In addition to all Super License golds, is also awarded for a series win for Professional/GT All Stars (1 of 4).
It's a very versatile car, and can win many races unmodified. It's even qualified for normal car races like Endurance/Trial Mountain Endurance and Professional/Polyphony Digital Cup... and easily beats the field. On my 2nd game save (my "perfect" save), it currently has the most miles for any of my vehicles... still unmodified (it comes with medium racing tires).
It has a very wide gear setting, but is great to drive. I don't think I'll be using it anymore to complete the game, but we'll see...
I got all golds for all licenses for my 2nd game save, USA version(no gameshark, etc.). My first game has like 2 or 3 total license golds, with most of the rest bronze.
It took me about 3 weeks real life to get all golds, the toughest (for me) being R8 and S2. The key for me was emulating the demo runs...
I would run the replays and use the cockpit view to see/hear the following things:
- exit/enter mph for turns
- landmarks for brakepoints
- landmarks for steering (entering/exiting turns)
- listening for rev rates into/out of turns (to see whether I needed to press L2 or not)
It was not easy, but it would've taken me AT LEAST twice as long to get all golds on one of the other versions. I did it using the dualshock 2 that came with the console, mostly using the joystick.
Good luck to all goin for the gold, great job to all who have, and good effort to all who tried!
Have a great drive!
