alot and the timer counts down to hundreths of a second I believe. There's also a trophy that requires you to win a race by .1 of a second.

Its just your typical lag... like on a FPS you are positive you got a headshot but suddenly he turns and kills you.... Same fashion here, you see your opponent a little bit behind what he's actually at similar to having to shoot infront of a running player when you have a lag... Also counts on these games.
