Practice no longer counts as "Days"?

I realized I never did the old Ferrari F1 challenges from February, so I put in some track time in practice at five circuits to get a feel for the Ferrari F10.

Decided to wander over to the Used Car dealership to see what was new and burn off some credits perhaps. It should have fully refreshed as I was driving for five "days". Nothing had changed.

Anyone else see this? Is this a "feature" of 2.0? Another completely illogical and unnecessary change on PD's part? Glitch?
 
Not sure about practice but I did find one off seasonals not counting as a day (time/drift trial, expert etc)
 
I'm pretty sure days were still passing when I was practicing the other night.

The time trial seasonal events do not pass days, that's not new. I haven't done drift trials but it wouldn't surprise me if they were the same. I almost think the DC SLS event was like that too.
 
Yeah days still pass, I've been doing a lot of offline Practice runs with my GT-Rs in SSR7.
 
Must have been some kind of odd Glitch last night. I ran the F10 at
Indy Road
Monza
Suzuka
Laguna Seca
Nurburgring F

And it never refreshed. Today I took the Stealth GTR around Fuji and it did refresh. :confused:
 
The game counts any action that could possibly progress the game (Buying cars, doing races for cr., selling cars, upgrading @ GTAuto) as "days".

Practice/Drift Trial/One-Make Races don't count as a way to "progress" in the game, even though you can improve your skills in the ones mentioned.

One exception would be the Remote Racing, where you can do as many races as you want without the game adding days.

You switched into a different car, which might count as a day...

My own experience with the game is different. Buying cars, for example, does not advance the UCD -- but it did in GT4.

Remote racing does advance the UCD (one day per race), but does not save the game. So if you exit from the game right after remote racing, the UCD is reset to how it was before remote racing.

Practice does advance days. When I was trying to get the VW Nardo, I would go into practice, start a session and as soon as the entrant list came up I'd exit. Do this five times and your UCD was completely new. The car was irrelevant at that point so switching cars wasn't the cause. I wish it was that easy to advance days.

It might be the one-make race thing, because to help sharpen my times in the F10, I was in a one make race. I will test that tonight. Seems silly that it would be that way, but stranger things have happened.
