    Complete a race in Pro Career

    How to unlock Ultimate Challenge

    Pro Career will have the assists automatically set to Elite, so you will be doing everything manual like the formation laps, manual starts, manually changing gear, no traction control, manual pitting and realistic damage. You will have no HUD, no mini map, and you will be placed in cockpit view mode.

    For many, this would be a breaker and an extremely difficult trophy were it not for an easy exploit. For this, simply skip all the Practice sessions, then Qualifying. When the race starts try to get another driver to crash into the back of you which will force you to retire. This will count as 'completing' the race once the results screen comes up. Just don't get yourself disqualified. Credit goes to NoMedic and Darth_Krid for proving this.

    Note: The above method/exploit seems to have been patched out quietly with plenty of users saying it doesn't work anymore. The only way now is to just finish the race.

    If you want to try this legit, don't worry as you don't have to do it in one stint due to the new feature of saving in mid-session. Regarding the saving in mid-session, if you do crash make sure to quickly back out of the application otherwise it will overwrite the save.

    If the race leader has finished his race yet you are like 10 laps behind, this wont matter. You will have around 3 minutes to complete the following lap you're on, then the race will be finished, and the trophy should unlock (providing you weren't disqualified) once the game has finished saving.

    Few tips:

     

    • Don't do this all in one go, I would be highly against it. Do it in stints.
    • Choose any team, though you will probably want to choose a weaker team, and just concentrate on completing the race. If you choose a team like Manor Racing, for example, you will be placed near the back of the grid, so this way you can concentrate on your own race for those inexperienced.
    • Stay off the racing line as much as possible as the AI has been programmed to stay on it.
    • When being waved blue flags (telling you to get out of the way of front runners), use to look behind you as to where the other cars are on the track, so you can quickly get out of their way.
    • Changing gears is now your responsibility in Manual. To change up press and to change down press .
    • Only accelerate as soon as you are on the straight after exiting the corner otherwise you'll just spin out/spin your rears with no traction control.
    • SAVE - Try to save every 1-2 laps just in case the AI do wipe you out or you smack into a wall. Speaking of that, even the slightest of taps into the wall will cause ultimate damage.

  • If you can't drive on pro settings this is the video for you how to get the trophy without driving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV9kCI_B7Xg
  • The url does not work
  • You can just drive around at turtle pace (stay OFF the racing line, stick to the sides). Once the AI wins the race and after a countdown you'll get the trophy. You can't just park the car though, that will disqualify you.
  • This trophy is actually reasy easy. Drive slow stay out the way of everyone. And most inportant thing is to save every 5 laps or so. Then if u crash u can just close your application then re-open and carry on your pro career from mid session save. Long as you keep saving so u dont need to start the race again or from to far back.
  • So if I set it to 5 laps and drive a Manor Car as long as I finish the race the trophy will pop?
  • @#5 read the comments.
  • This can still be tricky though. Driving at turtle pace is a very good strategy, because if you´re unexperienced, over reving and missing gears will cause your engine to overheat and if it goes above 90 ºc it will blow. Just choose a wide track, like Monza or Yas Marina.
  • Nevermind the temperature, as long as it´s not higher than something like 120 it´s ok, 90 is perfectly fine. Engine failures are caused by bad shifting.
  • for me this is really hard. I got all the other trophies. I only miss this 1. anybody a good tip for me. I did try comment @#4 but my tires are really bad so I think I cant finnish the race. (I am in R21 and the AI in R33)
  • Trying to get this trophy using the ‘get a car to crash into you’ exploit.. I’m using the disk version offline with no patches installed. Can anbody confirm whether this will work using this method? Or am I just wasting my time? Been playing f1 games for years but never got the hang of the manual gearbox setting so I’ve no chance of getting the trophy legit :/
  • The way to cheese this is to qualify last in Australia. Then, don't move when the race starts. Eventually you'll get the stopped on track warning. Accelerate to 3-5 MPH, brake as soon as the warning goes off. Stay near the right barrier. When you get to the end, keep it in 8th gear and gently up around one lap. Then repeat.
  • @joerevs300 Can you explain your method more in detail?
