If you won the previous race you will be ranked above. If you tie for time during the first race you will be rank below the CPU, same goes for two CPU players. If you tie for time in 2 player Grand Prix in Mario Kart 64 Player 1 and player 2 will always be ranked above CPU, and if player 1 and player 2 tie, player 1 is rank above player 2, and if CPU tie against other CPU, they will be in order by CPU number. In 2 player Grand Prix CPU 1 is at the 6th place position before the start of the race.
