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