Hi, my best time right now is 1'27:900 and I cant get gold for some reason. I've watched the demo about a dozen times but I still dont see what I'm doing wrong. I'm thinking maybe it has to do with that last stretch where you have to tap the breaks, turn right and accelerate a little. Any advice? Thanks.
How do you get gold on license test B-5?

don't ever brake as early as the pace car, stay right behind him on the straights for the draft, and trail brake the hell out of the mini - that's what helped me.

trail braking is when you brake (a little) WHILE turning, instead of braking when the car is going in a straight line before the turn. It shifts the weight of the car foreward giving more traction to your front tires and less to the rears. This helps to turn a car that likes to understeer.

yeah i was right on his tail the whole time rammed him once the i failed my friend passed that test for me.

You better learn because the whole IB licence section focuses on trail braking. If you wanna be good you gotta learn it. In IB-1's description they tell you about trail braking. It's fun for all ages!
As far as golding B1, try to apply the throttle gently out of the corners, if you go full throtttle it 1) Upsets the car's balance, 2) Takes all the weight off of the front wheels, 3) Activates the ASM (the little '!' light at the bottom left of the dash). If the ASM is activating, it's slowing you down. Sometimes you can gently apply throttle and not trigger the ASM, where if you go full throttle it goes nuts. My first session got me a 1:26.920 on B5. Keep at it and you'll get it.👍

You'll have to leave your nuts not only on Tsukuba, but on the most of new tracks (if you didn't import Prologue to learn them earlier), as well on some olds due to new physics.
Tsukuba just looks easy, but for getting golds you have to mantain very high average speed trough corners, and try to cope first turn very quick, the "S" middle-section, last turn and most importamant - the final curve which has to be passed with minimum loss of speed.
Watch the pace-car and try harder

That's how I blazed through GT1 and GT2 was trail braking (holding gas and hitting the brakes through every turn).. then for most of GT3 i'd actually left throttle completely to brake.. was more life like.. of course using the DFP and pedals, you can't really trail brake anymore... atleast not without some fancy footwork.

I got gold last night and I notice 3 things that I have been doing wrong before I got it:
- amount of brake I used. I always brake more than I needed
- throttle control, WOT is "useless" if front tries are fighting for traction between acceleration and steering at the same time.
- use trail brake (as mentioned above) is right. underpowered FF car. Kinda have to "dive" into the corner then brake.

No, you can't.
And the line only appears in B and A, not the internationals.

Funny...that's what I've been doing ever since I started playing GT3...Just wish I could do it in my 'real' car!
I'm just so much better with the wheel.

The last hairpin is very important, in an underpowered car especially, so make sure you late apex it a bit and use the whole track, rumble to rumble. You have to have a good exit speed because any mistakes are amplified the whole length of the straight. Maybe that'll help. Just work on the exit speed on all the corners, just don't accelerate apruptly and start to power oversteer.
EDIT: If you're using the DS2, it will probably be a bit harder, because cars like this need finesse. Good luck.👍
Yeah I've been doing it the last few hours and its definetly that last hairpin. I dont understand what you mean by late apex it, could you go into a little bit more explanation? It looks like to me that after you hit 81 mph you turn into it, break, then tap the accelrator a little till you get about 69 mph and then floor it and turn. Sorry, i'm not a big car junkie.CFM

Brake later and deeper into the turn and stay to the left a bit longer before you turn so that you touch the rumble strip more towards the end of the turn rather than exactly in the middle, since this corner is misshapen and not perfectly round. He're a little pice I found on Google, just ignore the word drift on it.
You can start accelerating earlier this way instead of fighting not to run off the road on exit.

Just did it with the DS2, also, take a look at the demo and compare that to you "ghost", you could make through the first turn significantly faster than the demo run. Try and see if you can improve it there.
<- who out run the the demo car @ turn 1 but still net the same result as the demo. I sucked @ the hairpin too

Ugh I still can't get this. I'm only off 235 milliseconds but that was a fluke and everytime I try to do what I did before it just doesnt end up working out. Where exactly do I want to start turning right? I usually just hang left till the trees shadow ends then start to turn and then break but I can never seem to hit that rumble on the right side. I'm so tired right now I'm going to try tomorrow hopefully with better luck.
