What License or mission are you struggling with that you feel ashamed about?

The drift missions were terrible, but it seems a lot of people had the same problems.. I needed the controller to gold them.
One that I lost a lot of time trying to gold, was the slipstream mission on tokyo. That one made me sad.
Right now I have left only the S-10 license. I'm 1 sec off gold, but I have trouble carrying speed through eau rouge and I keep losing the rear on those turns before the final chicane, unless I go super slow through there, but then I can't make the gold.
 
I don’t like the drifting and struggled at the sardegna rally one because the jump physics sucks and your car bounces off to another dimension.

But for all the struggles, doing like the pagani Brazil test in one try was nice.

Apparently the Nurburgring gold circuit experience full lap is 20 SECONDS QUICKER in this, I think using the same car. There was a thread on here about it. I'm just like "I'm out". Bronze will be just fine. Not needed to get a platinum trophy at least. I wonder if it's tougher than mission 34 in GT4.

I've found everything tough. I see people be like 'oh, such and such is easy' and sometimes I wonder if they're that good or just lying

Yeah the nurburgring is tough, it doesnt give you any room for mistakes

The Viper one was tough, there's a really fine margin on the transition into the hairpin between being to fast and going straight off, or too slow and spinning. I found I needed to be hitting 2800 points or so in the first left hander to have any chance at getting gold.

Here's my gold run for inspiration. Was around a 7600 run.

The drifting ones are hard because they kinda domt make sense, sometimes the points rack up mega quick and other times they dont even though you might have loads of speed and angle.
I had to throw in a 360 to hold sideways long enough to in the 1st section to get enough points to pass the tsukuba mission in the gt86

Feels good to hear from you again, guys, and I very much enjoy having a bit of competition on the friends ranking boards.
With my subpar state of health I didn't have great plans for GT7 and it's been a good bit out of habit that I bought the game last week.
I admit though that's been a good decision ... :)
I didn't struggle too much so far, however I haven't tried any drift challenges yet - now your comments above made me curious for sure and I possibly give it a try soon.

@TRB1999
Coincidentally I've planned to tackle the HSR circuit experience full lap tonight. I expected it to be as doable as the sector runs are
but after reading your post I hardly can wait to fire up my PS and see what I can do. :D

I can't see you being ashamed about any Missions or Licences - you'll breeze through them all! 😉

Did all my licenses on bronze (some were silver) but I have no idea how people do these on gold! The final Super License race was definitely a challenge!

Took me ages to get a full lap in - I managed to gold it by just over a second. It requires staying on the dry patches, avoiding cutting the kerbs but as I found out, a lot of 3rd gear through the mid to latter sections as there’s a lot less wheelspin. Whilst immensely difficult, keep practicing and I’m sure at some point you will get the gold.

Cook up... practice, practice, practice and keep checking the demos to see what this driver does better than you, so you can learn how to do it more correctly/better. Sometimes it's just a few little things that you have to change and you'll be faster. But it is not absolutely necessary!! However, my "experience" tells me that if you are able to gold the licenses and missions and track experience, then you are generally able to drive faster/better.

Great to see all you guys again! Today I enter a new era, my new Fanatec wheel arrives later today, so my controller days will be at an end. Have purposely not done most of the Circuit Experiences yet so I can use those to learn the wheel. Cheers!

Watched your drifting videos - you made it look so easy! I'm still hopeless though - spent 2 hours yesterday, mostly going backwards in every sense.....

Going to try the controller, as most people seem to reckon it's easier. That in itself will be a challenge, after years of using a wheel.

Good luck with your wheel, it will make a big difference to the experience!
 
Nice to see some GTers reuniting here!

I think if you got your super license, you should be able to get gold on all the B license tests. Then your A......and you'll start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I'd wager a guess that golding B license was easier than bronze on all super
 
I'm within 2 tenths of getting the F1 super license gold, but no way will I get gold on the last/final super license.

Anyone fancy taking over my account to gold it for me?:D
 
Yes, I have it down as the third(could be fourth if the first corner is classed as two corners and not one) and the one under the under the bridge is pretty much flat out if you can glide it over the kerb. I just can't seem to time them all perfectly enough, though I use a controller, so maybe that's a bit harder than steering wheel...?
 
I think the only one that I haven't got gold on so far, of the ones I've attempted, is the Viper drift mission. My best is just over 500 points short of gold. It doesn't help that I don't understand how the drift scoring works, so I'll do what I think is a bad drift and get more points than one I think is a good drift. If anyone can explain to me what scores more points, that will probably help.
 
I watched a few YouTube videos on the drift ones, especially the Viper one.
I also setup the demo ghost to be 0.5 secs ahead of me. That helped me get most of the golds.

Drifting and that crazy 30 laps race at Tsukuba.
Click to expand...
I one stopped the Toyota 86 rally car with sports soft tyres for the Tsukuba one and it worked a treat but the pay-out for the event is abysmal. 10k for over 30 minutes sucks.

Edit: I should add that I wound back the power by backing the fuel saving to six when the rain was at it's worst. It helps to keep the car in check, and you have to go easy on the right handers or the front left burns up (it was completely gone after one of the stints. I think it was the second one).

Some just take time, confidence, and depend on your track knowledge. Like I know Spa well and got a gold time for the S10 test after a few tries.

TXS. Never thought of a rally car for that one. Will give it another go

Struggling with the passing challenge at laguna with the tomahawk. I mostly feel ashamed for whoever designed it though, you are forced to make unsafe passes to have a chance at gold and when the car you just passed hits you in the rear you are disqualified. Just brilliant.
 
First of all, I will say this is a nice thread. It's nice to see people are humble enough to admit where they struggle in the game, and I'm no exception. Now, working my way backwards, from the game's last missions to it's first, I've managed to gold all of them so far down to Rolling Stone. With that in mind, allow me to declare what I feel has been THE hardest mission TO DATE.....

THAT GOSH DARN OVERTAKE MIXED CLASS 1 at FUJI IN THE NISSAN!!!!!!!!!!

OH....MY......GOOOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing was giving me STUPID amounts of problems this morning! Took me like THREE HOURS to finally(and barely) Gold it!




The problem isn't catching the 1st place driver, it's doing so while avoiding getting hit by the 3rd and 2nd place cars, while navigating through tight corners towards the last sectors at Fuji. I had a blip of a time getting around them without hitting them and then on top of that you have to draft the crap out of the 1st place car on the straight. Simply MADDENING!!!!! Did any of you guys have trouble Golding this mission? What did you use pad or wheel?


Oh and one last thing....

Not really "hidden assists", but just the nature of the controller. When playing on a wheel, especially when trying to drift, you have to use a lot of the 900 degrees of rotation, which is a HANDFUL, and also rely on the "natural" correction a car is supposed to do. GT doesn't really feed back steering lock like a IRL car does, so a lot of it is guesswork. I wish we could find and hold opposite lock as easy as an actual car.

On a controller you can go full lock to lock as fast as you can move the stick, so you can constantly adjust very quickly from under to over steer, and you also have quick access to an e-brake, which is super hard to do on a wheel without a peripheral handbrake. It looks weird of replay, but is much easier to keep the car from spinning out.

........DING DING DING
 
I happened to do that one this evening. Did it in maybe 6 or 7 tries. I realised the trick was to get past the first two before the left hairpin, then past the Porsche before T13 and past the fourth one between T15 and 16 (and slipstream the last one down the straight). All that could only happen if you push hard through the first corner and then around the 100R.

I've done a few races around Fuji in the past and that helped.
