Ultimate Challenge Trophy in F1 2016
Ultimate Challenge
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.
