I do not have a wheel and I was wondering if there is any possible way for an average level driver to beat the x1 challenge without a wheel and preferably without throwing my controller through the Television as well
 
Bronze is now stupidly easy to obtain, used to be super hard with a DS3 and am glad I beat it under those conditions rather than now as it seems like more of an achievement. Practise is your only friend on this one though.
 
Yea just practice, practice, practice. Without being able to tune the car to your liking its hard to be quick but with just practicing, I was able to shave 10 seconds off my total time in under an hour.

Like some of the replies say, just practice. I have only bronzed 2 so currently trying Suzuka. Will get it someday.
 
I bronzed Suzuka and Nurby once the time was relaxed - before that i got someone who can actually drive to do it for me:tup:
 
@OP: forget it. I gave up after days of trying. :ouch:

Get a wheel (at least for some days if you don't want to keep it) & goldish it the easy way. Not worth the hassle doing it with a DS3. 👍

Only some few uber natural people (maybe 1%) with high sensifity thumbs can goldish it with a DS3. Epic fail the challenge & the X2010, at least with a DS3. :ouch:
 
I couldnt do it for ages and didnt realise the times for bronze stooped so much until O read this thread :(

But yeah a few days ago I bronzed all 3 with a DS3 in about 20 mins (too me 2 attempts on suzuka) and felt well happy. But now I know about the bronze times I feel common again 👎
 
Why? It's like an F1 with more downforce and power. Nothing unrealistic about that. An F1 engineer designed it on paper.

To be fair though, driving it in real life would be too hard even for the super robot that is Seb Vettel.

And if you want to win the X2010 challenge, then use SRF On, everything else Off (PLUS ABS) and smash the sensitivity to 7. All you need to do is keep it on the track after that! ...Yeah. Good luck with that. :grumpy:

What works in paper, doesn't always work in reality. Reality has people with organs that they tend to like to keep in 1 place.

The question is: what is realizable in real life?

The speed on straights, maybe. The speed & uber grip in corners, for sure not. :sly:
 
Practice, practice, practice! Your reaction time has to be about double or triple that of an F1 racer. Now let's not say "stupidly easy" as if this should be frustratingly hard to where we'd NEVER complete GT5. I actually wished GT5 would let you practice with the X2010 and get accustomed to its driving style rather than start you out cold turkey with the three events. You really need to practice your technique using this car. You can't just learn how to win with this car right away. You have to practice using this car. Then, you have to learn how to properly use this car on the three tracks offered.

I gave up on the Nürburgring and moved on to Monza. That's where I cleared my first of the three events. I tried Nürburgring again, failed, and moved on to Suzuka. I would [somehow] get Bronze at Suzuka. So I now tried Nürburgring again. Eventually, I completed the challenge and won a Red Bull X2010.

It is difficult, but not impossible. And yes- I use a DualShock 3 even though I have a Driving Force Pro. So don't give up!

I would think jetfighter pilots experiment forces much higher than those you would experiment on a X1.

I don't know, but FIA is always trying to slow down F1 cornering abilities. Engineers can go way beyond, if it wasn't for the constant ruling.

Jet fighters lay down in the cockpit and the plane banks when it turns so the "G" forces are always down into the seat other than rolling left and right and the neck is vulnerable upon roll entry. They do sustained "G's" in combat (dogfight and missle evasives) to about 9 give or take.

Cars don't roll when they turn so the forces are throwing you from one side of the seat to the other. If you're strapped in tight enough (and they usually are ;)), your organs shift (smash) from one side of your body to the other.

I read something a long time ago about Indy and NASCAR drivers going fast and only turning left. Their organs shifted to the right side of their bodies over time. I believe this was with Indy only as NASCAR doesn't create the "G" forces that Indy cars do.

.

Not really, A jet fighter pilot tends to not go much high than 6g's vertical, where as the X2010 spits out 8gs horizontally, The forces are acting differently upon the occupant. In a jet fighter, they wear the G suits to prevent too much blood going down to there legs for the vertical G's, in a X2010, there isnt much that can be done to stop your left lung changing places with your right.

EDIT: Just read smileys post above. I think we said basically the same thing...
