I am still level 29, so not yet running in the X2010. But with other fast cars I realized that the DS3 steering works best if I do not get off the acceleration button while braking. Maybe this is the way to run the X2010 as fast as possible with a DS3? Who knows...
 
Just a little off topic, but I gotta let you know. i just golded the first Grand tour event. finally. It made me jump higher than when I got my X1. pfeew.

On topic: I forgot to mention that you should turn off the ghost right away, and just focus on the time. The ghost becomes a real pain in the sight when your going for gold.

Back off topic. I did it. Pfeew.
 
My advice is to turn off PS3 when you become nervous. It worked for me : started the challenge on Monza and Golded in 20 minutes, then moved on Nurburgring, where at first glance it seemed to me impossible to gold, so I turned off and went to have lunch. After 2 hours I've retried Nurburgring and Golded in one hour, and Suzuka in less than an hour. It can be frustrating, so take a break when you start to become nervous 👍

I know that with DS3 it's way much difficult, but Bronze is possible, so keep trying 👍
 
In order to help me, I did the 1000km of Suzuka Endurance race in the Red Bull x2010. That's 192 practice laps for you!
 
only thing i found anoying is i got 2'11.558 on suzuka..and silver is 2'11.500...now i cant get better then 2'11.9xx
 
Not trying to sound arrogante but I got bronze in all in my first try at the challenge , about 30 minutes total, If you do have a F1 game, let's say F1 2010 play again a bit this will help you being a X1 is more like a F1 than a regular road car.

Manual gear all assists off , abs set to either 3 or 4 was what I used along with a G27, I got all X1s in every color and I must say MY OWN Vettel X1 is by far the most special to me.


Good luck (add me if you guys want to race X1s with me)

FYI used the same setting and a g27 and got gold 3/3 within 1 hour 30, so you aint got much to brag about, try and help or be quiet :sly:

imo watch the video's they will help you alot, try slowing down and relaxing just to complete the 2 laps that way you get more driving experience and less frustration with the car.

if you are doing a 1:05.9 or lower on your first lap suzuka your on for a easy gold anything over your second lap is going to have to be spot on. (1:03's are do-able with practise)

Also monza doesn't help with he feel of the car as its just chicanes and flat out turns to get a feel i suggest nurburg (lots of run off more forgiving than suzuka but similar sort of corners and braking techniques)

any other questions fire away:tup:
 
I obtained my X1 through level 35 B-spec and am almost at level 40 A-spec so I will be able to buy them too soon, but I've still tried the challenge many times with a DS3 but can't ever get it even close in one lap. So, I decided to try some absurd out of the box method but still failed: I got so fed up with trying to get from the gas to the brake and back again using my thumb (square and x buttons like I have for years; which works for me with other cars), that I decided to try a one button approach: I used and elastic band to hold up the throttle (analogue stick) and just drove applying the brake wherever I had to (This is how I golded the final slalom license test). I could get within 10 secs of bronze on all three tracks. lol I knew it wouldn't work because I would lose too much time having to break early and fighting the accelerator, but this was still fun. I figured if there were a way to cut the throttle automatically by 50-75% when applying the brake, it might be possible: but that's just a hypothetical and would require some wiring and circuitry modifications too complex and time-consuming for me.

The other absurd idea I had was if there was a way to autofire the pause button and drive in slow motion. lol Unfortunately there is no 'start' button on a usb keyboard and I don't have an autofire controller. Do they even make autofire controllers with autofire start buttons these days?

Not trying to blame you, but actually, this thread is about driving the challenge with a DS3 controller. No surprise that you managed to get bronze that quick with a G27... :dunce:

Hmmm well 1. He did it with a DS3 not a G27, per the OP and 2. He did offer some settings, as did you but for a wheel and 3. What was your point again?
 
It's possible to get gold on Monza and Nurburgring with a DS3 'cause I did. Nurburgring is really, really hard with a DS3. Suzuka however is, in my opinion, impossible. I golded Suzuka with a crappy PS2 Driving Force steering wheel.

All you really need is practice until you fully understand the car :-). Some people understand it in 2 days, others in 2 weeks.
