Dream Race - Spec B

[backpackerd00d]

Can anyone tell me if the Dream Race trophy can be done on B-Spec? The trophy guide suggests a specific race (can't recall off the top of my head) but I'm wondering if you actually have to control the car yourself, or if a driver can do it for you?

It doesn't matter. A-spec or B-spec, you get the trophy

If you would prefer to get it done the easy way i'd recommend doing it through A-Spec. B-Spec is definitely possible but those races can be hard with the Jaguar, im not sure how the Ford or the Ferrari handle it.

This is my first foray into racing games, so it'll take me a while to get to a sufficient standard to venture into A-Spec whilst on a DS3.

You've certainly chosen a tough game to be your first racing game!

You should have seen back in the day... I was playing need for speed underground on my big brothers PS2. I only knew about the accelerator. Fuck braking just go straight and hope it can take a 90 degree corner at 250 km/h... Never won a single race

Start with the license tests and the Sunday Cup races and work your way up. "A sufficient standard" is pretty low, especially the first batch or two of races. The driving line helps a lot with finding corner speeds and braking points. It's not always right, but it's a good first approximation most of the time.

i have to say this was my approach to racing games too, until i got to GT5. GT5 also tought me that the fastest way around a corner generally isn't powersliding, something i thought was very efficient from my need for speed and burnout days.
