I have 69 golds so far. I've had GT4 for 2 days. I haven't attempted S6-S16 yet.
I'm a little disillusioned with some of the tests. I expected more from IA-15, it was my first ever time I had lapped the Nurburgring. I was virtually quivering in fear at the prospect of driving that monster, but then in the test they gave you a very easy car, very balanced and predictable, and the gold time wasn't that low. I got gold on only my second lap, simply by following the pace car. I guess I couldn't have done it without him.
Later I had a beer. Here's to you, Mr Pace Car. I enjoyed my license tests with you. I really respect you, you've been almost like a father to me. I will never forget braking for those hairpins in Citta Di Aria, almost spinning as I tried to avoid you as you braked so ridiculously early, only to be left for dead as you powered away at the exit, with your 550 hp compared to my pitiful 180.
I will never forget driving along those straights behind you at the Nurburgring, even if I was forced to brake sometimes to stay behind you as you seemed scared to go any faster. You saved my life countless times, as we powered along at 150 mph and I had not a clue whether the following corner was right or left. You always showed me the way.
When I achieve gold on the S-16 license test at the Nurburgring, and attain the status of 80-gold licenses, I will stop a while and think. I will crack open a beer and say, in a voice wavering with emotion, 'Here's to you, Mr Pace Car. You taught me everything I know.'
