1. Time on leaderboard is your best run but possibly not registered

2. Time above the car is actually the best registered time.

3. So if the two match you’re good. But if the one above the car is higher than leaderboard, that will be the time they use for ranking.

I’ll include a screenshot since I think that will help with explanation plus info on what I did.

1. Ran TT once, 2:01 time & then did a restore no previous saves. I received the message I posted earlier “time trial issue reward”. I went back in the TT, my time was on the leaderboard but assumed it wasn’t registered since I did a restore. So did the next steps.

2. Ran a 2nd run, purposefully slower 2:12, and saved this time immediately after the run instead of restoring. This is when I noticed upon going back in the time on the leaderboard was different from the time above the car.

3. So I Ran it two more times, both slower than the 2nd run, 2:14 & 2:23 then saved again instead of restoring.

4. I wanted to see if the time above the car, which is marked “saved time” in screenshot, would change to 2:14 or 2:23. I thought maybe the time above the car was showing the last saved run. But after the 3rd & 4th run, exiting TT, saving & going back into the TT the time was still 2:12 above the car.

Here’s the screenshot: I also noticed the box with the clock on the bottom that I circled didn’t turn gold like it would in the old time trials. Even if I only restored all I had to do was click on it and it would shade whatever color. This time it didn’t turn gold until I did a save.

Anyway, worth seeing if anyone else can do a similar test to verify this might be the new standard. My guess is that it is, needing to save immediately after good runs.

Edit: just ran a 1:50 time and showed the split between the 2:12 time not the 2:01. So more info for you all. I feel like an idiot waiting my Drive and car serviced if they implement the new registered time as you mentioned. The very bad thing is I can't learn braking point anymore. So no increased skill by time playing.
