Conquer the notoriously difficult '-HARD ONE- (6)' challenge in Gran Turismo 5. Get Gold with expert tips on car control, braking, and track positioning for the Indy track.
Walkthrough
- 1Preparation: In the driving options, set Traction Control to "1."
- 2Turn 1 Strategy: When the challenge starts, focus on keeping the car on the line without steering initially, even if you go into the grass. As you approach the small pavement outcropping on the right, turn left sharply and release the accelerator. Tap the brakes twice: once at the beginning and once about halfway through the turn. The goal is to enter Turn 1 at 55-57 mph, with only your back right tire on the track. Aim to be as far left as possible coming out of Turn 1.
- 3Turn 2 Strategy: Accelerate briefly, then get the car as close to the left driving line as possible. Mash the brakes and begin turning right for Turn 2. Start slightly wide and gradually move closer to the turn's apex towards the end to set up for Turn 3.
- 4Turn 3 Strategy: You can enter the grass on this turn. Allow your speed to drop to between 33-36 mph before accelerating towards the finish line.
Tips
- The time limit is incredibly tight; a difference of one-thousandth of a second is significant.
- If you struggle, aim for a Silver medal first and return later when you have more practice and are closer to achieving Platinum.
- Consistent practice can yield improvements of about 0.1 seconds per run.
