    FYI: setting the same time twice for a track on the BMW event is not a good idea

    I just happened to finish with the exact same time (down to the milliseconds) that was my previous record on a track. Now the ranking for that track says "---" and my total rank doesn't load anymore. So I guess I'm out of the event until I manage to beat that time at least by 0.001. Luckily there's still days left for this leg, but... I guess the developers didn't take into account that a player could finish twice with the exact same time? Looks like a bug to me.

    Update: tried again in about 2 hours, and the "---" was gone from that track, and it was again taken into account normally in the total score calculation. So it seems to have been a temporary issue only Which is good, because otherwise if you happen to set a really good time (by your personal standards, anyway) twice, it might be quite a pain to have to beat that...

    The "--" normally mean that the leaderboard hasnt loaded yet. Mine does it sometimes when its being slow.

    Oh right, that could also be the case... According to my memory it's just an empty field when the data hasn't loaded yet, but I could be wrong. Isn't that "---" text also displayed in the Bunker, when both players set the same time? In the Bunker that track is basically out of the competition, unless either player breaks the existing record. So that's why I was thinking the same logic might apply to this event, that the track doesn't count until you improve that "0.000" time.

    Anyways, it doesn't appear to work that way, so no worries
