Opponent starts early in replay

[thelusiv]

Playing around tonight I tried recording a replay in single race mode, driving the CT against the NS on Barcelona. I sucked for 2 laps but came back in the 3rd and beat the NS. I spun out once when way ahead and ended up backwards on the road in reverse watching the NS catch up and pass me...then when I played the replay, the NS starts way before my car, is in front of my car when I spin, and wins (even though my time is lower than him), and is sorted first on the results screen. It seems to me that the opponent is getting started long before the player in replays.It could be because the opponent's recording starts after the player recording, but both are started at the same time. Anybody have any ideas why this might be? I haven't looked closely at the AI replay recording code or the replay playback code yet, will soon.
