A Class car on D class boards! (here we go again)

I’ll happily do it if you and voodoo wish. I’m finding them 24/7. And I stopped hotlapping months ago. . Since theirs no overall leaderboards and forza stats has been made redundant .I got a few world records without trying really hard. But motivation has gone for that, now. Same for a good 10 of my friends whom smash top times but their interest has gone with no overall lb or stats.

Since then. i only test tunes on the forum for feedback to see what a car can do is fun for me. Beside that I am racing career against the unbeatable aI with weight and HP penalties. Great racing. You got the AI racing great. Better than lobbies for sure and more skillful based racing. Says something about humanity or lack of.

I know theirs alot of leaderboards, lol. I can’t keep up but if you want the info I will provide.

I really appreciate the effort you guys at T10 go through to make this game i love playing. Don’t think I’m dissapointed. I love the game but would sell my left nut to make it better.

You guys have done a great job and worked hard, which is evident to me. Keep up the goodwork. Don’t be offended by clowns whom have no clue on what you have to do.

Gee, a little humility would go a long way. It must be nice to be so special!

The point I was trying to make is that I’m not as good as a lot of people whom play this game yet managed a few WR.

The fact that they is no overall leaderboard and glitched cars and times put the top drivers off, hence the reason I managed a few. Otherwise no chance, giving the top drivers some motivation and they would not still be #1s

VoodooUomo agreed about the first thread I posted, in private messages with me, 3 months ago(October 8th). I was under the impression that Turn 10 has been working on this for a while now.

UPDATE: the misreported A class BRZ lap time on the D class Laguna leaderboard has been removed.

The other suspect times AKRA1X detailed in this thread will also be looked into, as they look similarly misreported.

If someone asked me to fix something in this manner, they would get a slap… customer or not

UPDATE: The fishy leaderboard time reported by the OP, as well as the other misreported times specifically called out in this thread, have been removed from the leaderboards. As these must be dealt with on a one-to-one basis unless and until a bulletproof fix is identified, it’s a bit like whack-a-mole. Incidence rate is very low, but it’s possible more will pop up from time to time.

Seeing a time set by a stock PI at the top of a leaderboard above maxed PI times isn’t always a sign something’s amiss, but it appears to be a common trait in misreported times, especially if there is a saved tune which doesn’t fit restrictions. The replay file associated with that time is the most trustworthy evidence.

If you find times like these, reporting them in a manner similar to how AKRA1X listed in this thread can help our team keep the boards clean. Examples:

COTA EAST B CLASS:
B class 46.9xx Elise’99 BAM flawless tune (appears to be a misreported time)
S class 46.8xx Elisee '99 BAM flawless tune (appears to be a legit time)

Alps club C class:
C class 124.7xx S2000 dust2death tune (misreported time)
B class 124.7xx s2000 dust2death tune (legit time)

Brands Hatch GP full A class:
A class 126.0xx in KTM (misreported time)
S class 125.3xx in KTM (legit time)

It may or may not have anything to do, but is it possible that this is due to the following reason :

you can have a B class car with a S setup on it, but if the rules of the lobby change restrictions to “B class, no setup”, you still get to keep your car, albeit “downgraded” to it’s original B condition, but funnily enough, the information panel on the right still quotes the name of the S class setup you had previously on it.

(sorry for my bad english)

This sounds like a bug in the “auto-downgrading.” I can see that easily causing some bizarre leaderboard times if the upgrades don’t remove properly…

Interesting - is this when rules change in a private online session, or other means of play? If you could make this happen, it’d be great to know the exact steps you took to do so.

I’ve just been playing not to long ago and someone had a 695 D class car in a class lobby

Figured I’d just bump this thread instead of starting a new one. The number 1 time on Alps Spatz(something??) reverse S class is way to fast at 1:13 with 2-10 overall being 1:22’s. This time is fast enough to be the number 1 time on the R class boards by 2 seconds.

A question to anyone who might know the answer. Is this thread restricted to reporting suspected glitched times or if you have evidence someone has “cheated” in order to get their time on the leader board can you report this for investigation too?

I say this because I watched a replay on Silverstone may have been National or International may have been in B Class where the racer left the track and entered the pits coming to a standstill and shaved some time off their recorded lap (this may be dependent on the track and pit location for it to work out as a time saving exercise).

I tend to knock about in Rivals mode quite a lot and don’t mind getting the facts and using the proper reporting procedure in future if I thought it would help clean up the leaderboards a bit further

Didn’t Michael Schumacher do this in a grand prix once? I think the pit lane entry was shorter than the track.

That must be the quickest reply ever

I barely had time to edit it for a couple of mistakes before you got in there. Go to the top of the leaderboard for that!

I think you are indeed correct someone else may come along with the relevant details

1988 British Grand Prix. I suspect it is someone having a laugh with that leaderboard time. Good on them, maybe I was taking things a little too seriously with my previous post
