I don't care about being given the credit, as long as you don't claim them as your own, there's no problems by me.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!! Gymkhana Sprint 3 is killing me! It's the only f...ing challenge I need to pass to plat this game, and I just can't do it! The bobsleigh challenge was a 6 in difficulty and I consider Sprint 3 an 8 in difficulty.... I've checked all the youtube vids , but still I'm .3 behind.... Any tips?? Changing the default settings maybe? Any tips for vehicle setup?

Edit: NVM, just nailed it on my 2nd try today with 0:51.367

.NIZZULIVE's You-Tube-video's were the most helpful to me in the DC Challenges.

I want something nice and neat, where you can find the specific challenge that you're looking for.

You could always post the videos in SPOILER tags, stays neat but still embeds it in the post. I find it a lot easier when they're embedded because it's right there for me without opening other tabs and windows.

Oh my giddy aunt Mable. I didn't think it was possible for me to platinum the drift tutorial at first. It must have taken me over 3 hours to do that.

Tricksteer off, manual, no changes to vehicle setup.

Watching all the vids on youtube I didn't get how they maintained such a high speed through the corners, I think I was a bit slower than them.

Bascially, for someone who's struggling, I used handbrake only and didn't take my finger off accerlerator once. I think the trick was to turn into, say, a left hander quite steeply with handbrake, but once you've turned in you then need to turn the wheel in the opposite direction for a bit, in this case, right, until you even out, this is as you're passing through the second gate each time. If you've made a slight mistake and have gone too far out then you may need a little press of the handbrake again but only inbetween the 2nd and 3rd gate. The main problem I had was keeping momentum and staying sideways through gates 2 and 3, I'd always have to do two sets of drifts which made me go too slowly, but the opposite steering wheel idea sorted that out eventually.

I would say that flashback is quite hard to use on this challenge, as when you get out of the flow of drifting, it's quite hard to jump straight back into it.

That was HARD.

Thanks for the guide really helped wth the drift tutorial for me so thanks and if anyone else is struggling the key is to not use the brake hardly at all and just use when needed
