Ah...sorry i misunderstood.Maybe im just very stubborn about getting all golds that I really pushed myself to get them. The only golds left for me are the S-Class races. My hands are very sore BTW. 🤬 S-License test!!!
Kaz reading posts, sees X2011 24hr Endurance Race---> 💡Dont go giving anyone any ideas....
No worries. I was determined to get all golds in the game but I just cannot see a way to get it with the GTA Shifter...maybe I just don't have the skill levels for it. In fairness, my frustration last night was aided by 3 glasses of wine so maybe I will have more luck without...though I am usually much better at things like that when I am not sober lol (I still remember playing Tekken at 3am after a heavy night out (showing my age there lol) and I was miles better than when I played sober!)
Our face after 1 lap---->That sounds like a recipe for seizures and aneurisms...
Drunken Master!
Profiting by getting drunk?!lmao...yeah, I kinda was back then. Fruit machines in the pub were where I really excelled...I once got £86 out of a pub fruit machine in one evening in a pub, for an outlay of £20. It had one of those ones where you had to press the button at the right moment to keep the thing climbing to the jackpot...for some reason, when drunk, I could hit it at the right moment to keep it climbing....and then get a repeat jackpot on the next go. Think I got about 5 or 6 jackpots that evening...fun times!

Good observation. Yes that's what I do when turning the karts. Only throttle hard when in straights.It appears my "woe is me" posts were a bit premature! Had a bit of a practice, including using l2 and r2 for brake/accelerate (couldn't get on with that), and have managed to get 3rd place 1.2 seconds behind first. The solution was pretty simple: by applying the principle of feathering using the x and o buttons. Admittedly not easy, rather than press and hold for braking, instead repeatedly press the brake button. This stops the kart better and doesn't lock the brakes and, by doing the same with accelerate while in the corner allows it to turn much tighter. It is very much juggling between doing this and applying full throttle but I am, finally, getting there!
It's like old school video games. You touch the A.I. you're dead!If I ever get the choice between destroying all the karts in the world and world peace I would start with the 125ccs
First race, win after trying 50000 times
Second race, the AI clips me and the rest of the championship is ruined
They really need to include a pillow with a picture of AI driver with this game so we can abuse it everytime those bastards think they can just go through objects
I found that with the shifters on gt stadium, patience is exactly what got the gold for me. You have to drive smooth as silk, stay off the gogo juice till FULLY apexed and brake early. If you try to boot it, you will spin/slide every time. I got a lot of silvers before the gold by doing this, and even more re-starts, but eventually you will win. I usually didn't even finish the race if I tried to push it hard, which I might add is my usual driving style. By being patient, I don't mean slow, just, and only just under slide out pace. Malicious AI don't help any either. They are downright aggressive in this race. It's a very fine line. Decreasing gear ratio back to 140 k's helps a lot too.I mean, patience - especially in GT6 - will not help you to win races. Unfortunately, they are still using rolling starts with 10-20+ seconds between 16th and first. If you start in 16th, you can't afford to be patient.
I really have no idea how people can do 8 perfect laps for this race but I'm not one of them. I am giving up having miraculously gained silver but that's it for me. I have had enough of the ai either blocking or spinning me, ability to run flat out through the final corner when I have to lift or spin and that the slightest mistake means you lose. I don' mind being punished for my mistakes or even having to do near perfectlaps but, in that POS on that track for that many laps, no way. As I've said before, props to those who managed it...you are clearly so much better than I ever will be at this game
Try fixating on the track. Ignore your race position and lap. I found if I realised I was in with a chance of winning I tried too hard and screwed it up. I basically just caught and overtook everything in front of me until it said "finished" at which point I'd failed, except once!
Bottom line is this. The game is programmed to let us always win. We just have to race and keep up to the lead A.I. until the game gives us the opportunity to overtake it in the last 2 laps. Happens in all races.

I've only done the first lot of Karts as I am not sure I have the patience for them at moment. I remember hating them with a vengeance in GT5 but, once I adapted my driving style to them, I found them quite enjoyable (except for being punished for a tiny mistake and losing the race!!). Incidentally, the Autumn Ring Mini race on the hardest level of the karts in GT5 was one I could never win despite lots of attempts, silver was the best I could do. The other day, when I was a bit bored with GT6 (I know that's sacrilege to say but I was), I went back to GT5, went to that dreaded and impossible Kart race and.....won it at the first attempt!! It would appear that playing GT6 makes you better at GT5!!!
Advice of the day!Driving to win will only cause you to lose!
