F1 2010 Challenge

[jenic]

Seems fitting since it came out this weekend and Singapore is also this weekend.

So basically fastest lap.

Car can be any, track must be singapore in the dry, assists can be any and the lap must be valid.

To start my best so far is below, its still poor though

1) Mike - 1:48:056

 

[TimR26]

1:45.406

 

[jenic]

1) jenic - 1:45.266
2) atouba - 1:45.406

 

[brisa4984]

would be nice to say what car and assists next to the time

 

[tyranical]

should set this to no assists tbh, good choice of track though I suggest we do this every race weekend and see if we can beat the best times on the track!

 

[TimR26]

1) atouba - 1:43.143 - Red Bull, Medium TC, Auto
2) jenic - 1:45.266

i need this game in my life!!

 

[z8jay]

1.43.930 with a McLaren, custom setup. Braking line for corners on, auto gearbox, everything else off (traction, abs, etc).

A screenshot for proof, although you can see it in the video below too.

I do love the game to bits but it can be frustrating on these tight tracks. Need to be 100% perfect to get a good lap. I think with a few set up tweaks I could go faster.

Took me a few attempts to even get a clean lap though. Have a look at this video! I gave up after the first clip lol. Sorry about the poor quality. I'd rather not have to upload a huge file just for 1min of footage.

 

[brisa4984]

yeh im iin the 1.43s but im doing really shoddy laps.

 

[adam172]

just ordered this game !!!

 

[dunganick]

I cant even approach a 1.43, using a pad, Lotus and no Assists i am doing 1.47's - Very frustrating track, but great when you nail corners.

 

[GarethM]

should be stated if a pad or wheel is used also. Ill give it a go now

 

[midge]

1.56 though i havn't really tried, that was done racing online with logitech wheel and plenty of mistakes

 

[DaveLiquid182]

0.00 Bloody zavvi sent me ps3 version. I ordered for my xbox

 

[GarethM]

1.45.68 is my best so far, using a pad and the McLaren no assists

 

[Toypop]

Aye it has to be absolutely all assists turned off, manual gears and the ghey racing line thing turned off. Gonna have a play on it now.

I wonder if some formats are quicker than others? I.e. console versus PC?

 

[GarethM]

Going to give this another go after the GP, see what I can do

 

[dk]

Took me 12 laps on time trial just to get a time as every lap was discounted due to me putting a tyre over a line, really pissing me off especially when they discount the next lap when you havent even finished the one you are one, totally pointless doing that.

The only time I managed before I got angry the following lap was 1m 53s with no aids

 

[GarethM]

If it invalidates the lap, I just restart,much quicker and easier. What car did you use DK?

 

[dk]

red bull as i hadnt raced in one before.

 

[Toypop]

You will be stuck in the low 50's then you will suddenly drop to the mid 40's as soon as you put a half decent clean lap in.

The problem is more getting valid laps. You can do low 1:40's all day but it usually involves a minor infringement that never gave you any benefit but invalidates your lap.

Then I find the issue is you can be on for a low 1:40 but then start getting anxious about a small mistake invalidating your lap near the end so you end slowing down too much or having a self fulfilling prophecy and making a mistake!

 

[GarethM]

Ditto ^ I know I can get my time down by a few seconds, but its nervy LOL

Totally agree with that, sort of ruins the game. The lap invalidation in forza worked a lot better. Only invalidated your next lap if it gave you an advantage on the run up to the start finish line and let you use the kerbs more.

 

[dunganick]

Just done a 1.40.200 in the Red Bull in time trial on the pad - swear its piss easy in time trial compared to the career mode.

 

[mwn11]

thats cause the cars have all the upgrades isnt it?

 

[brisa4984]

shall we do silverstone

post your quickest lap?

 

[Philip.]

I'm happy to do Silverstone, I will jump on it now.

Assists on/off?

 

[brisa4984]

1.31.367

im sure 1.30s is easily done

@phillyh - what ever you like i guess.

 

[dunganick]

Silverstone is the worst circuit on the game. Montreal is where its at.

 

[Philip.]

1.31.958 here, way too careful during first sector

 

[z8jay]

I'll give silverstone a go tomorrow and post some video

 

[tyranical]

Guys should do Suzuka as thats the next race in real life.

Best way imo to make this challenge move on by itself is to always be trying for the next race and the cut off is when that race finishes, you then swap to the next.

At the end of the season do what the f**k you want lol.

 

[mr.valver]

Sorry didn't see the Silverstone challenge.

I'll get right on it... lol

 

[GarethM]

Silverstone is the worst circuit on the game. Montreal is where its at.

Have to agree, Montreal is the best track in the game, although Spa and Valenica are very good too

 

[mr.valver]

Will still going with Silverstone then or changing track? Currently trying to get used to Silverstone doing 1.33's

 

[GarethM]

Id keep with Silverstone, but we need to state if its:
with a wheel or pad
What aids are on.
What car you're in.

 

[mr.valver]

MP4-25
G27
All Aids off
Manual
Custom Car setup

1:31.393

 

[GarethM]

I'm going to give it a go shortly

But it'll be with a pad. med TC, all other assists off.

 

[Jason_E]

Currently lapping about 1:33 using s**tty PS3 pad and all aids off. Just struggle with the new corners

Oh and hate how you so much as touch the grass and your next two laps are invalidated. So f**king unnecessary!

 

[Damo_Sport]

Il give it ago when i finish work
