Easy "Challenges" that are hard on paper

[iluvgt4]

My answer to this was the Graduation Test in Super License. I had to get in an old Benz and the 'Ring for a spin. I don't really get used to or memorize tracks. When I have to do a certain part of a certain track, I just do. The first time I tried this test, got a bronze. Saved the replay (don't have it with me though)

This might be better suited over in the license thread. And I have yet to figure out your answer. Everybody gets the same car etc.

do you mean... like, something that looks hard when you are told what to do... but then you finnd it supprisingly easy??

 

[iluvgt4]

Yes. The "challenge" looks hard but was gotten through fairly easily.

To be honest you can't really judge the difficulty by the bronze times as in many cases they can be achieved by simply driving without any serious mistakes. They aren't meant to be hard, or challenges at all - the real challenge is in the gold times. For an easy gold I'd nominate the S-14 test as a good driver can shave five seconds off the gold time without breaking a serious sweat.

Most of the license tests that require full-course driving (following the GT-R pace car) are often easier than they look at first. Ironically, the very first one...B5 I think it is (Mini at Tsukuba) is one of the toughest to gold, at least when I was new to GT4. But alot of the others...PT Curser at Infineon, Alfa Romeo GTA at Citta d'Aria, Mazda at Trial Mountain, Peugeot at Costa di Amalfi, Citroen C3 at Laguna Seca etc, are often walkovers. I can gold any of them on my first try usually (without practice) even if I haven't done them in awhile. Not to brag. I think there's a test at Ice Arena and Chamonix, too. Those seem like they'll be tough, but they were easy golds if I remember correct.

The thing is, all it takes is a thorough knowledge of the full course. Every corner, kink, and curve. Where to brake (reasonably), where to turn-in, etc.

GODDAMMIT EVEN READING IT MAKES ME ANGRY. Haven't tried it in months but the pain is still there. It's as hard to get gold as some of the Domestic-A licenses.

By far , the easyest Licence test in GT4 :

A2
S Cornering - Lotus Elise 111R - Highspeed Ring

I remember this / similar one in a RWD car being allways one of the easyest tests in any GT.

The Mini-Tsukuba was really hard.
