Tips to get gold on A-8?

This Ferrari is like it's handling on ice!

Have all aids off, maybe thats why?

Find it near on impossible to get top 8 let alone all of them!

Thanks in advance.

It is unbelievably hard to pass all 15 cars in one lap. If your struggling, turn the physics down. I used no TC. You've just got to be really aggressive with the other cars and on a few corners lean on them. The link below is a video of pretty much how I did it (I don't think you can do it any other way). Just persevere and be aggressive.

Re: Tips to get gold on A-8?

Ok, thanks madmurdock

Managed to get 4th last night but will keep trying obviously.

Won't let a game beat me lol only got it two days ago and need that one gold.

Online is good but annoying when they ram you when they come from behind.

Ok, that last statement didn't sound good lol

You're right it sounded wrong.

Online is *****. I hope this is one area in GT5 that is fixed.

Regarding the challenge. You'll find a good lap will suddenly come together and you'll be first.

Lol yeah hope they do improve it.

If not then that's very bad news and I doubt I will play online at all.

Yeah I'm sure I'll get there in the end, I thought this game was average at best when I first got it. Reason being is that I got the game from a popular aution site which turnt out to be a Japanese version!

The guy failed to mention obviously, so all the aids etc were on so it didn't handle that great and I couldn't 'throw' the car around as I would of liked to.

But since having the English one I can say that I am very impressed with the game and wipes the floor with PGR etc on the Xbox 360 which is where I recently came from.

Re: Tips to get gold on A-8?

It's in my opinion currently the best driving game on a console. I'm not including online in that statement. I'm still confident GT5 won't be a disappoint.
