Severe Lagging During Racing

Is severe lagging during racing a sign of cheating

 

During a couple of races one players car seemed to be lagging very drastically. During the race it looked like he was hitting the walls, going over embankments hitting light fixtures etc. In other words he should have been slowed down drastically. Yet I could not catch him.

 

Before anyone says I am a bad driver I do have on many tracks a top 2000 time, and on a few a top 500. We were racing stock super cars, he had an entity and I had a Zentoro.

 

Was he cheating or was what I saw (him hitting wall, lamp posts) just due to lagging and he did not actually hit them which is why I lost?

More than likely he was just lagging bud. I've had that problem myself, where my friends saw me doing the same exact thing, yet on my end the driving was smooth as could be.

But you were racing with a Zentorno and he wasn't, how could you lose? You clearly are just bad at racing.

 

Just kidding. I'm going to assume he was host. The host always has the advantage anyway. It's just the #1 rule.

I was the host, on Eww You Stepped in Doodie

 

I was in the lead for about half the lap, when he passed me. At that time I saw the lag and what looked like him hitting everything around him

 

Base on his win loss I expect he was a good driver ( 300+ wins) so I don't have an issue with losing to him, I just thought with the lagging and the apparent hitting of walls etc I should have been able to retake and hold the lead

Well I can imagine it must've been frustrating if you were looking to slipstream with him (if that was enabled). All but impossible to do when the guy's airtrails are unpredictably wild due to lag and are resembling that of a fighter jet's lol
