How to unlock the Do it Yourself achievement in F1 2011 - Definitive Guide

Easy way ... do it in splitscreen mode with second controller and no AI ... it works.
You can also combine this achievement with "Glancing Blow" and "Car Control". All three can be unlocked in splitscreen ... in one race.

This is a lot easier than it sounds if you're someone who's used to playing with automatic gears. You can have the rest of the assists on during the race (which makes this immensely easier). Just make sure you still have the gears set to Manual Sequential. The default controller settings have the gear shifts to the A button (gear up) and the X button (gear down). Make sure you have the rev limiter showing on your HUD and when you see all of the lights lit up (or close to it), hit the A button to go up a gear. If there aren't any lights, it might be a good idea to hit the X button and gear down.

If you know nothing about racing, it's important to note that you want to be in a lower gear when you're going slower (such as going into turns), and a higher gear when you're going faster (such as on a straightaway). For tight turns, you'll usually want to be in first or second gear. For more open turns, you can usually get away with third or fourth gear. On the straights, just gear up as you see the rev limiter rising. When you start going into a turn, make sure you gear down to an appropriate level.

Racing in a Long or Short Race Weekend makes this much easier because you can run the Qualifying round with automatic gear on, qualify for pole position (first place), and then switch to manual gears before the race begins.

If you play with manual gears normally then this trophy should be a breeze and you'll get it the first race you win. If you are one of the many who play using automatic it will be a little bit more complicated. To make this trophy easy, from the main menu select Grand Prix. Now take a fast car like Red Bull. Doesn't matter if you are Vettel or Webber for this. Now, in the settings make sure you do race only, set the distance to 1 lap, weather to clear (for ease) and go into the difficulty level. Change the gearbox to manual sequential and keep all the other settings on the default easy stuff. Now for the track select Monza which has very few corners making it easier.

You will start the race in 5th or 6th. To get up to 1st just keep accelerating as you get to the first chicane. The brake assist will slow you down, just push your way past everyone (penalties are reduced and damage off so you should get a warning at worst). Once you get to 1st place just keep going, you need not worry about braking, so just concentrate on getting into lower gears in the corners so you can accelerate properly after it. Don't forget to use your KERS in the straight.

You will also automatically earn this trophy when going for Car Control.

Choose Grand Prix from the main menu and change the difficulty to easy. Once you've changed it to easy, switch the gears from automatic to manual and turn off brake assist (within the same screen). By default, shifts up a gear and shifts down. Listen to the engine and keep an eye on the rev limiter, they're both good indicators of when to shift gears. Simply finish the race in first position to unlock the achievement.

Note: This can be boosted in online multiplayer or splitscreen mode.
