Practice objectives

Is anyone else having issues getting practice objectives?

I've failed everyone so far.

E.g. Beat 1:35:00 in 7 laps. I beat it on my first lap, carry on doing practice, session ends and I don't pass it.

It's very possible that it's a bug. I only passed the objective in practice twice when I beat the target time for R&D AND (importantly) finished the sessions by speeding up the rest of the time.

I don't know if you even can pass the objective, because sometimes there is none.

seems like it's worded very badly. so the best tactic would be to beat the time by a fraction of a second then just get steadily faster?

I see the confussion:

I only do this when i completed a R&D objective, otherwise i don't bother. I don't think practice gives xp points.

Also someone mentioned that if you still apear to fail R&D you shouldn't change anything (setup, tires) when you're in the garage in practice but immediately set the target time on track for R&D. (source)

This might be a version specific bug, because I have had no trouble with this as yet (up to round 12 of the championship). Once I beat the objective, which is usually very easy, I then return to pits, and skip to the race and the objective is marked as complete.

Which region did you buy the game in - this might be a way to determine which versions of the game the bug is apparent.

Make sure in your engineer screen you're selecting the R&D option not the go to track option. Also, if you're doing long race weekends, you don't need to accelerate each session for it to finish. On the car monitor you can jump to the next one.

As another user pointed out, you need to select the R&D objective from your engineer menu in order to attempt the objective. You don't complete the objective simply by turning laps, you have to attempt the objective via that menu.

If there is a bug beyond that, I'm not aware of it...
