Dexter90 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm beating all times but I just get bronze. Why? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsp33d1987 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have got the Timed to Perfection trophy now i found out what i were doing wrong, With PS3 and 360 versions of the game you tap DRS and then when you brake it turns it off but with the PS Vita version you actually have to hold down the DRS button which is actually stupid to be honest as you shouldn't have to, So i have beat all tracks without trouble now after finding out about DRS. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/971/Lightsp33d1987.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter90 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 what is DRS? btw... I set up the record on the lap, but i just got bronze medal, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsp33d1987 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 DRS = Drag Reduction System means on the straights hold the DRS button down and you will gain extra speed, Also for the times you need to beat the times set in the top left the top one is your best time the one below will be the time needed for either bronze, silver or gold depending how quick you were the lap before also once your time is better than you need to beat it means you have done well enough for gold medal. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/971/Lightsp33d1987.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaZiN cdn Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Can someone give me any tips to do these? I have a gold medal on 2 tracks and I can't seem to get past bronze or silver on the others, I hold down the square button (I'm using control setup 'B') on the straightaways, but I'm always a couple seconds off the gold time. This is starting to get a little maddening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is starting to get a little maddening First thing never use default settings as they seem a little slow make sure you always have 100% oversteer and always knock about 20-30% off the speed, So if say Silverstone default is 100% speed make it about 70% and that will give you quicker acceleration but lower top speed. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/971/Lightsp33d1987.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKO2007 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've tried now for days and I've only got gold on 10 of the 19 tracks I'm a good 2.5 seconds off on the 9 tracks I've tried changing the set up of the car and still not making any difference this trophy will stop me from getting platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKO2007 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm using DRS on every straight and also I've tried changing when I use kers if i can't get a good lap time I try using it in different places, I've been able to do 2 more tracks the ones I can't get gold on are Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, Montreal, Silverstone, Spa, Suzuka and Yas Marina I just can't get the balance of the car right for these tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKO2007 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Can anyone who has this trophy remember there car set up as I tried 40 laps now on Spa with different set up tried changing aerodynamics, balance, gears, suspension even tried changing Tyre pressures and nothing works I always use DRS and Kers and no matter what I'm always at least 2 seconds off gold I need to complete 7 more tracks its killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsp33d1987 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 On Spa all i change is oversteer to 100% which i did for all tracks and then speed to 71% i beat the gold time by a full second. http://gamercards.exophase.com/174712.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only find speed with these and what driver did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsp33d1987 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 When you say speed was it Aerodynamics or Gears? I can only find speed with these and what driver did you use? I used Lewis Hamilton for all time trials and i meant gears on the first page where it says acceleration at the left and top speed at the right, The max i used on any track was 73% and Monaco and Singapore i used 7% and oversteer at 100% on all tracks so apart from gears and oversteer i didn't change any other settings hope this helps a bit. http://gamercards.exophase.com/174712.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKO2007 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 OK thanks for the tips I've been using Vettel on all time trials I'll change driver, changing the set up does help me go faster but I think its the way I'm driving I also noticed I was over using DRS hopefully ill be able to do them soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty87 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 When I was doing this trophy I found that steering assist was extremely useful. Having that turned on, plus changing the gears more towards acceleration as suggested by Lightspeed I managed to do the majority of time trials in 1 lap by a couple of seconds or more. The only tracks that I struggled on were Istanbul, Suzuka and Yas Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGaz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hi guys, I'm guessing you were doing these times with all driver aids off? (if so I'll pass on the plat). If its with aids on I'll give it a blast. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novitec Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi guys, I'm guessing you were doing these times with all driver aids off? (if so I'll pass on the plat). If its with aids on I'll give it a blast. Thanks you can do it with driving aids on, but there isn't really a big difference in driving with driver aids on or off. I'am only a second a lap faster with driving aids on. The times are rather easy to beat, on some tracks I am 10 seconds faster then the gold time.

SupraGaz Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Cheers for that. I'm struggling on the first course at the minute 1.2 seconds off and can't seem to find anywhere to shave some more off. Guess practice makes perfect and I'll keep hammering it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycemorr Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 im having trouble with this as well hum and ive used hamilton and vettel at the recommended settings does this have some thing to do with me being on automatic if so let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
