    How to unlock So You Think You're Fast?

    There are plenty of ways to do this, but by far the easiest of ways (especially for the inexperienced) is to make the weather light rain, as doing it this way you don't need to bother with fuel stops and DRS (Drag Reduction System) is disabled. The best track for this is Monaco as it is so narrow, thus there is only the home straight + the tunnel where other cars can overtake you on, but if you get good traction out the corners, you should be fine for the race.

    Pick Mercedes as you'll be placed on the front row and thus start off with everyone behind you. Luckily, you can still use assists for this trophy; only the enemy AI difficulty has to be a certain setting. With it being Monaco and in the wet, it's highly recommended to at least turn damage off.

    For the easiest way to get this trophy, see the following tip from mwtbh:

     

    I was having a bit of trouble until I did this:

    Monaco in light rain. Firstly, you don't have to worry about DRS (it's disabled) and secondly, you don't have to worry about being overtaken during pit stops (there aren't any). Doing it this way means you don't have to worry about being fast, just concentrate on being defensive.

    As long as you can handle the conditions and get a good exit on the last corner (the pit straight was the only place the AI really tried to overtake me), it shouldn't be too much trouble.

  • I found this trophy easiest to get on Monaco. It's a 20 lap race but cause it's tight you can defend the whole race. Hardest part is timing your pit stop so too many cars don't get in front. I also turned damage off and used flashbacks if I made a mistake. Trophy still popped. Good luck!
  • Easy Mode: Monaco in light rain, that way there is no pit stop. Damage off. Choose no qualifying and select Lewis Hamilton so you'll start in first. Make sure rewinds are on. I would recommend turning traction on but thats up to you. I'm not the best (or even good) at F1 and completed first try like this. Good Luck and enjoy.
  • Tried 2 times now. Both tries I had to start on second position. Once with Hamilton and once with Rosberg. I think they updated the race.....
  • Storm is better than Light Rain imho, because IA always have "anti-block brake" disabled, if you enabled that help you can take all corner faster than others, they brake a lot in every corner. I won that trophy at the first try with storm, they never attempted to overtakes me. Whatever watch out for the tunnel, road in the tunnel is dry so when you brake at the shikane there is a lot of aquaplaning because wet tyres need a lot of water for gain the best grip. http://i64.tinypic.com/2z6t5l1.jpg
  • Monaco, 20 laps, light rain which means no pit stops or DRS. I had all assists on and brake assist on low. Also used a wet car setup from the Codemasters site. I'm not a good player and I won by 6+ seconds. If you mess up a turn just use your flashbacks. With damage disabled you can also ruin along walks and gain major time in two of the turns. Good luck!
