Arrghh I done it again, been trying to get all my medals up to gold as I go through the challenges now on PGR3, last night I sat for an hour and half playing Horseguards championship 1, cone challenge (I am totall Carp at cone challenges BTW) then by miracle I cracked it, got a 4710k out of a needed 4700k for the gold medal :D then as the leaderboard score popped up I realise I wasnt logged in so it doesnt count :( ,, Thing is this is about the third time its happened ive set auto login so thought i was safe,, seems not.

Ive only got 5 cars at the mo and been trying the cone challenges with the F50gt but find it really hard and it slides all over the place :( , can anyone recommend a better suited car for the cones?? also how do you do controlled ebrake slides?? Ive been hitting e brake while turning which slides me but then I just go out of controll and smack the next set of cones, do I need to kill the gas or apply the full brake after I start a slide?? Watching the replays of leaderboards they make the slides look so easy :confused:
 
I was using the RUF Turbo as this was my car of choice for all the other challenges, but I think it is just too quick. The F50GT certainly is if you are struggling with it. You do not need to go that quick.

I found that the Ultima GTR was fantastic for the challenges. It has great acceleration to boost you to the next cone in time if you do end up going quite slow, it is also very controllable and stable and a little tweak of the handbrake will bring the back end out nicely, with enough power to create a slide on demand. And is does not end up going insanely fast!!

See this thread which has lots of tips:

Good luck :)
 
supercar concept is good for the cones! I used that or ultima and dont bother going for gold, u may as well keep going for platinums.
 
Get the kudos together for the RUF concept and try using that for the cone challenges...I struggled with the cone challenges at first, but with the RUF concept and liberal handbrake use I did them all up to platinum level in about an hour.

I don't know how you couldn't notice you weren't logged in?
Were you not aware it wasn't showing you the medals you earned?



I was logged in to the game profile so had all my medals showing but seems I was not connected to live for some reason??..after i got gold I was shown the overal rankings board for that challenge and noticed I wasnt connected to live, I pressed connect to live and it threw me out of the game with a message,'' sorry game profile has changed'' and I had to sign in again, when I did my gold was back to silver? as i said its happened a few times now???


Also thanks Mark66 :D just done it with the ultima, scraped 4737k, pheww, thanks.

Dont really know why I was trying with the F50, I let the boy have a play the other week (3 years old) and when I came back he had bought 4 cars, the F50 one of them, up till then I was trying to get as far as I could with only the GTR but seeing as I had it now I changed to the F50, should really get around to setting him his own profile, he also managed to loose most of my gear and money in Oblivion the other day, the little *****lol
