This is not the first time that I've seen this happen, but this is certainly the most obvious. Go to the last lap and watch the finish and notice how the results read out, and then how Ario scores the race. LFS gives races closer than .01 seconds to the driver who comes first in alphabetical order. I didn't win this race, but according to LFS I did, even when Ario knows better.

Can't see the AIRIO output on the mpr. You're saying AIRIO gave a different result than LFS?

Anything to back that up? There's been debate about how the finishing order is given in a tie situation, but I've never heard of alphabetical order coming into it.

Improving the timing (including higher precision) has been discussed many times before, including in the following threads:

FM's data base gave me 2nd place for the race and the other driver 1st contradicting LFS's result which was wrong. I assumed that that was why, but I actually found my theory to be wrong with another one of my replays.

I did but that just might be rumours. I also heard people pretending it is based on fastest laps or grid positions.

I have just disproved Alphabetical order theory with an older replay I saved. I'll try and figure this out tonight in my hour of free time when LFS is dead for the most part (8 - 10 PM EST).

Edit: I beleive that the ties are broke via starting order. Examples attached.
