It's probably the hardest event to ever appear in a GT game, even with a wheel it's difficult to get gold.

With all this duping going around my friend sent me one anyway... I'd rather drive my CR-X to be honest.
 
I have after the patch using ds3 :) ABS:10,SRF:on,stearing sensitvity:7 everything else off...works like a charm 👍
 
And that makes two of us...

But I have a strange feeling that the fast rising number of carbon's in the GT5 ccommunity will hit a brick wall on March 3rd...
 
I golded them all with a wheel. Took me nearly 5 hours. Then I did it in an hour for my brother, on his account ;) It feels very good to beat this challenge :D
 
I got bronze before the lap times were changed... I told myself I would never set foot in that challenge again, but I may actually give silver a try.
 
Impossible for me using a DS3. I reckon I could get bronze easily, but its just that the car is so hard to control, I always get disqualified
 
I thought it was the best thing in GT5 IMO!!! I loved the challenge so much I even started a new account and I'm up to A-spec 28, 3 more 200miles of laguna seca and i'll be doing the challenge again... :dopey: :drool: :sly:

I have 2 prototypes, cuz I duped on so I have on with 0miles and other for racing, but i haven't used any of them in the race yet lol - they're still both 0mile cars... :crazy: gonna have third one this week...

It's fun but hard... Ohh and wheel helps ALOT...

Took me around 2 hours... Suzuka was the hardest IMO... Monza the easiest...
 
After bronzing them all with a ds3, and driving my prize :D I feel it would be much better to let the player set their car up themselves for the challenge. I had this horrible oversteer under breaking with the x2010 in the challenge, then I did suzuka 1000km with my prize and set it up (added ballast and PP went up to 999????) and I easily achieved gold equivalent lap times in the enduro (same tyres as challenge).
And ramping up the controller sensitivity is a godsend. All driving aids off apart from ABS 1.
I think il try and gold vettel challenges after doing 1000km on suzuka in X2010 now.surely itl be much easier......
 
The best practise is the challenge IMO... the first lap I think is the most important as you start in the pit... Divide the time you want to achieve by 2 and the first lap shoudn't be longer than the second one by more than a second in my opinion... other wise you won't even get bronze... as th pit exit doesn't affect the time that much as you can get into the (suzuka 1st corner) without braking... others less braking force needs to be applied to enter the first corner than going at full speed down the straight...

The biggest suprise in the challenge was the first laps, I thought I was quick then it came to me I was 6secs worse than bronze :scared: got better from then... :dunce:
 
I had the same experience. The key is that the suggested driving line is completely off. If you brake when it tells you to you will never get bronze. Now i've had practise, I only need to break AFTER the 1st corner, the last corner of the S section (before the uphill left), the hairpin and corner before that, and of course the tight section after the long straight. The rest of the time is full throttle or holding speed.no slowing.
Now I drive anything else and I fall asleep
 
I spend a good few hours (post 1.06) bronzing the challenge with a non shock pad (original equipment) and felt that it might be worth going for at least silver at some point. So I have 2 X2010s, both legit and can say I'm happy for a while that this is a good representation of GT5 skill, although perhaps not as rewarding as the Ring SLR challenge from 4 or the Complex String from 3, although that might have been to do with the company I was keeping then - before online, you had a go, then passed the controller and watched. I'd like to see an online version of that, but I digress. I used auto gears and steering on 3 or 4 (4 was for Suzuka, by far the hardest). Do you think mastery of manual is required for anything better than bronze?
 
I golded the challenges about a month ago. Suzuka for sure was the toughest. I lost it in the last turn of the last lap idk how many times. Ugh that was the worst part of suzuka for me. I would tell myself, alright you got this just take the last turn nice and easy and then i would accidentally cut and get dqed haha. But after I got gold it seemed so much easier and I can do it quickly now.
 
Yesterday I reached level 30 and within an hour I bronzed the Vettel challenge. I realize the times were changed to make it easier but I'm pleased I didn't have to spend so much time getting at least one car out of the Vettel challenge.

I managed using a wheel though .. Kept my replays . Got bored of grinding and stuck at it until i had all golds.

This challenge is all I'm interested in right now on GT5. I got bronze, now I want silver and gold. I have managed to get within 2 seconds of silver on all three tracks. I'll get the gold eventually.
 
ive only managed bronze in all events with a wheel,im only off 1st place by 4/9 seconds in all events but it is a hard one.i will just need to keep at it,to get all gold

I said the same thing...but I went back after the update and got silver on Monza on my third try...and it was only 5 tenths off Gold at that. Controller sensitivity @ 7 is a big help. When I get some spare time, all of them are getting upgraded to Golds.

Same here. I decided once I got 30 and unlocked Vettle challenge to do it till I achieved gold on all three. Monza took me a few hours, but golded it fairly easily (literally, I bronzed it on my second try). Went to Nurburg next...took maybe 5 total hours, but golded it too. Now I'm at Suzuka and have been working on it now for more than a few days. I've gotten up to silver, but even with my fastest time, I'm still 1.34 seconds from getting gold. The only thing I can say is I'm definately getting more consistent where I could only occasionally get a high 2:11, I now get them on a semi-typical basis.

I took a short a break from the challenge yesterday (thinking I'd do an A spec race for something different) and found this car messes your timing up so bad, even the easiest courses were almost impossible to drive. Considering it looked like slow motion, I was shocked...but now I know I'm done with any other racing till I've gotten Suzuka golded so my X2010 skills dont go away and I have to relearn. Then I can hop back into more typical cars and know I can readjust to them for good.

And I think they should award Silver trophies for getting silver and gold PSN trophy for getting gold...

Vettel Challenge is harder than getting Bob to level 40... even a 4 year old can do that :yuck:
 
I golded Monza in about 30mins. Its really not that hard with 7 sensitivity, you just have to string 2 decent laps together.

After the update, I bronzed GP/F and Suzuka in about 45mins overall together. The times I got were about at the halfway point between gold and bronze.

I reckon with more practice gold should be possible. The runs I had I make a lot of stupid errors. Getting rid of them and driving two awesome laps will net me gold. :)
 
I bronzed each track with my G25 wheel, in about 1 hour gameplay. lol, I left my forcefeedback at 10, and today my arms feel light heavy paperweights on my keyboard at work. Does increasing steering sensitivity affect wheel users? I don't feel like messing with the setting. I hate to say never say never, but, i don't think I will pursue gold on these anytime soon.
 
Hi guys! I'm Brazilian and I set a record of 2:07.180 with a G29 at Suzuka in the X2010, in Sebastian Vettel's Challenge.

I searched here, on Google and YouTube, and I couldn't find anyone who has done a better time than mine. If anyone knows of someone who has done a better lap, please let me know here.

I would say I hold the national record (that is, the fastest in Brazil), but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here's the video of me doing that record (in the link below):
