Are the S-Class licenses hard?

[Airetam]

Unfortunately not.. I spent max 5 tries on every license, including Goodwood events.

I remember when license test were hard, and left you with a good feeling when you finally got gold.

 

[Peak]

It's not as hard as it should be, the one at Brands Hatch with the Aventador was probably the hardest of them all but it gave me a good challenge.

 

[Daduce1947]

With the Veyron, I tried not to cut corners my first few laps cause I was afraid of being penalized, but only when I realized with Ascari, you pretty much have to plow straight through them, I golded it instantly. Sheesh, driving that was like someone putting a pair of wheels to a bag of bricks, except the bag of bricks has better handling.

LOL!!, That surely seems to be the truth for the Bugatti. This track is very technical and the car is a beast, but a few "practice" laps will help learn the track and will warm the tires. GT6 seems to take around 2 to 3 (a few laps) minutes to get the tires warmed, then they'll stick pretty good. My favorite tires other than RH would be the Sports Soft. They stick almost as well as do the RH in 600 hp and under cars.

I needed about half an hour for S-4, completed the other ones within 5 tries.

 

[joeledward]

Just golded the Lambo at brands & veyron at Ascari everything off except ASM & ABS on 1. The gold at Ascari came on only my3rd full run. HaHa.

I tried this and best I can do is Silver! Have Gold on all others but having trouble with S4 and 5 these cars are monsters.

 

[Verbal]

S4 is the only gold I feel I've really earned. Even missed bronze with what I believed was a quite ok first lap
But definitely doable, just keep it nice and tidy and watch the times drop.

 

[beseiden]

Ok, the S-licences are not easy. That said, I manage gold on the first 3 challenges, when I get to the aventador I decided to take it smooth on the first try and didn't thought much about it. I manage to get 53 cents from the gold. At first try. After I must have tried a kazillion times but failed miserably everytime, can't keep up with myself, lololol. When I get home tonight I'm going to try until I get it right. Only then I try the mighty veyron. Good races to every1.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Much easier than the go-cart challenges

 

[Dagger311]

Got em'! The Lambo and Veyron were hard, but once I got used to them, all I had to do was find out when to late brake, and when to break early. I would show times, but I can't find them.

One little trick it learnt Have the TCS on 0 on launch that will give you at least 1/2 a sec jump off the mark. Then as soon as you get traction using the RA function (you have this on the DS3 controller as well) switch the TCS back on. If your already close this may get you gold. I had the ASM on as well but that was 2 mths ago just to control the big heavy slidey beasts and I haven't revisited the tests since. Good luck.

 

[Dagger311]

I used TCS 0 on all of them. TCS kills corner time. I've seen several gold runs online with it though.

Same here. I did much better without TCS since the Veyron's AWD system lets you get small 4-wheel drifts going in corners and you can use the throttle to make the car's front wheels claw it back onto the cornering line. With TCS that ability gets lessened.

It took me a while to figure out that, for me, I had to drive it like a rally car to make it work.

The only reason I won the Veyron was the same reason I thought I lost. I lost control, and it went into a slide. Turns out my ghost was about three seconds behind me, letting me win with a second and a half to spare.

To answer your question, no s-license is not hard. To be honest there's not one hard challenge in GT6. If you've played GT5, there's not one challenge that doesn't feel like a walk in the park.

I did not yet get platinum on GT6 because I refuse to grind for the mileage trophies

Red Bull online rooms on ssrx, fun and you get it in no time flat.

But off-topic: IA mission race 1 and S coffee break, any tips?

All drift coffee breaks use manual gearbox, abs 0 and comfort medium tyres. You will be surprised how easy it is.

I was using ABS 1, Manual, and CH, didm't work so I did CS and got better scores. RS sucks.

I also never left second gear....

 

[Dagger311]

Just got a 7,002 on it .

Now all I have till 100% is the IA and S mission races (Hard) and the one-make races in IA (Which I'm going to do now). Any tips for the mission races?

 

[TexRex]

I didn't have any major problems with license tests, but at the same time there were very few that I got gold on the first try. I made a point to get a clean pass first and aimed for an improvement with each successive attempt. Really, the only thing I'm having real problems with is knocking hundreds of cones in a set amount of time, the ghost doesn't seem to help much.

 

[Dagger311]

The only cone challenge that gave me problems was the obstacle course.

Anyway, I made an amazing pass on the IA 1 mission race, and won by about 400 milliseconds. Didn't try the others.

Got em with practice , practice, practice. thanks for the tip though, much appreciated.

 

[DSUjoeDirte9]

Only "hard" S-license for me was the willow springs one because it was too dark for me to see the final corners and i never liked that track enough to learn it.

One i learned the track though i beat it by like 2 seconds i think.
