Platinum DC Challenges - Guides

[Maka]

Anyone is free to link to this in guides or whatever. Let me know if you find this helpful! (And yes the linked videos are on xbox, but it's the same game on both system, and I dont mention system specific controls.)

Platinum Performance
Achieve Platinum medals in all of the DC Challenges

This is a list of all the DC Challenges, and each challenge is linked to a YouTube video of that challenge completed on Platinum, with tips and tricks on completing them easily. I recommend leaving the challenges for last when you have the most experience with the game, allowing you to pass many of them in only a few tries, without much frustration. All videos use default set-up, so you will not need to tune your car, although it may help in certain cases. Good Luck!

You can also visit THIS YouTube playlist that lists all DC Challenges in alphabetical order.

This is from the post:
"All videos use default set-up, so you will not need to tune your car, although it may help in certain cases."

I used only default set-ups because I didn't want to make things more confusing for achievement hunters than they already are.

But to answer your question(s) directly, abs shouldn't make a difference in any of the tutorials, although I would suggest keeping it on. Tricksteer, I would also keep on, although it only really helps with donuts/spins.

Maka your youtube guides are superb and spot-on, thank you very much for putting all of this together, these are the answers I have been seeking for the past couple of weeks.

For the drift tutorial, I did tricksteer and abs off, custom vehicle setup (less downforce, more differential, more brake bias, stiffer suspension etc) and I switched from automatic to manual. All you have to do is shift up to second gear right at the start and keep it there for the whole run (this helps you maintain a good speed, not too fast and not too slow).

I did that setup and got the challenge after 3 or 4 attempts. Before used this setup, I tried for hours but could just not do it.

Great idea, this will be helpful to many people, but why don't you embed the videos?

I don't want to embed 20+ videos, because it look stupid.

I want something nice and neat, where you can find the specific challenge that you're looking for. If more people came here, and said they don't like the hyperlinks, and want it all embedded, I can always change it.

As for Drift, you can do it normally, or change your set-up. I wanted my videos all on default set-ups, so that's what I did.
