Popular Post fadingtrails Posted April 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) The nine DLC trophies are all offline and unmissable. Like the "9 new trophies next week" topic says, they're all about "beating pre-set lap times with certain track and car combinations." Here's some additional information about the best way to go about unlocking these, including car setups that worked for me. You're allowed to use assists and flashbacks. The Objectives mentioned in the trophy descriptions can be found in the Player Profile menu. They can be achieved through career but if you just want to try for them straightaway, the best way to do so is by starting either a custom Race or Time Attack in Free Play, with no AI present. Each mode has its own benefits and drawbacks, being: Time Attack starts you off at high speed - making it easy to restart and begin a new lap - but is stricter about track limits In a Race, the game will be less strict about staying within track limits, but you start off at low speed - from a standing start, or, preferably, a rolling start Assume I unlocked a trophy in a custom Race, unless mentioned otherwise below. Some more info: The DLC cars are all found under the Seasons Vehicle Category Laps done in Hot Lap Qualifying won't count If your lap timer turns red it means your lap's been invalidated The trophies will unlock as soon as you beat the lap time The Objective will show onscreen as being completed at the same time For the Objective to register, though, you'll have to either 'Retire' from the session or complete it and quit to the main menu I should add that setups are based on personal preference and aren't guaranteed to work for you. Consider trying the stock setup (or your own) first before copying mine. In terms of assists, play the game as you have been. If you feel you're doing good laps and are still off the target lap time, that's when you should start lowering assists, but do so gradually, to get used to how the car handles. Lowering Traction Control seems to let people find the most lap time. I've embedded a number of videos which have pointers in their description/comments. DLC Trophy Pack 1 - Season 1 Vehicle Class: Super Hatches High Altitude 04:11.700 Track: Okutama Sprint - Mizu Mountain (point-to-point) Car: Audi S1 Quattro Concept Must be done in a Race because the track isn't available in Time Attack. Rolling starts don't work here for some reason. Recommended setup: leave all values in the middle Delta Time 01:38.000 Track: Shanghai - Waibaidu Way Car: Lancia Delta HF Integrale You're free to do this one in Time Attack. Shangai being a street circuit means you don't have to worry about being penalized for track limits. Recommended setup, with zero being the middle value Gear Ratio +2 Springs +2 Dampers +2 Anti-roll 0 Brake Bias -1 Fast for a Hatchback 01:52.600 Track: Havana - Paseo de Marti Car: MINI Hatch JCW Another street circuit.

LordRandom85 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yes, on all my tries I set up 5 laps races, and I got the objective on lap 2 or 3. There"ll be a small notification on the left of the sceen, and right after that, the trophy will pop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only one I had to use tuning for. If you make the gear ratio fully long to take advantage of the lengthy time at full throttle and then make both the springs and dampers soft so that you can ride the curbs effectively it might work for you...at least that is what worked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it another go later today. Don't want to leave that trophy undone since I've done the rest of them (bar from the Around the Globe one which I've been farming for the last month and I'm like 60% on the way to do it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only event giving me trouble is the Vulcan one, I’m almost one second slower than required time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will give you time to figure out how to keep your speed in certain sections and abuse the flashbacks if you have to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind people like to brag about how they had no trouble with stuff when in actuality they probably did. anyway this race is about feness make sure to not skid around the curves in the road and to actually slow down and take them without sliding. Learn to brake and accelerate through the curves. The race line should light up green the whole way around the turns and if it's red you are going to loose time. Eventually you will get the feel for it and before you know it you will beat the time. I actually tried for several hours on this one and I hit the wall on the opening curve the lap I beat it. I was about to restart race and kind of zoned out and next thing I knew I was hitting every turn. the last 3/4 lap was perfect and I knew I had it before crossing the line. Set time to 6 minutes so you have time for 3 full laps. Finish every race and at least you are racking up some mileage in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VukshaCage Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I just completed all the times, honestly, the hardest of the bunch for me was: A Wheely Good Time I got this one on 8th lap, was always loosing speed in mid section, on 180 curve. Everything else was for me doable in 1st or 2nd lap. Please note that I am racing for years (only/mostly gamepad) and the main point here with hatchbacks for really fast times (at least for me), was to use handbrake on 90 degree turns and get close to the barriers, as that way you are skimming time nicely. For A Wheely Good Time , my best suggestion is to go as wide as possible and break even a bit earlier so you could bullet yourself better, as otherwise I found myself, loosing just enough speed to be few tenths slower then set time. On last lap, i was 1second faster. Now back to FF VII, as I get so bored while grinding for platinum here (That's another point, all the 100% lists are messed up now, as they decided to release trophies just now, guess in next month or so it will be easier to reach top 10 spot for fastest achiever) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added that to the guide. 23 hours ago, KirekkusuPT said: I'm just missing the A Wheely Good Time For me it's the hardest by far, I'm missing the time by 2 seconds... 19 hours ago, JOHNTHEDESTROYR said: Literally can't do Fast for a Hatchback for the life of me.

It's a shame the game doesn't allow for ghost cars to be used. 22 hours ago, bartne said: Are you playing with a wheel? I do, i only tune the car when it spins out every time with little input. Base setup is fine in my opinion (medium AI). The ford gt40 was a nightmare, tuned it a bit and every assist at max. Barely won. Normally abs 1, tc 0, sc 0. I play with a pad. The basic middle-of-the-road setup is usually fine but I like to tinker with it so cars handle a bit better. And, yeah, no setup really helps me drive the GT40 fast; it's by far the most unstable car in the game. I think I just lowered the difficulty for those races after failing to come to grips with the car. 15 hours ago, steel6burgh said: Keep in mind people like to brag about how they had no trouble with stuff when in actuality they probably did. You're probably right, steel6burgh. I consider it easy relative to the fastest lap time you can possibly set on those courses, and for the fact racing lines, flashback etc. are allowed. The Gold trophies are definitely way harder than the Bronze, though. Thanks for the comments and added tips, all.

Djeheuty Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I’ll post my sector times for the “Wheelie good time” challenge as a reference: 1st sector: 24.3 (successful lap) 24.1 (personal best time) 2nd sector: 37.8 (best overall time in this sector) 3rd sector: 38.3 (successful lap) 38.1 (personal best time) Final successful time was 1.40.411. The key is the 2nd sector where in my successful attempt I shaved half a second from my previous best time. Then if you’re short a few tenths in final sector you can abuse rewinds. I had all aids to max and following setup: Gear ratio +2 , Springs -1, Dampers -1, anti-roll +2, Brake 0. Hope it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking corners carefully, gradually pressing the brake and feathering the accelerator, but my lap times were nearly 1.5 seconds slower than the trophy requires. The moment I started hard braking halfway through the dark red part of the racing line, my times dropped by nearly 2 seconds. My final time was 1:40.36. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
