So, am I the only idiot who...?

[berty1979]

Only bronze for me on all three, driving this car not enjoyable. I havent even got a clue what the glitches are and no, your not an idiot.

 

[Bushby_23]

I can hardly control the bloddy thing, I find there is too much lag in the steering (ds3 user). The stick is pushed all the way long before the car is at full lock

That's what Steering Sensitivity setting is for.

Tried that, still get a little lag which 🤬 me off.

 

[jkt008]

I got Gold on Monza, and Silver on Suzuka and Nurburgring. (I wasted my whole weekend just to get Silver on Suzuka.)

 

[jedi09]

I have never attempted it and honestly for some odd reason I have no interest to unless I feel like beating the game to 100% completion which at this point I don't.

 

[Energizerrr]

I golded all 3 with my trusty sixaxis.
The point is they're not impossible at all (Nurburgring was the hardest - took me 5 days).
In my opinion if they added 0.5 second it would be more than easy.

You're not the only "idiot" because not everyone glitched Vettel.

I understand what you're implying. I have mines set to 7, but it still takes a couple of tenths of a second to fully respond to steering input, which can seriously mess up your entire plans through sharp or hard-angled corners. Had that happen on all three tracks of the Vettel Challenge and was annoying However the slow response is useful for going through soft-angled corners like the Esses on Suzuka.

 

[doctorrg]

I haven't even bothered to try.

This.

You keep hearing about the lag problem in other games (Shift 2, most noticeably), but the X2010 is the one car where it actually causes a big enough difference in GT5 to mess with players.

I haven't golded the challenges or even set a time. My DS3 is too worn out for me to complete them ( pushing the stick too quickly causes the L3 button to lock up). I wonder what genius thought it was a good idea to place L3 and R3 buttons on the DS3?

Perhaps when we get the G25 fixed, I could have another go, but I simply haven't the time to dedicate to finishing this single challenge, not like I did when I played GT3 and GT4... so I'm not bothered by my lack of medals for it.

 

[ghskilla]

The X1 challenge to me was a challenge. That's why they called it a challenge. It's a challenge, not Pee-Wee's Drive in an Oval. Of course it won't be easy, all I needed were some good reaction times and controller steering sensitivity (and some of Monza's open chicanes ). And I finished the challenge in... 3 days. Just keep trying, Monza's easy, Nurburgring's average. And Suzuka is like trying to find an exit from the Pit of Satan!

Keep trying.

 

[Culkin]

I haven't even attempted it

I have an X2010 in my garage thats only ever been drove to grind Indy before the seasonals came out, since then ive not used it once nor will I

 

[tALEz]

I managed to gold the challenges using the DS3 like some others. Some say Nurburgring is the hardest, some say Suzuka.
I myself felt quite frustrated while doing Nurburgring, but technical-wise Suzuka was still harder for me.

I did not exploit the glitches, and I won't do it. And I use DS3. I only got gold on Monza. I got silver on Nur, but I can't beat 2:09:000 barrier. I never did a 2:03:999 lap, which is a must to gold it. It's impossible for me... and I won't revert the updates to exploit the glitch!

If you were referring to Nurburgring, a 1st lap below 1:04.000 is not a must.
I've seen ppl on YouTube even with a 1st lap of 1:04.6xx and were still able to gold it.

Edit: Sorry, yes I meant 1:04 instead of 2:04.

 

[Energizerrr]

1:04* @above

 

[uMadson?]

Got bronze, said 🤬 it and walked away with the S. Vettel X1.

Gold is possible with the DS3, took me awhile to learn the track and handle the sheer speed of the X2010.

My advice to anyone attempting to gold this challenge is analyse videos of people who've achieved gold legitimately. Look for markers on side of track as braking points. Use sector times as a guide, try to break the circuit down in stages in your mind. Like the AMG event, you have to complete the Nurburgring in 4 separate stages before given the whole circuit to complete. Apply the same method to Monza, Nurburgring & Suzuka.

Learn and anticipate the bends before you reach them so you're always thinking slightly ahead as you're driving. This way you're already prepared and technically, have the car positioned to take it at speed.

Turn the ghost car off it's too distracting. I'd even go further to say turn off some of the instrument displays.

On Suzuka I found using the directional buttons gave me "full steering lock" instead of the analogue stick. Possibly due to me turning so fast with the stick it was moving diagonally instead of straight across.

Experiment with ABS settings. On the Nurburgring I found the quickest way to take some of the bends was by almost throwing the car into a bend full steering lock whilst braking heavily at the same time then accelerating out. Using ABS 7.
But complete constrast in techniques for Suzuka, I set ABS to 1 so you maximise braking before you enter the bend then turn and accelerate full speed on exit.

Above all, attempt the X1 Challenge when it feels right for you, there's no obligation to do it, just simply enjoy driving the 3 different circuits and I guarantee with practice your times will improve.

You are certainly no idiot if you can't complete this event. I personally found the X1 Challenge the hardest event in the entire Gran Turismo series! There's plenty of helpful people on here who are only too happy to help anyone who is trying to complete gold with the DS3 in this event. Goodluck

 

[uMadson?]

If you're feeling nooby then you can bump ABS up to 10 too.

I love X1 challenge and i golded every TT in one day. I think the gold limit was challenging enough, but they seriously shouldnt have added the easier bronze time via update. It is so LAME that now every noob idiot gets the car.... They should have awarded only the gold winners with that car. Rest should get like helmets or other prizes.

Such a lame comment.

They at least try. There are great number of people who glitch the gold. They are lame in my book, not those who try to at least bronze.

And why u mad son, don't you know that you can buy X1 on level 40? Like 100000 of them? Even "noobs" can do that.

There are also GT5 players who either can't be bothered to do stuff or don't have the time to do so. My OCD isn't on the X2010 too. I don't need another X1 I think, 1 is just enough for me.

My guess goes that this one glitched gold (if he even has it).
Leave your elitism at the doorstep.

Trust me you are not the only one, in fact I would say that among DS3 users, even getting gold in one of the events is well above average. It is VERY VERY difficult to reach those times using a DS3. That car is so difficult to drive using a DS3 because to reach those times you really have to be driving that car to the edge of its ability and it is very difficult to "feel" exactly where that edge is with a DS3. While it is a bit less difficult with a wheel, even then it is quite difficult and requires a good amount of skill. It should probably take most people hours and hours of practice to get their lap times down to the gold level.

 

[Energizerrr]

It takes some time to learn to drive X2010 (it took me 10 minutes on Monza/10 minutes of driving until I actually started running gold worthy laps).
Here's what I can say to help:

- Chase camera works the best
- Manual transmission saves you valuable tenths
- You have to develop a style so that you brake and steer at the same time (also known as trail-braking, which is a must with X2010)
- You have to relax, if you're having a bad day you should leave it for tomorrow
- Lower ABS is better because of the trail-braking tehnique
- Brake balance should be: 5/8 or any value with higher number in the rear
- Controller sensitivity must be on high, 7 is the best value
- Turning ghost off helps
- Do the challenge in this order: Monza (getting familiar with the car) -> Nurburgring (doing the actual hard work) -> Suzuka (after Nurburgring you'll be a X2010 expert and you'll find Suzuka quite easy)
- You must be persistent, you mustn't give up (although the challenge will seem impossible at first)

If you want splits, tips for any track just PM me and I'll be happy to help.
I hope this helps.

I just bronze with DFGT and im so proud of it!! and you are not an idiot!!!

I think you took a few cozy minutes on a comfy sofa or bed right after bronzing it. I can imagine the stress that your arms can take.

 

[C-ZETA]

It was hard enough for me to get Bronze. Couldn't keep the damn thing on track about 99 times out of 100 for each one. Trying to Gold it would almost certainly result in the end of my life.

That's why they called it a challenge.

Somewhat correct, especially considering I've done this but not the Sebastian Loeb Rally Challenge yet.

Hahaha, do you think that the gold is that hard?? Everyone who has achieved it, is considered glitcher? Look mate, anyone who is experienced with sims, should get it in no time. Monza at least is kinda cake tbh. But for suzuka i had to spend 3 hours of practise before starting to score ~1:04 laps so it was possibly the hardest event for me in whole game.

I agree with the fact that glitchers are kinda sad but in the end its PD that failed in programming.

And i dont hate cute noobs who try their ass off to get that sad bronze. They can have it, i dont care. IMO its just that the prizes are wrong. At the moment Redbull is loosing its glory and value since its so usual car in every man's garage. It shouldnt be in car dealership or b-spec prize list. It should be exclusive to those who gold the challenges.

Because you can't get one when you hit level 35 every man and his dog already have it.

I think duping is a bigger reason as to why so many people have X2010s, not because of a higher bronze time. And "glory" and "value"? It's just a game man. You might as well complain about the "value" and "glory" of Ferraris being ruined since anyone can literally buy as many as they want in the game. Should they be locked away too?

It shouldnt be in car dealership or b-spec prize list. It should be exclusive to those who gold the challenges.

Why should this be the case? I honestly don't understand why it bugs people so much that others can get to the same things in the game they can.

What's wrong with people getting to content in the game that they spent their hard earned money on? Or do you need a reason to show off the fact you got gold?

Never got passed the first corner on 'Ring GP after 6 tries. Said "F THIS!" and moved on.
