Finally, the Suzuka X1 gold time has been conquered, it took me over 2 days to achieve it, with tons of bad luck, bad judgment and overall hardships.

Here's my Gold run video, for anyone who wants to see how hard it is to drive the X1 fast enough to get this time. Sorry for the crappy quality, as I only have a cellphone: 



Definetly, the hardest time trial challenge I've ever done in any Gran Turismo game, and GT5's toughest challenge for me so far.

Golded Nürburgring/F in less than two hours, it was even easier than Monza:



Now that I finally completed the X1 challenge, I can safely say that this is indeed the hardest event ever created for a Gran Turismo game.

The amount of concentration, skill, ability and self-control that you've got to have to gold it is out of this world, because you actually have to do a better time than the current F1 champion and the official tester for the X1 car during GT5's production.

Kudos to KY and the entire staff of Red Bull Racing for creating such an amazing car and it would be really neat to see this car come to fruition in real life in the future. 

As for the reward of the event itself...the amount of exp was enough to boost me to mid level 34 (I'm still 1.2M exp away from 35, which I'll get there with the Lvl. 30, 32 and 33 endurances), and the best part: Three different X1 cars xD. 

I'll post pics soon.
