There appears to be a small delay in time tirlas between crossing the finish line and getting your result, The thing is, while that delay is happening, the clock is still ticking on the timer and you get an extra second, second and a half on your time.
This has caused severe frustration for me, as I would cross the finish line with all the trophies showing, then a second later when the timer stops ticking that'd be enough for me to get silver instead.
Anyone else having trouble with this?
I have seen many threads about this, and have experienced it. It's on the forum in many places.

The delay was consistently 1-2 sec across all of the time trials for me. Not as aggravating as an unfriendly Monarch or two. Just have to be a bit faster - near perfect on the shortest races

Here is how to tell what your delay will be.
When you start the trial there is a loading screen, then immediately a countdown, 3..2..1... The time between the Load screen disappearing and the 3 of the countdown will be the time added at the end.

not sure if this will help but hope it does:
Back when I was working golds for the black car used to always have the additional 3 to 8 seconds tacked onto my finish time even tho I had cleared the course for gold completion.
I'm awful at supermario cart hate driving games but did this anyway because its "the black car" the first vehicle achievement in Defiance and I absolutely had to have it - because I believe this show/game is going to evolve into to the stars.
I picked one time trial sat there until I finished it. Sometimes 6 to 8 hours on 1 time trial (miwok & sf). If I didn't reach the gold mark or swayed off track? I used the "Try Again" button or jump off the ATV let the timer kick me out and press the "Try Again".
what I discovered was each time I did this - the game was ADDING 1 Second to my finish time. So yes there was sometimes a 10 to 12 seconds added even tho I well cleared the req gold mark.
Solution/How I did it: If I steered off course or saw I wasn't going to make it to gold - instead of jumping off the ATV to "Try Again" I would select "Cancel Abort" - then either walk or drive all the way back to Start over.
What I noticed after doing this was - Aborting the race all together stopped the additional time seconds being automatically added to my ending finish time.
This might not work for some but for me after having spent countless hours on ONE race from dusk till dawn this is how I conquered to reach gold. Any time trial it didn't matter which one, but this is what I learned from just sitting there till success.
Had a few days off from work (surgery) which helped also when they Rebooted the server this also would clear the auto tacked in seconds. But once I started the "Try Again" feature an additional second was again added to the finish time.
It wasn't lagg, it wasn't my Xbox 360.
It's the game itself - I hope this info helps.
Even with the delay/added time it's still doable as I went for gold in every race in the game in only a few hours. Leveling up your runner to Lv20 also helps.
