How to unlock the Flavour of the Week achievement in DiRT 4 - Definitive Guide

At the current state, this achievement is kinda buggy. For 4 months between December, 2017 and March, 2018 the server just simply didn't register our Weekly Challenge times, no matter how many times you completed both of them. I suggest you to start doing this as soon as you start playing the game!!!

All you have to do is to compete BOTH Weekly Events in 2 weeks in a row. The servers are refreshing on every monday, 12:00 (Central Europe Standard Time) so you can check which tier you finished and you can go for the next Weekly Challenges. On the third week, you should get the achievement. If for some reason it doesn't pop, it mean that one of your times wan't registered, so just keep trying and trying until you get the chivo. It is a pain in the ass, but there is no better solution for this, until Codemasters decide to fix the servers or the communication problem.

Edit: Several people in the comment section says that you only have to complete one weekly event for the achievement. It might be true, unfortunately i cannot confirm it since i already unlocked the achievement. If you really not sure about it i still suggest you to complete both of them. Not just to be a 100% about the completion, but you also earn more credits what you can use to improve your team and garage furthermore.

The achievement doesn't directly state you need to complete both of them, but since you guys have already tried it, I will do that as soon as I can. I will report back here when I'm done.

You are right about ithis, it doesn't directly states you, but this is exactly why you should not take risk and do only one of them.

FYI - First week I completed the first event and DNF'ed (did compete, but wrecked before the finish) in the second event and still got the achievement after the second week of completing both events. So it seems that DNF's still count.

I think this and other online achievements are potentially unobtainable because the game doesn't not connect to RaceNet anymore. I have closed the game, did a manual 'quit' on the dashboard and also restarted my console. Nothing makes this game connect to RaceNet anymore. Anyone having the same issue?

Did 1 weekly event back to back and didn't get the achievement. Didn't have any career championships in progress either. Not sure why people say they got it by doing 1 weekly and got it yet I didn't get the achievement.

As the other guide mentioned:

The game will only award you the achievement if you complete the weekly challenge from the same side as the week before.

So for example:

Week 1 - DNF & Success
Week 2 - Success & DNF

This will not grant you the achievement.

Week 1 - Success & DNF
Week 2 - Success & DNF

This will grant you the achievement. I hope this is clear.

@Happy Dog thanks for clearing that up. I just completed both weekly events yesterday and i got the achievement after claiming the rewards today. I guess I only played one and then did the opposite weekly the week after as I know i didn't even retire from the other weekly to have it be a DNF.

No problem. I got a DNF from the right side of the screen on the Weekly Events side last week, but I completed the Weekly Events on the left side last week, and on the left side today - so the achievement should pop for me come next Monday. I’m going to complete the right side this week for extra credits anyway.

Tip: if you are in the middle of something on career and the next week started, you can get it anyway avoiding going into cummunity events (the game does not check your previous day or week results unless you get into the right section). Just finish whichever rally event you are on career, and after you complete it go to the community events and get the results. I got it that way, on a Tuesday.

Completed both events: 22nd July - 28th July
Completed both events: 29th July - 4th Aug
Completed both events: 5th Aug - 11th Aug
Completed 1st event and DNF on the 2nd: 12th Aug .. It's not popping up at all, so I gave up! What I do wrong? - I will try again once more when I get more info from Codemasters themselves or from this page.
I did get the results at the end of each week but when does it pop up? So annoying! as I'm stuck at 95% now - just this 1 more achievement I need.

You do NOT have to complete BOTH. I completed one last week and didn’t even attempt the second and DNF one and finished the other the previous week and the achievement popped for me today

In first week i have completed first set of 6 races and after that on the first race of second weekly event i have crashed my car. So I waited until next week and completed all 6x2 races and with end of the second week it has unlocked for me. So I can confirm that you dont need to comlpete both weekly events

Allow me to provide the definitive guide that clears up the misconceptions from the other guides:

There are two weekly events each week, both start and end at the same time. Call them "Left" and "Right".

You can find the weekly events in Events -> Competitive -> Community Events

You only need to do one of them each week over the course of two weeks.

However

The game will only award you the achievement if you complete the weekly challenge from the same side as the week before.

So for example:

Week 1 - DNF & Success
Week 2 - Success & DNF

This will not grant you the achievement.

Week 1 - Success & DNF
Week 2 - Success & DNF

This will grant you the achievement. I hope this is clear.

I still suggest that you complete both of them, and make sure you finish any active singleplayer championship before claiming your rewards. The achievement will pop after claiming the reward for the 2nd week.

If you are struggling with the driving sections, slow down, you are not required to win the event, you are only required to finish it. Trust in your spotter but exercise caution. Even if you are pushing for tier 1, in the weekly event, you can take the time to go slower, but terminal damage ends it for that week.

One point to note - online achievements are blocked if you have an ongoing career championship. Finishing the event an re-attempting should allow the achievement to unlock.

I happened to attempt this alongside finishing up the game, with the Triple Crown achievement. However, for a few weeks it wouldn't pop. I figured this was because I'd started one of the three Triple Crown events, so it was treated as in progress, and therefore blocked this popping.

I'd completed the Rally event of the Triple Crown, then left the other events for a few weeks. In between, I finished a number of weekly challenges (in various combos - 1 challenge, both challenges etc.). Achievement didn't pop. Then, I completed 2 weekly challenges, finished the remaining Triple Crown events, and then reviewed the Competitive menu to receive my completion awards. At this point, this achievement popped. So it seems that the Triple Crown is treated as one championship

Contrary to the "Discontinued" trophy flag, this trophy is still obtainable, while a little buggy.

In order to get this trophy quicker, I would start a Weekly Community Event on Sunday afternoon. You do not have to win, just simply finish the event and rank on the leaderboard. Once it is Monday morning at 11am GMT, you will get credits from your positioning in last week's event, then start another weekly event and finish that one.

When Monday morning at 11am GMT arrives, you will get credits from your positioning in the previous week's event, and the trophy should pop once you're able to select another weekly event.

Unlike some "solutions" on the Codemasters' forums, you do not need to play both weekly events in both weeks. I only needed to play one event one week, and the other the next. However, if you have done one event per week and the trophy still hasn't popped, try both events.

(Missable)

This is listed as missable due to the fact that if you have a DNF during your current week, you'll have to wait until the time resets to have another go.

Weekly events again are its own type which will be labelled on the picture. You will generally have two shots at this if you DNF one weekly event, so take it easy.

There will be six stages for you to complete one week, then you will have to do the same the following week. Once that time resets, the trophy will pop next time you load up community events.

Warning:

Hello, I never saw it mentioned in the guide, but patch 1.05 makes platinum unobtainable. Flavour of the week trophy is glitched now, and u need patch 1.05 to enter weekly events.

As been mentioned, you now need patch 1.05 in order to compete in weekly events.

To receive the achievement, you must complete both weekly events within one week. The achievement opens after summing up the results

The trophy is glitchy!
In theory, it’s enough just to complete 2 weekly events within one week and wait for the results - THAT’S ALL!
* It helps someone to go through twice.
PS Many foreign players never got it at all. Here is a discussion thread about this trophy on playstationtrophies.
