    When racing online with AI and real players the races always end 1 lap early.

    So a 6 lap race ends at the end of lap 5. This is no matter if the AI are leading or a real player at the front. Its been like this for months now.

    Ive Never got that. Can it be you mistaking what it says in the overlay?

    Could you please provide info what classes and tracks you drove, are you using rolling or standing start?

    i also experienced this quite often with GT3s, GTEs (rolling assisted/automated starts - not sure if it occurs on standing starts too) but i doubt its related to the classes/rules themselves.
    Think its rather related to the starting point of the lap counter.
    So iirc you set up 5 laps, the race would end f.e. at the end of whats displayed lap 4 but iirc you actually drove five laps. (cause the first lap is displayed as lap zero)

    Other games usually display f.e. the first race lap of five as 1/5 instead of 0/5.
    It would look like this

    1/5
    2/5
    3/5
    4/5
    5/5 (last lap)

    I will try to reproduce it when i get around it and i will make sure to follow up here then.

    If its intentional it would be cool to get an option of how you want it counted/displayed, cause it seems counter intuitive.
    Me and my brother were quite often surprised of the race ending abruptly, as we were used to other games (ACC, Gran Turismo etc.)
