IA-1
Cone Slalom 2
Special Stage Route X
Laps: Section
Car: NSX Type R '02
Target Times:
Gold: 17.800
Silver: 18.500
Bronze: 23.000
Tip: Man, I can't stand the cones!!! They are way too sensitive. I honestly think the have a huge invisible force field around each and every one of them. Biggest challenge is trying to keep the rear of the car under control. Consistent throttle or tapping the gas button is the way to go.
IA-2
Turning While Braking
Ascari Full Track
Laps: Section
Car: Corvette Stingray (C7) '14
Target Times:
Gold: 22.800
Silver: 23.500
Bronze: 27.000
Tip: This car is a silent beast. For the most part, it's easy to keep it in check, but don't let it fool you. Accelerating out of low speed turns can hurt. Speed up through the first section and swing towards the cones on the left side. As soon as you get up to them, brake hard while turning into the corner. Try to set yourself up with the straightest line coming up and through the tight chicane. Careful on exit as the edge of the track can come up pretty quick.
IA-3
Dealing with Extreme Inclines
Matterhorn Dristelen
Laps: Section
Car: C63 AMG '08
Target Times:
Gold: 22.000
Silver: 22.800
Bronze: 25.500
Tip: Accelerate up the hill and swing to the right side of the track after the little left hand jog. Hit the brakes, and only turn in a little, when you pass over the shadow on the track from the 50m sign. (Last shadow) Swing wide into the turn and don't cut right down to the apex. This turn is sharp and high banking, so spinning out on acceleration is easily done, unless you put in as little steering input as needed. Maintain control as the tail happy Merc hits the crest on the next right hander. The cones on the right helps give you a guide on where the track is over the blind hill.
IA-4
Driving in the Wet 1
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Laps: Section
Car: GT-R Black edition '12
Target Times:
Gold: 38.500
Silver: 40.000
Bronze: 44.000
Tip: For this test I decided to try setting the ABS to 0, and it took quite a bit of getting used to. Smooth braking and acceleration is needed. You will look slow, and it's easy to get impatient and want to get out of the corners as fast as possible, but easy on the throttle and don't lock up the brakes! There might be some trial and error on your braking and turning in marks, but after a few attempts, you should easily get the gold. (Update: I did this test again on my childrens account with ABS 1 and beat my original time...guess I should take my own advice and be patient!)
IA-5
Driving in the Wet 2
Suzuka Circuit
Laps: Section
Car: 458 Italia '09
Target Times:
Gold: 29.500
Silver: 32.000
Bronze: 36.000
Tip: The first turn is kinda blind, but it's of huge importance to get it right as it sets you up through the rest of the chicanes. Easy throttle and very little braking (if any) and you'll be through there pretty quick. When approaching the left hander at the top of the hill, I found alot of speed from swinging in wide, waiting on the front of the car to catch grip, and accelerating through the rest of the corner. The rear grip will be there....if you wait until the car is planted.
IA-1 is not a good test for me...none of the rally or slalom ones are. Here's a sad fact, I completed these tests on my kids' account as well, and I beat my time by a lot on theirs.
You'll have to keep me up to date. Leaving in 2 days.
I was going through the Super license today, but only got to do the first one...had to pack
Yes, it's been quite some time since starting this thread and I've wanted to be done with the walkthrough portion by now, but with working out of the country; kinda hurt my time line. That and you can imagine the honey-do list I have after being gone for weeks at a time. But I've got 2 months off before the next stage, so GT6 will be getting a workout!
