NEW WAY TO GET SCREWED BY GL I didn't see anyplace in the Wikia to discuss problems with MP; I only saw a glitch page, and this isn't a glitch. Apologies if I'm blind and just didn't see a better spot, but this could be called a "trick." I was in a three-person, 2-lap race on Sky Drop. After the Donkeys blew past me at the start, I passed them (one on the first uphill jump, the second at he end of the s-curve before the drop). After spending most of the first lap and all of the second lap leading, I passed the Finish line... and kept going. Usually in that situation GL has disconnected you, so you get no credit. However, in this race, I kept going, and going, and going.... My place eventually dropped from first, to second, to third. WTH? No disconnection. As I approached the finish line on my THIRD lap (of the TWO-lap race) there was no "Lap x" sign, nor a "Finish" sign. I passed the area where the line should have been, and now the race stopped. Third place and a time just under 3:40 (rank 1315, I was cruising most of the race and thinking WTH? the entire THIRD lap, so I wasn't pushing it) for a 2-lap race on SkyDrop. GL penalized me 8 points in my ranking, plus losses of credits, rewards points and a waste of time (including writing this). There was a 4th racer, but he got disconnected at the start. Has anyone else had to complete an entire extra lap, or is this a new GL cheat?
