Josh Knight Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Has anyone tried starting a championship on easy, and the race before you get enough points to win the championship switch to expert. As your so far ahead even if you fail to score points in the next couple of races you are so far ahead i doubt 2nd place would catch up. I would try but im in Bahrain and if no one else has tried by the time i get far enough i will try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdean52 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i was going to try that exact method myself - great minds think alike!! i too also only have bahrain under my belt (3rd position in a virgin) in career as i'm concentrating on other achievements and some multiplayer action to build up my knowledge of all circuits before embarking on my 7 year career. if anyone tries this though and finds success let us know!!

DAYTONAMIKE Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) it's a good shout, and i don't know if it works or not, but to be honest I will be suprised if it does I mean you can't just complete say 4 acts of Gears of War on casual and then the 5th on insane and get the achievement.

JDAckers Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've just finished my first season, and cos it auto saves over everything, I can't go back. I'll try on the 2nd season, but I've just started so I'd expect someone to beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdean52 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 i can see this being a 49 out of 50 achievements game for me - expert settings make winning nigh on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctagonQontrol Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 i can see this being a 49 out of 50 achievements game for me - expert settings make winning nigh on impossible. Not sure... Played Istanbul the other day (some average difficulty) but my setup (Force India) and drivingstyle, made me qualify almost 1.5s ahead of Vettel. Haven't done any research in laptimes on Expert but a good setup and decent knowledge of a track, can certainly yield results. And I do have a hunch that early shifting can do wonders to avoid wheelspin coming out of a corner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't done any research in laptimes on Expert but a good setup and decent knowledge of a track, can certainly yield results. And I do have a hunch that early shifting can do wonders to avoid wheelspin coming out of a corner as well. the track i know best is sao paolo and last night i was posting 1:12 laps in grand prix mode when last year's actual best lap time was a 1:13:733 by Webber. suggests i can be quicker than the best AI. however this is with ABS and TCS on - I'm sure once I take these off I'm going to be going a lot slower. Plus I HATE manual shifting which you highlighted as a good way of avoiding wheelspin. i do only have a controller currently though which isn't the easiest thing to use for manual shifting IMO - but I do plan to invest in a wheel shortly which I presume is going to make manual shifting a heck of a lot easier with the paddle shifting.

OctagonQontrol Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I tried driving with a wheel, both on Forza 2 and 3 but the controller is a better thing for me in driving-games. Well done on that time; sounds like you know the track and the car and now it's a "way down" to get it done without all assists. Been studying the automatic gearbox and it always shifts back 1 gear too low which results in a very early upshift when accelerating. Knowing race-cars, I reckon that 98% of all turns can be done in a higher gear without losing too much time overall. Love to read other people comments here about how they drive differently in Expert than they would in an assisted car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterm1n8or Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't think this will be that hard at all. When I do races in career on expert difficulty in my Lotus, I can easily beat my Teammate Trulli, so surely when I get to a Red Bull/Mclaren/Ferrari I will be able to beat my teammate just as easily?

Fifty Two Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 so i made the ai professional. wow what a difference! im not winning so easily anymore, im actually knocked down to 10th or so lol. much much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Knight Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 I in a red Bull and was doing 1:58's at bahrain in Career. 1 1/2 seconds slower than Mark Webber, but in time trial i was doing 1:56's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytenis Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Now I am at my season 3 (out of 7) already got contract from RED BULL I did all seasons on easy,medium. I'm thinking about expert run in season 4 and I got in mind a brutal idea . Put 100% laps and on extreme its easy to kill the drivers by pushing them to the side of the track and if U do it very gently U don't get penalty and other driver gets DNF(didnt finished) so for example U can kill 1 driver/lap so U need 23 laps or smth. Because without traction control and with manual gears its around the world na na na, Im spinning in every corner ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctagonQontrol Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Smart thinking Vytenis; at least on the dry tracks you can make a good run but I wonder how you will personally fare on the wet tracks to even catch up with any front runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
