Just recently completed License Test IC-3. Took me over 3.5 hours to get this pesky challenge.

Got Silver on second try. Then, to my surprise, got 18.302 on third try.

Start thinking "this isn't going to be a hard one." *insert palm face here*

After another hour, complete the race without seeing ghost car in front of me (which was a change from the other 14840 attempts). Watch the timer, as if it is in slow-motion, go from 18.300 to 18.301...
:ouch: :ouch: :ouch:

Got 18.301 again about 30 tries after that. Was going to throw the controller against the wall but decided to drink beer instead.

Another 2 hours later, finally win this race with a time of 18.298.

I have always played GT games (GT2 was the first PS1 game I ever owned :) ) and this was by far the hardest thing that I have ever come across in the game. About 882983 times I was ready to throw the controller. Shouted many of times and scared the cats...but held my ground and completed the test.

I was wondering if any others have had any moments of EXTREME HATRED against any challenges they have face in this game. I know players love to hear about other's challenges.

Who knows, you may get some help!
 
If I can't do it within a few tries, I normally stop and come back later.

I've broken enough DS3 controllers to know better :O

Scared the cats, thats awesome!!👍
 
Spend half a lap to overtake a slowish car on the Nürburgring (using a heavy car, so late braking was a no-go). Finally manage to do it two corners before the final straight. Watch him fly by me in the straight, thanks to the ridiculous slipstream in this game.
 
Definitely the NASCAR events. All good and dandy on any of them other then the Ovals. I don't know where Kaz got the stupid idea to force ASM to simulate the draft effect, maybe if they actually tried to get their physics engine working(without a game breaking car aka X2010) then they wouldn't have to screw over good drivers.

What is this! the most ive ever tried on any license test was 4 (with a DS3). I did all the license test early in the game so I shouldn't have been that good anyway. idk if i have a different copy or something lol but gt5's license tests were easy compared to previous gran turismos. IMO


But for me, i find Nascar very hard. especially the test. the one where you have to stay on the outside and inside lanes. i was struggling so hard just to get bronze. (now those test took me like 30 tries :-)
 
yeah, to each his own I guess. I got the Nascar Special test's in about 3 tries. For some reason, I only had trouble with that 1 pesky little test! so frustrating!!!

Nice to see that I am not the only one that has trouble with a few things though :dopey:
 
Sweating bullets to gold an AMG special event to find you get a bloody photo location as a prize & not a car! LOL
 
^ Luckily, I managed to do so after countless tries:D I think my controller barely survived how hard I was holding it at times:nervous:

True, so true. I, so far, have avoided most of the events that I know will make me rage, two exceptions that I remember are the Cote d'Azur FGT race (so frustrating to watch the other cars just walk away from you, I had to fight pretty hard to get 4th) and the Lamborghini race in the Grand Tour special event, where everything can be going fine, you're making good progress, then your concentration wanes slightly, you spin, hit a wall and might as well die at the wheel. Hated that race. I think I got 2nd place but have now given up, I don't know how you're supposed to win that.

For Monaco, do an oil change, set your top end (speed) DOWN by 20 km/h & make sure you get into turn 1 in 1st place. (Keep restarting if you have to.) From there, concentrate & you'll win it easily. (Do 3 x 7lap or 2 x 10 lap stints with short breaks.)
 
5 hours non-stop trying to gold Gran Tour Eiger Nordwand Time Trial (using sixaxis) and comming 0.3 second short.
Then the next day 1.5 hours still with no success, came 0.1 second short.
Then, 3 days later I finally golded it, after 30 minutes.
Golding all licences was way easier, IC-3 took me only 50 minutes.
Eiger TT was really a horrifying experience, I'll gold S.Vettel when I get a wheel.
 
Don't play gt5 that much anymore but I remember the first time I saw their programming of 24 hour races on both Le Mans and the Ring. Good grief the foolishness PD did lol. Cars getting slicks put on in pouring rain so all cars end up looking like demolition derby cars from smashing into barriers and each other because they slide off the track and into each other at 100-200 mph for lap after lap till it wises up and puts back rr on. Then when it stops raining it puts RH on your car while the AI all get RM tires. These two reasons are why you Will Leave with a lead and come back a few hours later and be down a few laps. Hatred is putting it mildly lol.

For that hour or so and many laps of this nonsense I developed a serious dislike for PD. Too much wrong with the game as is but to see this was the straw that broke the camels back lol. I actually ended up laughing at the ridiculousness. This is deliberate programming IMHO. No way they are this incompetent.
 
Missing the Silver medal at the Nurburgring lap in the SLS in the dry by.... 0.8 seconds.
 
Moment of G5 hatred - every time my wife (sitting behind me reading a magazine) says "What ARE you doing?" - which is happening a lot lately as I'm moved from DS3 to a DFGT.
 
The Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge. I nearly snapped my DS3 in half trying to do this.

I don't know why everyone thinks that event is very hard. In 2 hours, I golded all 3 parts ( with a DS3, and assists on )

Ontopic: Top Gear Challenge with the Lotus, one hour of pure rage. I finished the race only once, in the first place.
NASCAR School, Advanced - Daytona : maybe the hardest event I played until now, I only got Bronze.
