It won't. Crack on with the tour or do a few community challenges and those 2 levels will fly by.

7 months is that how long we've been chasing you !!!

Annoyed with the current challenge. I set at 1:36.9 last night and it didn't register. Eventually managed to get close this morning but it's still annoying.

Same thing has just happened to me with a 1:36.1 Sometimes it will extremely latently kick in on the leaderboards even if you have continued away from the event, so I need to hope that's going to happen here. I can probably beat it, but I've still saved all the footage and got all the screenshots, bastards won't diddle me out of a time!

Interestingly, your 1:36.136 shows up on the global leaderboards but not the challenge. Are you sure you were in the challenge and not just single event??

Anyway, giving you the benefit of the doubt, it's good enough for second place at the moment

Very sure! No reply from them unsurprisingly. Too busy retweeting pretty pictures. I'm not the only one that's had an issue with this - https://twitter.com/HomicideSocial/s...22395183226880

So you've gone even faster now then and it actually saved it properly?

Now we know what the B stands for!

Yes, I've gone quicker, 1:36.084. I think at a push a high 1:34/low 1:35 is possible.

It did the same thing again though, pass the finish line and leader's time and ghost disappeared from the screen. I did a slow lap after that, and by the time I got round the lead ghost ( that I'd just beaten ) was showing again, and after I crossed the finish line the times then updated properly.

It's as if it loses the connection to the challenge and then gets it back a bit later, and catches up at the finish line.

I've done it like this twice now, so def worth a go if it happens to you again.

That was what happened to me, crossed the finish line and the ghosts disappeared. It had the 1:36.1 showing on the right of the screen, but was still showing your 'then' best of 1:36.2 as still the target time to beat above it. I'll have to get back on and keep the rest of your method in mind, thanks! Slightly annoying the connection doesn't forget about racking the number of attempts up though.

There's lots of little fiddly bits in this challenge to be brave and increase time on.

Got to try and put her off some how...but it's not working, she's just beaten me again, although only by .02. I can manage that I think...and then no doubt Lisa will beat it by over a second or something.

Well at the minute I'm doing lap after lap trying to get this 1:35.060 to stick on the leaderboard, instead of saying my 1:36.055 is the target to beat. There's also another 1:36.00X I did the lap after the 1:36.055 still floating around the system. God this is annoying!

Edit: Done at least double figures of laps, this 1:35 won't stick for shit! Of course the 1:36.055 would go and stick inside 3 laps. Well I'm having this time, got the screenshots and video to prove I've done it.

Could be photoshopped or .. Adobe Premiere'd.

Can't be accepted under Section 2b of the Digital Spy Driveclub Super Championship rule book.

I kid, I'd accept anything as proof of a time. Scribble it on a piece of tissue. We're all friends here.

I can't get anywhere with this challenge. I got a 1:38.2XX earlier but it never saved. This happens far too often for me. Even though I don't like sim racing games, I may have to get Project Cars if it has no problems. The variety of tracks on offer is very enticing

Unless someone comes in with a better time.

Edit: I may not have a ps4 but I did the lap in 59 seconds. Hope no one beats me.

I will. (And very kind of you to give me my currency and not just offer a fiver of your money) ..... (Although that's only about £3.50 - ya tight ass)

Bernie Ecclestone would be proud of all these brown envelope deals!

Had a response from Rushy: "This is an issue specific to challenge leaderboard posting that we're aware of & looking at as a priority."

As much as I enjoy the game, and they are supporting it very well with content, issues like this let it down far too often. They really need to fix the basics. As embarrassing as the launch was, I think stuff like this 7 months on could actually be considered worse.

I won't be getting Project Cars though, it looks way too sim for me.

(Although that's only about £3.50 - ya tight ass)
It was a starting offer, I never thought you'd be bought so cheaply.

Good. As I said they're supporting the game really well, they just need to fix it the stupid stuff.

I don't understand how you've got a 1:35.5 to stick claymore?? I'm currently following my 1:34.653 ghost round and around and endlessly around and it just won't hold!

Edit: 1:34.517 is the new time to beat seeing as the effing thing refuses to stick.

1:34.653? Wow. Don't think I can top that. Might manage a lower 1:35, but think that'll be about it.

It did the same as usual, and I had to do another lap to get it to record properly, but once I did that, it showed ok. There's also the secret button press combination that I may have forgotten to tell you about...

We're at 1:34 now? Oh jeez. I'll just stick with my 1:36. Quite happy with that.

I've got a 1:34.677 to stick so I'll shut my whining now!

After getting a slower time to stick and repeating the method again to get that time on, this is what you do:

You basically have 2 laps from when you click play to get the time on before the server gets too bogged down with laps and times. So use the first lap to get the speed on the last sector then your 2nd lap is going to be 'the' lap to get the time. If you fail to better your time then go options>restart>options>quit then go back through the menus to the challenge to make sure the server has completely forgotten those laps. You can still maintain some kind of rhythm with the event and the laps, it's just a more clunky way of going about it. If you do better your time then go round an extra couple of laps, following your ghost for the servers to re-engage the ghosts and then register your correct time. Don't beat your new best ghost before you've got it to stick, otherwise it'll bog down the servers memory of your laps. You'll see if it's worked if you click options and look at the leaderboard while you're in the event.
