Discover a Gran Turismo 2 race tie glitch at Laguna Seca where you can be awarded first place but receive the second place prize.

This is a potentially unreproducible glitch observed after finishing a race at Laguna Seca. In this instance, the game listed your car as the winner in the replay, showing a time difference of +0.000 seconds with the second-place car. However, upon exiting the replay, the game registered your position as second place, and you received the second-place prize.
