Theses 2 last days, several times I did much better times and it’s not recorded and then I keep my old times. This is very frustrating…
If you have a faster time, but it is a “dirty” lap by going off course at some point, drafting or using “bonus” items, that time does not count. Never has, and never will.
Your lap must be absolutely clean AND faster than a previously posted time of your gamertag. Read around this forum, this situation has been explained numerous times.
The biggest mystery is that all career mode laps show as clean during the race and it isn’t until after the race that you see what is actually clean compared to dirty.
That has been bothersome to me since the beginning as well, all career laps show clean during the race and then get the ‘bad’ news afterwards. Of course it is not like I didn’t know certain laps were dirty but just odd that they don’t show the icon.
