Ok... if tonite D3 server maintainance then it will be GTA time haha...

2nite u drive with magic

I got 39 gold so far. 1 silver

8-4 You don't need to overtake all cars. I'm in 3rd and also Gold it.
My tips: Traction Off, ABS=1, Steering=7, the rest default.
From start, max all the way, overtake white car, and try keep as right as possible to the pit-lane backwall.
Brake when in middle of red line, turn sharp right, straight accelerate. Bear in mind, the car will slide easily, throttle control to get the launch effect without red-tyres.
The car will easily go uphill, then immediate turn left smoothly also. Don't drift. Sometimes can get good line, and right after the uphill before the right corner, should be following very close to the blue car (draft it).
Turn right and immediate overtake blue car, then draft red car partially (may not need to do this also) and overtake on the long straight.
Immediate brake on straight line (follow driving aid).
Turn smoothly and should be following directly behind yellow car. Sometimes you may able to overtake it.
Just drive smoothly on the S-corner, power out from the last curve, and Gold.

8-5 I'm using same setup as above.
Initial bronze at 1:38+
After 20+ tries (including out of track and hit cone), manage to silver at 1:36.5
For a moment, I'm at #9 of the online ranking saw alien JYLee at #4 with 1:35+
I still need to squeeze half a second to gold it. Gonna try again later tonight.
I think as stated by GTA, need to control throttle power, and I'm using DS3. Drift (red tyres) will slow down the car considerably, especially when powering out from corner.

ahh i m having a very hard time with the last track, motegi twin course 370z.

i've golded the rest , only this i cannot seem to get it right!

any help/assist/pointers??

btw, to get the prizes from GT academy, u must GOLD ALL events right?

wth motegi..LoL ,.

I also silver only. Not yet check top scorer ghost replay.
Some can do it with TC=7. Some TC=Off.

What's your D3 ID bro? add me trunksku#1996. Currently stuck in ACT II Inferno using Barbarian. need help.

I was in 2nd place and yet I only can get a Silver out from it.

I lost it how i launched my self through the up-hill slope. The first white car is easy to over take. My experience...

i. Overtook white car (first car) on the left.
ii. Cut near to the left cones and hopefully not getting slippery and proceed cut to the right, near the cones.
iii. Based on my best time record, once I'm on the flat I'll draft a quick few seconds on the blue car (second car).
iv. Turn right over take the blue car + red car (I didn't bother to draft the red car. LOLZ!)
v. Hit brakes a bit late on the straight, tap that yellow car from the right (turn in right corner) I did slightly bump onto the yellow car side but not DQ.
vi. Overtook yellow car but couldn't overtake the last car. It's pretty much near the finishing line after I nailed that yellow car. I thought I got Gold and I got really pissed off with a ~!@#$%^&* 0:00:238! Damn it! I nearly threw my controller. NEARLY!

Eh, how come you in 3rd place but managed to get Gold? I tried a few times and even on 3rd place, I only can get Silver. Anyway, to summarise the whole ordeal, I had trouble getting up the hill with the left-right small corners. If I can nailed that on a consistent manner, I think I can get Gold for this challenge.

I left my data cable in the office, since I was off day today I couldn't upload the pics. Going to do it tomorrow. Haha! Time to go for dinner!

golded round 7 & 8. phewww

Nice going! I still two trophies away. Maybe I'll try it in these few days time.

Ok i'm officially sad now I thought I have a chance of sneaking into top16 germany and go to national final. Was 8th this afternoon, now down all the way to 17th

Laptimes are gonna keep tumbling and i dont think i can play so much now with final presentation coming up soon

top17th still have plenty of time bro..

how dare you to compete with schumacher and vettel..lol

alien

i cannot gold 8-5!

tips? maybe a ds3 isnt the best for this track n car LOL.. very hard to partial throttle.

no lah. JYLEE is faster than me by 4 seconds but i'm currently no.6 in SG rankings LOL.

The best way to gold that round is to treat the car like it was on comfort tires, no late brakings & progressive throttle inputs out of the corners.

8-4 = I guess the important point is not to skid/drift (red-tyres).
(ii) Turn left smoothly. And align straight with red-line driving aid. It's just a split second thing.
(iii) Turn right max and release to align straight go uphill. Press accelerator 100% and don't ever release. Before reach uphill, start turn left. The car will drift (without red-tyres) to the right (on this left turn) due to momentum, and you will get a smooth left turn at top-hill.
(iv) I manage to overtake blue car on the right-corner itself, even before the exit apex. Once straight up, already start to overtake red car. Base on my latest fastest test (on other account).
(v) I hit brakes as per driving aid braking line on the long straight, as I want to turn early (with momentum) and smoothly into the S corner. Tap on accelerator, brake again for the middle turn. Then accelerate again, this time I manage to overtake the yellow car (2nd).
(vi) Brake again and smoothly (control throttle). Once reach apex, fully throttle out 100%, use the left kerb maximum.

Gold does not need 1st. For 8-4, just need err... forgot time, under 38 seconds ?

Gold 8-5 yesterday using DS3 Finally 40-golds.

This time I leave everything default. TC=7
ABS=1
DS3 Steering=7
I'm the old-school kind, using X and square. Not L2/R2.

My non-alien tips, just sharing:
- Use driving aid : driving line = on
- Power down the straight. Brake accordingly in straight line only and once release, turn right sharply. Release turning. Throttle control (tap and release, then tap longer and release, then press and hold). You need to practise on different corners whether to do 1-3x tap-and-release). Remember, no skid/drift with red-tyres.
- 2nd corner, turn right, I brake slightly earlier, then turn and the car will slide (without red-tyres) and you can throttle.
- On that S-corner. Release throttle/tap brake then power again.
- Last 2-corner on S, I brake early, again turn right and full throttle control and turn left back to the straight.
- Follow braking line again for the sharp ^ turn. Throttle control again to get out from corner apex. Find your own apex, I didn't really use the driving line apex.
- Accelerate full on the right turn, until the short-straight.
- This one I do late brake. Then release brake, sharp turn left. Tyre skid (no red), Throttle control left and I'm on left side. Just nice...
- For the next right-corner, tap brake. Again, throttle full out from apex, towards the left side, use kerb slightly, don't hit cone.
- Power down the short straight, keep right. This time also late brake, but slightly only. Brake in straight line, it stop faster.
- Release brake, sharp turn left, no throttle.
- Once line in sight, full throttle control again to get out from corner. I did not use the inner kerb / apex.
- 2nd last straight, I also late brake very slightly into the corner. Skid a bit (no red).
- Power out from last corner, again, throttle control. No red. This is important, as I manage to cut 0.5 seconds if power out correctly without the car swing left/right.

If throttle control done well, every corner can cut 0.1-0.3 seconds. I manage to do it in 1:35.3x in my other account. This account is 1:35.9x
Gold need 1:36.000

JYLee really alien Last night his record improved to 1:32.x
2nd is 1.34.x
I'm 1.35.9

Yeah. Saw your name in SG PSN 1.35.x
Agree, throttle control without skid/drift or red-tyres is very important.

im not alien la look at see zeri's time, he international alien
