In the event of a tie...

Ties

There are a few events of ties in the game, which I shall explain briefly here:
Qualifying
Often the scene of much controversy, qualifying is a very important part of the weekend. Now, sometimes when drivers of equal skill go out for a run in a session, they will get the same time. You may wonder how this is calculated, and it's very simple; the first person to post that time gets the position.
You may notice this small bug: In the "Driver comments" area of the session (where your driver tells you what happened on his/her lap) it may have the wrong person showing a faster time. This is wrong. When you want to see a 100% accurate grid, look to the timesheet.

Fastest Lap
Like qualifying, this is decided by whoever set the lap first. Sometimes you won't know what the exact time was, because there are many other digits (such as 1:13.38763463) that you won't see. Just trust BATracer to work it out fairly.

Championship
Of course, you wouldn't want to tie for the honours of being a champion, but it does happen. In this event the championship will be decided upon the number of wins. If these are the same it goes to number of podiums, and so on right down to average qualifying position.
The exact order is this:
points
wins
podiums
poles
fastest laps
average qualifying position
