Can someone please help me ! I am a mother driven insane by her Gran Turismo 3 child. He is trying to get the licences but like most children out there if they can't do it then its left up to the parents. I can't take sitting up one more night playing this game. I have seen the cheat list but have absolutely on idea where to enter the codes...........Can somebody please tell me so I can finally get some sleep..........I am a desperate woman !!

There are ways to cheat and get all the licenses and loads of money too. BUT is that really what you want to teach your kids. I have seen the results of handing everything to the kids on a silver plater, and its not pretty. They should be getting their own licenses or playing a different game.

I dunno, Ma'am, I have to agree with Supert10/Andrew. I grew up getting way too much handed to me (despite being poor, which is really odd). I'm 25 now and joining the USAF in large part to get a replacement for the tough-love parenting I never got. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against service, but I'd rather not have to admit that I'm joining because I disastrously unchallenged growing up.
Master a gold on one. I'd say braking, and the trick is to NOT slam on the brakes, but to gradually add more pressure to the brake button--the higher your speed, the less brakes you apply. As your speed drops, add an equivalent amount of brakes. Then just when you're thinking "won't this damn car stop?" slam your brakes and maybe E-brake for a quick halt. If you just slam the brakes (there's a big braking thread I learned this from, then applied it for 2-3 golds and much better times everywhere), your wheels will lock up and you will get less braking power from them. (You're more or less hydroplaning on a microscopic film of molten rubber--not safe at all!)
So master a gold. Show your kid how to get that gold. Let 'em know that at first you were nowhere near the gold, but each time you tried your time got a liiiittle closer. Since it's doable, and since Mum has showed them how, you now leave it in their hands. Encourage them, be confident in them, but let them do it. That's my advice. It seems a little bit uncaring--it requires the parent to assure them of the parent's confidence in them. The rush your kid'll get when they find out they actually can do something (especially something once thought impossible)... it's a great thing to witness, believe me. It's inspiring every time you see it.

Manicmom,
Please don't get the golds for your GT3 loving child. Instead, encourage he/she to keep trying. The first step is to just pass a test. After that is accomplished, then, strive for silver. Once you have reach the silver plateau, it is my opinion that you have shown competence in the particular test. Then, you are ready to crash through the gold barrier. If you have never done it before, the thrill of all gold on the licenses is quite the video game accomplishment. All gold on all the license tests, a place that I'm trying to get to, is an accomplish that is ABOVE getting 100 percent complete in the game IMHO.

It's actually very easy! I just neglect the kids and the house so I can concentrate on my racing 👍

I stay up all night just to get some peace to race, I've just recently finished my 80th gold on GT4 and I'm very proud of my acheivements even though it's just a game, it's a way of life for me now. I'm addicted and proud of it
manicmom.... my 2 boys 14 & 8 can get the golds on GT quite easily, you should tell your lad that an 8 year old is better than him, that will move him

i'm a father of one. one very insane 2 year old to be more precise. luckily he doesnt enjoy playing video games (but does enjoy watching them). however, when he's old enough, you can be damn sure he's going to be playing gran turismo 5 or 6 or whatever, and he will be doing it by himself. i've got my own save game to worry about.
