Then when they came around to complete their first lap it ignored there first lap, as it was set up to do, and only started counting them on the second lap. Maybe that is something you can look at Chris?
The computers set to ignore first pass, but it does count the cars as "in" for want of a better phrase. So the cars don't get the first lap until they have gone over the loop twice (If that makes sense!) assuming the loop is in front of the grid.

If the loop is behind the grid then it is set to count first pass.
