Which one is the carbon body color? Was it special to the prize car and I overlooked it?

And i thought the Lancia Stratos challenge was hard... i just can't figure out the key spots to pass the lotus.
Just watch the videos that have been posted. I recommend @TangoR34 video. I ran a similar 1:02.6xx lap (however I used aids!).This shows where you need to pass the vehicles if you want the gold.

Lol! A car key? Isn't that how the mob used to deliver "packages"?

1:03.421 after 1 million tries... 
Thank you guys for posting the videos and the explanations, you helped me a lot even if I've never had so much trouble on a seasonal so far. But quitting with silver is just impossible!
Must be the car. I like the Pagani Zonda road cars a lot, but the Huayra

I totally didn't even read that after I wrote it
. After doing this challenge, it seems that such a key would be of no real use, as different people will be faster/slower in each section. I gave up trying to pass that Lambo on the first left, and the second right, and passed it just before the big left turn...and still got a pretty easy gold. Guess I'm faster in the last sections than I am in the first ones.

I have managed to get myself to within pretty much exactly one second of the gold time. This one is tough. It seems that luck is what gets me passed the green Lotus, if i even get that far. I've also noticed the game will allow a minimal side contact with various cars...I totally didn't even read that after I wrote it

I feel your pain, I'm stuck at 1:03.503 & I can not shave the .004 off to save my life. It would appear if I want that car I'll just have to buy it.
Edit: I guess I needed to vent some. I managed to do it 1:02.857, certainly not going to set the world on fire.

I had trouble with it until I learned the trick. To me, it's about letting off the brake and coasting down that hill, passing the Lotus on the left in the process.

OMG...this one's sooooo hard on DS3, took me an hour-ish, TC +1, @ 1.03.0## I tried ASM, TC+2, wouldn't work.
The most difficult part IMO is to pass the Reventon cleanly and not overcook the very high speed right at the end of the long straight, once you pass the Enzo othere, just keep it clean and outbreak the Aventador.
I only managed to finished the lap twice, first time @ 1.03.6## and the second time I did it. LOL
Truly, practice makes gold
Oh, it also made me realize, A: Huayra accelerates really hard, B: Huayra understeers because of A (heavy thumb), C: Huayra can brake pretty well, D: Never floor the throttle on uneven road surface.
I chose the black carbon finish for the prize. I love that car although it gave me sore thumb in this challenge

Yeah mate, don't settle for just silver.
Don't brake too hard or too much as you approach the downhill esses section...brake lightly as you enter esses, then it's lifting off throttle to shave off speed, but keep the revs up by controlling the throttle...this keeps the car momentum up as you negotiate the esses all the way to the start of Conrod Straight...stick to the optimal racing line as much as possible where grip and traction is best, letting the car run, lifting off to slow down...lots of time is lost when wandering off the racing line when going downhill at Bathurst.
Hope these help...doing just enough to get a Gold time.

Thanks for the kind words. Maybe I was not clear, english is not my mother tongue, but I did get gold with 1:03.421. Just enough, as you mention.
But I'm sure your great videos and advice will help other players, thanks for posting.
Maybe part of my problem with this seasonal was fear. I was too nervous about hitting the walls and the other cars. As soon as I decided to calm down, breath, remember it's only a game, it became easier and I finally managed to gold it.
But your driving style is better than mine! 👍
Cheers!

Forgive me, but how do you make such awesome video's?

I really should have started trying this event sooner. PS3 keeps freezing! I've managed ONE run when I've reached the finish line and I was 0.3xx short of the Gold. Ugh... This is definitely the hardest even thus far. Why, oh why, did I wait so long to even try it? I'm going to be bummed if I come up short... 
EDIT: I did it!! It was only my 3rd pass over the finish line. My first was a silver medal time. I was 0.104s short of Gold on my 2nd pass and then on my 3rd pass over the finish line I posted a 1:03.094. I can live with that...It's Gold, baby!! 
Now, do not interpret this as meaning it only took me 3 tries to get Gold. Far, far from it.. Hah!
I crashed dozens of times. Most of the crashes were just trying to get past the very first car. Anyway, if anyone is interested here is how I did it. I'm sorry I don't have video (no capture device).
1) Pass Car #1 on the left
2) Pass Car #2 on he right (I don't have the guts to dive bomb thru the left side)
3) Pass Car #3 just after the kink. Essentially, I let him hit his brakes first and I shoot passed.
4) Pass Car #4 on the very last 90' left hand turn. Our cars actually rubbed, but I got my nose inside the corner first.
The best advice I can probably give you in this particular event it. Don't even try to go fast. Just let the car move along. Once you get passed Cars #1 & #2 then it just becomes a sprint to the finish line. Try to do a few runs where you get passed the first car and then just concentrate on how the suspension & tires hold the car together.

Cheers mate, sorry I mis-understood your post. Wise words with the calm down & breath advice...too much thinking has the habit of messing up a good lap.
Hi there mate, thanks, I am humbled by your comment
The following, in no particular order, contributes to my video making
- a very understanding, patient & loving girlfriend
- lots of restarts, practice, rinse & repeat
- a driving rig with wheel & pedals set
- Avermedia Live Gamer Portable video capture
- lots of practice
- a very loving, understanding & patient girlfriend
- love for Gran Turismo since GT1 on PS1
- a stubborn quest for the error-free clean lap
- inspiration from watching videos of other GT racers much much more awesome than my driving.
- lots of practice, practice, practice
- a very patient, loving & understanding girlfriend
Cheers, safe & Happy New Year to you.

Thanks for the reply. Your advice about how to manage downhill is so right. I used Bathurst as a test track yersterday to try a new car, and I realized that I know much better the driving line now.
EDIT: I did it!!
Bravo!

Wow this one was the hardest by far for me. I was very consistent getting low 1:04 times but it required some extra luck to finally get gold. Managed to pass the Ferrari on the esses and after that just kept very close to the Lamborghini to finish second with gold time.
Think that I did a total of 300km before getting gold

First, I think I'm pretty good at the GT series, and you make me look bad, so yes, great job there!
Second, I was meaning it literally, how do you make such a nice video and present it here?
1. Save replay on GT6 game
2. Download on a flash drive
3. Upload to...
4. Host on...
I'm a bit lost!
Being a complete newbie to gran turismo again, (last game i played was gt3) I was quite pleased to find myself winning this challenge haha. Thanks to this thread i decided to give it one more go to win this flashy car and watching those vids and the things you guys said helped me a lot so cheers guys

What's really gauling me is that I consistently pass the Reventon on the right, earlier than some of the people with sub 1.03 times and have still not got Gold and still seem to lag behind the yellow Enzo afterwards, with no obvious errors. So I'm struggling to see where I'm losing time. Best so far is 1:04:500. I will do it before the event expires or I will throw my controller away. Takes the p!ss that I have done the hard bit faster than some Gold winners here. This is the most frustrating thing I've ever done on any GT game. I can only think I'm losing time on the right hand turn after the long straight.
