Thanks guys!! I will answer all the questions in a multi-quote reply;

They seem to be tweaking stuff about testing upgrades, and it could be that if your gold balance remains unchanged, the PB sticks despite a slower time above the car.

When I do WTTT I like to stay in "the zone". So I run until the car needs servicing, service, instant finish with gold, repeat. I'm sometimes down 70 gold by the time I get a good run in! Then I do a restore to get back my gold.

I will adjust this in the future though, no use tempting fate! I will start fully serviced, run until in the red, then restore. Whenever I get a decent time I will cloud save. No more instant servicing with gold for me. It's a pain on loooooong tracks though.

Do you mean that the time taken is the personnal best and not the ghost one ? Because I have a little difference in McLaren's Shadow Project.

The time is not the "personal best" on the right, it's the one that appears in the list on the left. Whenever I started a run it said my "perspnal best" time was the 1:41:597. However the time that they rewarded me on was my 1:40:098 time which was what my ghost drove. I figured this out when I nearly tied my ghost once, just behind.

Guess all my rambling was for not, although I'm guessing you have to at least save occasionally or maybe just once. It is weird how it shows the two different times though. Seeing as I never saved but only restored and got pooched in the prior special event TT's I just assumed that was the new norm. But you know what happens when you assume....

I had the exact same theory as you, it is very reasonable and may in fact be what's to come. My gut sank when my "personal best" was my longer time. That's why I will adapt my methods from here forward.
