Crazy-TrainZ28 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm 2 trophies from plat & this Invitational race is kickin my ass!!! Theres 2 pins & 1 paint scheme & i cant get them. If anyone has any suggestions on car set up or anything i would greatly appreciate it. Any tips on Solo Thunder Infineon would also be cool. I need that too. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyInfantryVet Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I was having troubles with the Phoenix one to. I finally got it after a bunch of tries, sore ass fingers and causes the wife and kids to vacate the living room for some time. All I can tell you on it is.... Turns 1 and 2 tap the brakes a little coming in and then you can keep the hammer down threw the dog leg and 3 and 4 you have to ease in and stick to the bottom then hammer the throttle off the turn. I have done all the racing in this game without touching anything on set-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DALEshakeNbakeJR Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 the infineon one took A LOT of reps to get. i used the rookie assists with one adjustment on the regular set-up, i adjusted the top speed/accerating. i moved in more towards the acceralting, i think around 20 or 22. that one you have to have patience on. the phoenix gauntlet took some time too, mainly because if you take a corner badly and theres an AI behind you, they'll wreck you in most causes. you don't need to win either of the segments, just finish as high as you can in each.

Crazy-TrainZ28 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Man this is eatin me alive.... i cant get it. the AI wont let me get a lap fast enough. even on 2 or 3 straight perfect laps i cant get a good enough time...WTF lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellSpawn137 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Trust me Just beat them after about 46 tries. The Key is Patience and something to take your anger out on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGT83 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i finished 7th and 17th and won the invitational by 5 pts. took me 3 tries which i'm upset with myself on. just keep trying and you'll get it. i was very aggressive getting into turns and passing as many cars as i could without ruining my turns.

roushmartin6 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I got this one my first try somehow. The one that I had to repeat a few times was the fast lap at Infineon and drafting Tony Stewart at Pocono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascargo19 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 i just did it by going backwards and hitting everyone on the frontstrech, causing them to get into a huge pile-up that blocks the track. i then go forward and go through pit road. If you go in after the cone (near the yellow things) you can drive through pit road under your own power and go through faster. becareful though, some of the cars will flip over the pitwall this can be hard to get the same wreck two races in a row, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODEx_Vip3r Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 i got 8th and 15th on the phoenix one....the hard one for me was the Pocono one where i had to catch Tony Stewart....i ended up just saying fuck it and cut the corner and t-boned him then waited till he got going and drafted him!

If your having trouble let them get to the tail end of your lap (So your almost down a lap) Then one by one let them pass and you duck in behind them to catch their draft for a few seconds and grab the coin.
