Wow! i salute you Sir. Honest gratulations!

i tried x1 for the first time yesterday. it was really fun to play though i wasnt able to complete any single event. so far the x1 fells kinda like a uberpowerful kart. obvisly u have to get to get used to it, but it doesnt seem that hard to figure it out. on the other side im sure it gets pretty hard as soon as you aim for gold. how perfect do you have to be?

i guess i have to get me a x1 by leveling bspec up to level 35 and then practise in free mode or what ever it is called. btw did you say you are playing with a wheel or a pad?

Once again: Gratulation!

Thanks

First: do you have a wheel? If you dont, this is going to be almost impossible. I've heard of people (very few) golding Nurburgring GP and Monza, but to my knowledge no one's done it on Suzuka yet.

If you have a wheel though, this moves from impossible to difficult. Don't bother waiting til b-spec 35, the bronze times are doable with practice. Do Monza first, it's the easiest, and will give you practice and an ego boost. Nurburgring and Suzuka both took me like 3 or 4 hours to bronze.

As far as mistakes, you have some wiggle room on all 3 tracks:

On Monza, I fumbled my way through the long left - righthander curve - left section and still got gold comfortably. Cut the 2nd chicane to gain some time.

On Nurburgring GP, I had a whatever first lap (1:04.5xx, where my best first lap was 1:04 flat), but had a flying 2nd lap to make up for it and get gold.

On Suzuka, you have to be close to perfect... This one took me probably 8-10 hours to go from bronze to gold. On my second lap, I missed my braking point at turn 11, but still just barely got it with .042 to spare.

Last thing... If I can do it anyone can. I'm a pretty average driver, but I'm damn persistent. If you can sit through hours and hours of trying, you'll get this

i dont own one neither do i know anybody who i could lend it from. Additionally i dont feel like paying 100€ just for this challenge. but if i buy it right now... i could play more than just the x1s with it...hmmm (maybe alfa on eiger as well)

which wheel did u use/ r u using?

i prefer driving in practice mode in order to get used to the car and each track without beeing careful to be disqualified. with the actual challenge i tend to  drive safe just for the sake of not beeing qualified. i cant test the limit as good as in free mode.  thats why i consider waiting for bspec35 the better option.
