Ok, I don't know if people are hacking the game, but this has happened to me already twice:

I'm in first place, by a good margin, and then suddenly, someone who was in last place the whole race suddenly starts appearing in the list as if he were in first place. But what happens is that my computer goes from 65fps to 11fps all this time, and everything is really blurry. Then suddenly, after a few minutes of this (All the time my position is changing from 1st to 2nd back and forth) then suddenly everything goes into fast forward mode, and it's all normal. Of course, then the person who was in last place magically wins the race. This last race involved a player called "hhhhhhhhhhh"

Is this a hack? A glitch? Bad synchronization with the other player?

I've also noticed that sometimes opponents will suddenly get all beat up for no reason at all, and until someone else nudges them, or they hit a wall or something, the game will update their actual damage status. This isn't just a visual glitch, people that appear all beat up tend to bounce around the track, and throw smoke everywhere.

can you please post a dxdiag. To find out how, check out theTech Support FAQ (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279123).

I take it you are playing online?

Yes, this only happens online. A lot of people are reporting this, though many think it's a hack, I'm really inclined to this being some sort of lag spike that the server isn't updating correctly, and suddenly when it does, well everything goes crazy.
