One time I set up a challenge and someone managed to submit a time of 50 seconds when the average was around 2 minutes. There could be foul play involved.

Obviously that was a foul (Data mod), or, Evolution has some serious stupid bugs.....Gran Turismo in such case would handle it very seriously, if found there was foul, PSN account will be deactivated in their server....Evolution should look into this right away, no matter it's a bug or foul play or data mod....

What is a ps4 wheel rim? Fanatec is going to release an official wheel for PS4?

I might have misunderstood an article I read where it said there were discussions, if no news have come out up to now it's doubtful... sure wish I could use my G27 in DC though, for some cars having more precision would be very useful

No one likes console banning players, at least not for a TT infraction. I wasn't aware that any hacks could be performed on a PS4 game yet, which is a transgression more likely to warrant such a ban, I agree.

If I remember it correctly, PD just wiped the leaderboards mostly, which is also something Evolution have done and in turn, that annoys other players who have legitimate times up there. Like I said, I'm sure they are looking at it, but it isn't something that will get a speedy fix - other than reverting the game difficulty and penalties back to the pre-January patch levels.

Well....after 2nd thought I agree those ridiculous Laptime are not foul play or data mod, it should be a server miscalculation, bugs in the leaderboard because I have seen at least 50 people did 2:1x in the Kinloch Reverse 3 laps event....using Audi RS 5 coupe
 
Is this LotusTeam who send me challenge yesterday? :D

Anyway, about the laptime I clearly remember that there was a glitch about laptime and faceoffs but I am not sure if evos cleared the leaderboard...but so far the calculations are now correct.

I think the laptime which faster 2 minutes is when the game still has the glitch, but I dont know if Evos notice them or not...you can report to @Driveclub twitter.

Oh hi and thats right that's me! Don't mind me as I'm still playing around with this game (just bought it 3 days ago) and set a challenge at my first time but can't understand why you received it as I remember I didn't sent to you, so later u broke the record on Kinloch Reverse and I sent my new record to you again.

And no......the leaderboard calculation is still wrong everywhere! At least I can easily find out 2 leaderboards problem as I mention above in this thread, I'm 100%sure they have more if I keep digging into it!

Anyway @kinoch reverse I'm now up to 1'33.8, sitting@ 7th place using Audi R5, top WR now is 1'31 dead....scary speed!

And since I am new to DC, I just can't figure it out why recently people keep saying DC lies to PS plus member about the DC free version, isn't it available in PS store now? I downloaded it before (it just has limited cars and tracks) I purchase a disc version

It shouldn't be available, as they withheld its launch due to server instability at the start. The PS+ upgrade version is available, but that is the full game. When did you download the PS+ version with just the Indian tracks? Maybe the HK store didn't block the download...or perhaps they are trying a limited roll-out.

There could be a glitch that allows people to shortcut the track somewhere...
 
I played briefly with the T300 and personally found the DS4 to give better feedback and probably better steering. This game requires simulation / real driving techniques to go fast. Might give this challenge a go if I can find it, I haven't played it for a while so it will be interesting to see if I can challenge for first position.
 
A brief side-note, I was doing a time-trial yesterday and each sector was supposedly +32000 seconds slower than my best lap. :lol: At the end of each lap it would show the correct time but who knows? maybe a small blip like this could mess up the occasional challenge!

Actually one of our PSN friend just got her hands a new PS4 and Driveclub game, I even convince her to buy the season pass (and she bought it). :D I was able to visit your challenge because a player can see friend's challenge too.

I think for this issue you need to report to @DRIVECLUB and the game director @Rushy33 to check this issue. They usually listening to us, give it a try. Personally I think this is database error; back in time we have Face-off issues (they already resolved today) but invalid recorded time count still on the leaderboard.

===

For challenges, you dont need to send out a same challenge to same people. You can retry an existing challenge so people that you send challenges still able to join without having different (but exact same) challenges to different people.

yes I did download it like 4 days ago since I want to give it a try before buying a full game!
And I think it's still on shelf in HK PS store. Yes you got it, India track only, starting with a Volks GTI golf, don't know if more cars would be given to play with....

Damn...then that must be a trial run of PS+ then. Things are looking positive for private lobbies and the remaining functions then. It also means that the app should be there for you too, unless that is still blocked by Evolution.

Yes I talk about Suzling :D and we never meet on GT.

Anyway I think you can forget about the Tour leaderboards; you need to visit Community Challenges, those are legit leaderboards and I never manage to get into top 50 :D Dont forget to add PSN : PhenomEvolution and PSN : EvolutionStudios, they always have challenges and the plus point is, their challenges has the most players, so even you participate but not giving your best, fame points still high enough so you can grinding for fame points.

Ok thanks for advice, I'll give it a try later!
 
Yes! The community challenge is much more like it, at least I feel I can possibly touch those reasonable top records!

I just played with the Cayoosh Point,

Trials: #10
Car:Ferrari 458
Lap: 2:33.063 (9th trial)
World Rank 148th
Challenge Rank: 53th

Really make fun of it when climbing up the leaderboard, but the community has time limit (3 hours left) otherwise I could possibly get into 50th....haha!

You can issue your own challenges too, setting them for up to one week duration.
 
LotusTeam
My Laptime would be a joke if I issue in community, I should better send to my friends instead! Hahaha!
Click to expand...
Well, you could issue it still, and then go back to it and improve. I've had a few three-way battles before now with other players, with each of us logging better times than the others, only to get beaten again - it was fun.

Keep checking for the Evolution Studio challenges though, as was mentioned, theirs last at least six days.
 
wall riding = driving against the wall, this used to be penalized quite a bit but since the patch some time ago unfortunately now it isn't resulting in faster laptimes in some cases, hopefully things will be reverted and walls made velcro-y again!

* Some PC games (e.g., Dirt®3™ ) require that you install the latest available game updates for the Thrustmaster shifter to work correctly.

* To avoid any conflict between the racing wheel and the shifter, some PC games may require you to proceed as follows:

- Do not allocate any features to the wheel's up/down shifters

- Define a "button pushed = gear shift" feature (e.g. in GTR™ Evolution or Race® On)

- Install any required plug-ins (e.g. the H Shifter Plugin in Richard Burns RALLY™)
