Conquer Gran Turismo 5's 'Hard One' challenge with this guide. Learn how to modify your Dodge Ram 1500, tune your transmission and differential, and strategies for both A-Spec and B-Spec races at Laguna Seca and Daytona.
Walkthrough
- 1Obtain a Pickup Truck: The Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Hemi Quad Cab '04 is recommended. This can be won by achieving Bronze in all International A License tests.
- 2Modify the Truck: Spend money on all available modifications to reach approximately 725hp.
- 3A-Spec Race - Laguna Seca: With the modified truck, you should be able to win this race without exceptional driving.
- 4A-Spec Race - Daytona: Your top speed may be insufficient. Adjust the following:
- Drivetrain Tab: Set the Torque Sensing Center Differential to Front "10" and Rear "90."
- 5Transmission Tab: Switch to the STANDARD TRANSMISSION. Alternatively, if using a customized transmission, set the maximum speed to around 190mph. The standard transmission allows for approximately 160mph at Daytona.
- 6B-Spec Race - Laguna Seca: Use the Standard Transmission and 4WD set to 10/90. Employ the General Driving Strategy. The AI driver may slide but will be fast enough to maintain a significant lead, especially through the Corkscrew.
- 7B-Spec Race - Daytona: Keep the same settings as Laguna Seca (Standard Transmission, 4WD 10/90). The AI driver should perform similarly to your A-Spec race, potentially with an even larger lead.
Tips
- The Torque Sensing Center Differential is rarely used elsewhere in the game.
- Ensure you keep pacing the B-Spec driver up when their condition drops below half.
