Not with a cable modem (or more specifically <200ms pings) :-)

It does tell you the dates of your own fastest laps.
If your ALL-CARS screen shows Ferrari as the fastest car/lap,

You can also export the ALL-CARS page, and the date is shown
on there as well.

It's the host exiting too soon.  When I'm hosting, I chat about cool
race instances to give you a chance to look over numbers and tell
the others that the paper is coming.
