The Sebastian Vettel X Challenge is a hidden special event in Gran Turismo 5 which is unlocked upon reaching Level 30 in either A- or B-Spec. On completion of this event a bronze trophy will be unlocked on the PS3 acknowledging the completion. There is an introduction when you first select the event narrated by an avatar of Sebastian Vettel giving an overview of the Red Bull X2010, the car in which you have to complete the event.
Requirements[]
- A-Spec Level 30
- B-Spec Level 30
The Events and The Format[]
The Sebastian Vettel X Challenge as said earlier consists of three events, however this is like no other event in GT5, as the events start from the pit lane basically after the end of a pitstop. You have to do the outlap and one more lap in the designated time which is very quick. You have to drive 2 flawless laps to even get the basic pass and there is no room for any mistakes as in a split second the X2010 can throw you completely off the track. In each event, a ghost image sets off approximately 2 seconds ahead. The actual time for the ghost car is a silver medal time. It is possible to not have to pass the ghost in order to obtain a gold medal.

Trivia[]
- Audio cue files reveal that one of the challenges were meant to be set in Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, a track that would appear in Spec II (version 2.00) as a paid DLC. These files also suggest a removed introductory challenge where the player drives around a track with "two long straights and two corners", possibly Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway, which is a DLC track featured in version 2.06.[1]
- The room where the Red Bull X2010s are being prepared in the introductory cutscene was later reused for "work complete" screen, as well as the Pit Service background scene, in Gran Turismo 6's GT Auto.
