Hot Lap Event Week 31/32 - (Build 272+) Pagani Huayra at Bathurst

Sorry but I don't get exactly what you mean? When you watch the videos I think it's obvious and it proofs what was already said, the overall speed is a lot quicker although the tachometer shows the same speeds. Just sync the videos at the start finish line and already at the first straight they're out of sync.

And yes, I didn't do any setup work yet, both runs are with the default setup, I just lowered the fuel load.

Look at this video around 3"30 to hear real engine noise. It sounds very closed to reality

Here is a HD video with really good sound. They start driving around 16:45. Sounds pretty close to me. But I notice you can still hear the engine with the turbo.

Hi all, i am a new team member.
While reading this thread i understood there's a bug related to weekly competitions. Anyone knows the reason? Which is the cause? How it is possible to reproduce the bug?

Thanks

It seems related to a combination of the hardware/bios timer in modern chipsets and (dynamic) overclocking of the cpu. I wont provide hints how to expolit it, but you can help testing the new timer system and follow the bug fixing process in these threads:

It's quite difficult to do constant laps with a gamepad and this track/car combination, but here's a comparison:

lap time 2:03.943 - CPU @ 2,66 GHz standard clock frequency


lap time 1:54.345 - CPU @ 3,1 Ghz overclocked with bios dynamic overclocking feature

Same situation for me using my msi gx660r notebook, that allows dynamic oc using a button called TDE (turbo dynamic engine)....

People with the timer bug should test it in quick race - not in the weekly competitions. That way the competitions stay interesting for the others.

What about them that don't genuinely know if they have the bug, how do we know this bug doesn't go both ways. At this point in development everything needs testing big and small, Excluding anyone will not find or fix what is wrong.

From now on I'm going to do future hot lap event on default setup to reduce some variables in detecting problems.
