hey I'm working on s-1, s-4 and s-5 but s-2 and s-3 i got gold on it so any help much is appreciated even if it is from youtube
From the video section:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gran-turismo-6-licence-gold-medals-perfect-strategies.291211/
Just scroll down to the S level ones. It is a single video containing all 5 events. There are also other videos in that section about them. My tips:
S-1: Just try and be smooth. Focus on your lines, especially in T3, 4 and 5 as they are like the Suzuka esses..needs a smooth line.
S4: Try using TCS 2 or 3 if you haven't before as it gives you that extra stability without impeding lap time. Don't be afraid to chuck the Aventador into a corner as it drifts quite well. Turns 6 and 7 (the ones at the back of the track) can be cut to a certain extent as there is concrete areas outside the rumble strips.
S5: The one a lot of people have trouble with (and the one with most videos about and threads asking about). Again, go with TCS 2 or 3 for less wheel spin off the line and that extra stability. The most important thing is brake earlier than you expect.....I am a very late braker but, by moving my braking zone back slightly, I managed it.
With all of them, just practice. Don't focus on your time but just focus on getting the corners right...if you get the corners right, then chances are you will get the time. Watch replays of your attempts as you can analyse where you can improve times (braking later/earlier, different lines etc). Most importantly....limit yourself to x amount of attempts each time: Sometimes, the more you try, the worse you get as you lose concentration and make little errors (I had this with the Shifter Karts...I would limit myself to 3 attempts before going off to do something else then coming back). I have got gold in all the events using a DS3 and x/o buttons for accel/brake, so it is definitely possible. Hope all that helps
