Who has managed gold in all amg driving academy special events?
 
Me too, not that hard after some practice. I have to say that after the academy challenges, I can drive the Nurburgring very steadily. I love the track more than ever.
 
I am all gold except for the silver on the full lap of expert, just .02 seconds faster and I would be all gold
 
You just have to practice. Took me about 10 tries each challenge before I got it right. Did the full laps 3x each until I golded.
 
Some people that know the Nurburgring well find this very easy.

I did first gold on all the sections on all the levels. On the dry I get gold a lot quicker if TCS is turned off.
Then started attacking the full laps. It takes a few tries (days depending on your talent).

After the Tuned SLS on dry worked out, the rest seemed simple.
 
The thing that makes this challenge hard is:
- No ghost
- No split times

So every time you have to drive 2:30 then find out you're a second too slow.
Attempt #17, you think: oh yeah this is feeling good !
And voila, you're still 0.2 seconds too slow.

Thats annoying.
PD should put 5 split time points in this challenge so you know after 4 turns you're still on schedule or it's better to start over. Or even better, put in ghost car.
 
Yea - all gold here also. I actually had the hardest time with the all-dry sections with the slow car, the first ones I believe. All the others, especially the wet, were pretty easy.

And for splits.... just make your own mental notes on 2 or three memorable corners. That's what I did - for example, the last one ending the track my split would be once I hit the big sign over the track at the start of the long end straight....needed to be at x:43:00 if IIRC - and it's been forever since I did them.
 
IMO the beginner event was by far the hardest. Especially part 4. In expert it only took me two attempt to complete.
 
All gold. Didn't find it too complicated. Wet events are by far the easiest.
 
I knew the layout fairly well, it helped me put names with the faces--- so to say. Now I can intelligently discuss the track. :)
 
AMG Begineer Sector 4 was the event which made me start using MT.
The rest of the AMG I got on 1st try (apart from begineer sector 4 and intermediate full lap).
'Twas ages ago tho.
So it's very easy.
 
Slightly off topic: why isnt the SLS AMG tuned car in the game other than that event?
 
Very easy to do if you know the track and your used to the physics in the game :)
 
Not the easiest for me and I haven't got gold on all those events. But practicing and using the driving line do help a lot.I might try and gold the rest soon.
 
All gold, no aids. I found the full dry lap in the SLS AMG to be the hardest ... the night I finally did it I got something like three 7.05.xxx's which was crazy frustrating.
