That was my Diablo day, i'll look into leaderboards tomorrow. (but if you can, give me details on that " Milouse's database has some entrants were their 3.1 is showing the same numbers in 3.2 and cutting 13 seconds off the total time and a similar error is messing up set 4 by some 33 seconds", i'm not sure to understand what you mean - very late and tired right now, may be the reason).

Edit: Oh, ok i see. That's weird, GT server has gone crazy i guess o_O

Edit 2: well, it looks like the problem solved by itself (or more likely on sony's side) as the last update just finished its job, i don't see weird times anymore. :)

Thanks Milhouse your works is invaluable, since PD/Sony doesnt really list this information by Country its hard to figure out where i stand.

Thanks Pal!

:cheers:
 
I've made some changes 10 hours ago on the way datas are sync (it is not supposed to solve the problem entirely, but i expect that to give more chance to a sync to fill a potential hole from the previous ones).
I've also added a cache level so that someone in a Top 5000 would stay there until kicked the right way ; an old time is better thant no time at all.

It's hard to trace if it's really efficient, practically, so feedback is still welcome.
 
I've added and automatic update tracer that anyone can see on the leaderboards : at the end of each line (not on Overall/cumulative LB), a kind of light color (Green, Yellow or Red) shows freshness off mygranturismo.net update for that player on that board: green is less than an hour, yellow is between 1 and 3 hours, red is... well, red sucks. Yellow and Red times close from 250,500,750,1000,1250... rank position are probably still correct, though.
 
Milouse,

Is there any advance towards Seasonal Event Leaderboards?
It would be awesome to see results in one place 👍

I was going to ask how you ran the site without ads.. then I turned off my ad blocker. I saw some interesting ads and visited their interesting site. :sly:

Also, a small error, if you click my GT Academy Rankings,
the gap is now equal to my total time on each event. (Gap = +100%)
 
I've fix the gap % bug, thanks :)

There is not much advance in Seasonal Leaderboards, i won't be able to complete that part before few weeks (not that it takes so long, but i won't be available to work on this in the following days).
 
I'm sorry Saidur (You'll see why on update) I had a little go at round 1 after I had seen how well you had done ;p. Still congratulations on the great times mate :)!

Well done on getting ahead 👍. I haven't played on it for a few days. Don't feel like I hit my personal limit on any, it is about being lucky really at the right moment. I think if I get 1-4 and 1-5 (Trying to do it without contact) up to scratch then, I will be back in competitive order and might concentrate on other rounds afterwards as people finalise lines so I can just copy them and be competitive straight away ;). I'm surprised in a way, how sort of uncompetitive being in the top 250 is, I guess most people just get Gold and be done with it. Looks like only 8-5 will be truly competitive and will be a hard fight to get into the top 250.

hehe ye I'm the same, been a bit hectic at work this week with exams starting! But I do agree with you a little bit of luck can you get on your way with some of these events :)! I'm the same with 1-5, but unlike other ghosts not sure how your doing it yourself, I find no braking is the faster approach rather than a tiny bit of braking, if you nail the first S I think there is another .03 there to be fair!

I do it two ways, depending on entry. I usually don't brake, just use throttle as brake :sly:. The other way is using e-brake to hit the apex. I have done both ways with competitive times. Trick is as you know to keep minimum speed up to at least 67-68mph from what I remember but to also get good acceleration from that speed and good entry into final corner.
 
125 records from event 3-1 were erroneously put into 4-1.

Indeed, and same problem with 4-4 (i've manualy fixed both). I need to find a way to detect these bug from sony's server which sometimes send data of a board on another one. :grumpy:
 
Finally snagged top DS3 user in USA in rounds 3 and 4. Not easy!!

+1,000 to Milouse for creating these stats for us. You're very helpful! I am glad you've joined this site. :)
 
Great Job.. Thank you so much Milouse!

Would it be possible to additionally combine ALL rounds into a single leaderboard?
(An overall ranking of all rounds finished <5000 combined)

very cool features on that website.
I'd like to expose two considerations though, which are related to the academy.
First, as you might have seen, times are really close due to the structure of the challenges, and I don't think this helps in the search for those who can drive really fast on a PS (I'm not among them ;: ). I expect something much more difficult for the big final.
Secondly, and then I've finished, I've noticed that in the academy game my DFpro is listed as a wheel with clutch, quite weird...
 
I really don’t need to say the obvious… Excellent work my friend!!! Much appreciated!!! :)

I think thought, that exist a little “missing point”, a wrong presentation of the “real statistics”, especially at the “top overall” section…

To be more specific… all visible times are the ones which classified at top 5000... This has the result of non showing times which perhaps deserves to be there, on overall status, on “top xxx”, even above of other’s position who happened to have all 5 challenges in top 5000…

Due to my possible “misunderstanding English”, I give a specific example…
In total of 20 challenges, just in 2 of them I ‘m not classified in the top 5000… on all of the others, happens to be on top 5000, actually in most of them, much, much higher… All thought, at the “top overall” classifications I ‘m nowhere…

Bottom line, one challenge’s time been over top 5000, is enough to “disappear” the whole effort might given by someone…

If that, is something that can be fixed easily, it would be nice so… if not, then again all is good anyway, and your effort to do this is already much appreciated!!!

I'm sorry but it won't be "fixed" as it is considered as a known limitation from the start. The leaderboard i've setup intend to extend the official top browsable from 250 to 5000 lines per board and from single board rankings to cumulative rankings. These Top 5000 represents a huge amount of data to gather and to analyse once per hour (especially when it comes to build cumulative "overall" tops). I suspect the full (unlimited) leaderboards data to weight more than 10 GB at the end of june. Extending to Top 10 000 would be technicaly critical and wouldn't change anything for most players.

Ok, fair enough!! :)

Now i guess, the only thing that remains is to put down my as@ and improve my times at the two specific challenges… (something not enjoyable I admit, because I ‘m referring to challenges 1-1 & 1-2, looking for 10 and 3 thousands of second… :ill: )
 
Yes. And it is now online (new button "Top Overall" in the Statistics & Global Ranking section) :)
185 ranked players so far.

Great... Thanks again !

I just managed to join the "Overall<5000 Club" (Now waiting for your site to update the rankings).

(btw.. I am wondering that there are only about 200 players (worldwide) who managed to finish ALL events <5000 . Ingame Stats show that about 750.000 people already participated by now)

Regards

The more players there is in the board, the more diversity is likely* to happen, hence there are fewer chances that a given player appears in a given position range. With a sample of 5000 players total, you'd have 5000 players in overall top :sly:

*: i think we agree that chance is an important factor when it comes to achieve 30.411 seconds (in Top 5000 on R1-1) instead of 30.412 (out)...
 
Any update about this? Very good idea tbh

I'm sorry that i didn't answer to this earlier. It would be a good thing, but would require deep changes in the way the page works underneath, that's why i may not do it soon but keep it in mind.
