Has anyone else noticed a rare occasion where the first lap of the first track doesn't count ? if anyone's interested in seeing this I will upload a video

i'll take a gander

wow. that's pretty wild. i wonder if it has to do with both trucks passing the finish line at the same time, possibly on the same frame? like the code can't count both laps at once. i can maybe try to replicate in a TAS to see if that's it.

nah. that doesnt seem to be it.

Were you aware that if you have 98 nitros and you get a "2 nitros" on a track it will not go to 99 . It will stay at 98. That cost me 21 seconds on a run tonight

oh yeah i remember that. "exact change only"

I get this once in a while, ive attributed it to missing a checkpoing, what i think are the flags and why they move when you pass them. Its rare and unexplainable but i have seen it happen.
