F1 2017

This is done in Career Mode. During free practice, when you are in the paddock, you can select Practice Programmes to obtain Upgrade Points. This is the same routine as in the Hard work pays off trophy, except this time you have to master the programme scoring enough points to get a perfect result. Here's an overview of the different programmes and how to beat them:

• Track Acclimatisation - You need to complete a round driving the perfect line. You do this by driving through the gates that are projected on the track and you will be allocated points not only by driving through them but also for going through them at the right speed. If the gate turns red after passing it, it means you have missed it. For a good pass, it turns green and if done at the right speed too it will turn purple to indicate you have done it perfectly. To get a 'perfect' on this test, you have to pass through virtually every gate in a perfect way. You can have a few 'green' ones but try to perfect almost all of them. Remember you can make use of replays for this if you failed one.
   
• Tyre Management - The objective of this programme is to prevent tyre wear. To do this you need to be easy on the throttle and moreover, easy on the brakes. Try to coast through the corners as much as possible by letting go off the gas before the normal braking point and simply steer through the bend without braking. There is a time constraint but since this is very generous, you can take your time and coast through most corners without braking hardly at all and easily complete this.
   
• Fuel Saving - This objective is to save fuel and is in practice not so different from the tyre management. To get a perfect on this objective let go off your gas way before the normal braking points and be easy on the throttle while accelerating to save lots of fuel. The time constraint feels a bit tighter on this one than it does with tyre management but you should still be able to do this applying the same tactics.
   
• Qualifying Pace – Simply drive as fast as you can for this objective. Luckily, the projected time isn't very hard to achieve so you won't have any difficulties completing this.
   
• Racing Strategy – Again for this objective simply drive as fast as you can. If you complete 3 laps within the projected time, you will get a 'perfect' in this programme.
