Challenges (licence, mission and track) are much more difficult than in previous games. For example, in GT5 you used to have only a few really difficult events (Grand Tour Eiger, Grand Tour Toscana and of course the Vettel Challenge) but GT7 is in a completely different ballpark. IA-10, S-1, S-7, S-10, Sarthe Challenge, Laguna Seca and of course Nurburgring - and many more, really the difficulty has went up. Which for me is good, however for less skilled players golds will be unobtainable.
this game just made me break my controller.

I genuinely related to TS until recently. The game really is on a another level compared to its predecessors when playing with controller. I crashed waaaaaay more in GT7 than I've done in the other games. The hate was strong with this one 
However I've managed to get more and more golds in various events because of commiting to practice and STAYING CALM. Driving a car at great speeds over a track is like a dance. You have to be elegant and get into the flow. If you approach your races accordingly, the golds will follow.

That's why there exists a bronze, silver and gold times. The challenges are "cleared" as soon as you hit bronze.
Gold is for the people who want a challenge or want to get even better at this game. If you can't do it, then keep practicing or be content with silver/bronze.
And for comparison, GT1-GT4 had considerably harder license test times and other events.
Not more difficult than GT1-GT4 which have hard license tests across the board and other events which were also a pain.
GT5 has Eiger, Toscana at night (it was patched) and the Vettel challenges, and to some extent also the AMG Nurburgring events).
GT7 for me, over half of the licenses/circuit experiences and other events were gold on first try. The other half was just a few more attemps and the only events in this game that took quite the effort from me were the S-10 and the Le Mans circuit experience (sector 3). For me these are the only 2 hard events on this game. Alongside some WTC 600 races, but those can also be easy if you get the right car and setup as I've experienced it. Everything else was either average or easy.
The difficulty of the Vettel Challenges in GT5 on their own surpass everything in GT7 by a long shot. I took about 1 hr (give it or take it) to get gold on S-10. For the Nurburging GP, and especially Suzuka in the Vettel challenges in GT5, it took double digit hours to get gold, might as well say I spent the amount of time on those 2 events or more as a 24 hr race.
GT6 and GT Sport were terribly easy... GT7 at least is a step up from those.
GT Sport however did have the Hamilton DLC which is pretty much on par with the Vettel challenges in GT5, but again, that was a DLC that you had to buy, not part of the actual core game of events.

Same for me, In GT Sport there are some difficulty but it can be done with some try. GT6 and Sport was the best for that. It's hard but almost everyone can do it.
It's a game, not a real licensing test, what the point to put it that hard. Lot off player didn't have the time to try 100 times the same test. They only want to enjoy and finish the game like everyone.
It's make me laugh when people say it hard because it will make you a better driver.
I do almost all gold in GT5, GT6 and GTS with a correct difficulty, but in GT7, the physic are so awful and the circuit experiance so hard that I finish to drive like a maniac and doing anything and win the gold without following the race line and respect the brake space.
And this is the same thing for the license test.
So no, this game don't make you a better driver haha
On a track with 1 metre run off area yeah I woild be on pace.
Not racing in a tunnel.

Yeah I love when people gatekeep others and just say get gud. Why don't we make the game more accessible so that everyone can have the satisfaction of getting gold and for the more pro drivers they can challenge their friends for the best time on their leaderboards.

You can repeat it as many times as you want and keep spreading PUHH, which unfortunately doesn't suit YOUR worldview, but a majority of the players here say that you get better with practice... even if it "only" makes you better in this game driver makes.
You're the one who keeps saying he's such a good driver, but GT7 is so broken it can't be played properly.
Just one example: In the Nürburgring CE area, a very good driver posted a video of his test today. This video is extremely educational and shows just how far the gold age is from where a professional can go.This professional attests the ring in GT7 a very good feeling. Who should you believe more.. the one who says the game is broken, so he can't achieve anything.. or the one who proves with a video what is possible if you have the talent and the skills for it?
I know whose statements carry more weight for ME.

I have a steering wheel and have been playing GT since the first one. I still can't gold everything and never have been able to. Unfortunately, it's a hard game to master. But that's exactly why I find it rewarding when I improve.
You can always just play longer to get the cars or credits that you want.

Doesn't this fall dangerously close to "Everyone gets a trophy!" territory, though? Full transparency, I've ZERO first-hand knowledge on '7, but it's not terribly relevant here as it's about the concept...
As it stands, bronze is (allegedly) relatively easy to accomplish, which allows progression in the game and unlocks content. Gold is very difficult to attain and carries with it rewards for doing so. This promotes user engagement and, potentially, increased player skill. You get to grow and be rewarded for that growth.
IMHO, making it 'easy' so everyone can get the gold undermines ALL of the aforementioned.

Ahh yes.. so a game should be sooo easy that EVERYONE can easily do it... what kind of logic is that?
There is NOTHING in the game that requires you to have gold everywhere and then be able to race!

If I am playing any game it I get so upset that I want to throw the controller I play something else. For me I know that I am not going to be able to get all gold on CE. The main reason is I don't want to take the time to do it. Not saying I can't do it I just do not feel like putting in the time to do it. Maybe I will go back and do it but right now I am satisfied getting bronze and silver.
Shameless self promotion.... I like it.🤣

To OP just take it easy. If it's credits that you're after maybe do other events races. Just look after your mental health. I've played every GT numbered games and have ALWAYS been mostly silver with odd gold and some bronzes for licenses in the past. What I find really frustrating is there's no reward for getting all silver on ANY event. What's the point in having silver in the game if you're only awarded for Gold and bronze. 🙄🤨😄

@Hazel ruined it for everybody, now I'm above 484 you're all just numbers to me now so I will no longer reply to anything 🙈

Thing is, PD have access to everyone's lap times for everything... they can judge what's going to be appropriate for the most people...
What they're aiming for...
What you're advocating...

In previous GT games numbered ones I can't remember which one now you were awarded prize cars for silver. It is really pointless having silver in the game if you're like me at that level 😄. You're either awarded for bronze or you've got to get gold which isn't achievable for everyone which I don't have an issue with. The whole situation makes zero sense, I suppose like a lot of things when the game launched 😄

This is like a Spinal Tap "my amp goes to 11" conversation.
If you went wide on the turn and hit the wall, you would also run wide of your theoretical run-off. A limit is a limit, whether it's a wall or the edge of the runoff. You messed up the turn because you got the line wrong. No amount of coddling or game design is going to make your bad line better.
Well no track is so narrow and on a racetrack as long as you have 2 wheels inside the limits you aren't out if bounds.
So I disagree with your point entirely.

No the graph for some of them is the complete opposite where 99.9% of people will be unable to get gold time example Nurburgring. Its always funny how this conversation happens the same across many different game genres. People always say the same that they had to suffer to accomplish something and since they had to everyone else has to.

@Wyldone6984 hey Mr.Wyldone, if you’re not able to get Gold than simply aim for Silver or Bronze ?!
Honestly, I mean are you aware that getting Gold represents some kind of Special Achievement ?!
For example like being very good at what you’re doing ?!
There’s no incentive to aim for Gold if you don’t have the Skills or patience or most importantly, having FUN at what you’re doing.
Getting Gold is a reward, not a Necessity.
You don’t need to Gold anything to actually have fun.
It’s just there to reward you, and shouldn’t be the main Reason why you do what you do.
Just enjoy the drive, learn the Track and get better and maybe you’ll be rewarded with that shiny BlingBling Gold Badge 😅
Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s a nice Feeling a pleasant Confirmation to achieve a Gold Reward but be realistic, if you got the Skills you‘ll get Gold, if not, well… we can’t be a all Winners, doesn’t mean we’re Losers 😉
