So I've been playing GT since the first one on the PSX, and I'll be the first to admit that I suck at the licenses. Now I got through B and A easily enough, but I am completely stuck on the final IC test; the 2 laps around the Rome course. I use the GT Driving Force Wheel and I am just all over the place. I literally need to keep a death grip on the steering wheel to keep the car from spinning out. I can barely get through 2 laps without slamming into a wall or another car, let alone trying to come in 7th place or better to pass the test. When I do pass someone they seem to always tap me in the back and send me into the wall which disqualifies me. This is only IC and I'm already going crazy. :ouch:

Any help or advice?
 
I remember this race gving me trouble as well so i'll try to help you from memory. This was a while ago so i may not have the whole thing down atm.

I remember IC-10 gave me alot of grief. To improve your chances of getting through the races without gettind disqualified try the following.

1. watch the sample video guide before you start the race. Pay attention to the voice over and watch the race a few times to get a hang of things.

2. The ferrari you are driving requires early breaking before the turns. So if you have racing guidelines on the map try breaking before you see the red breaking line.

3. This was the first race I completed with internal driver view - you could try that.

4. As annoying as the constant restarts are - it actually helps you become a better driver. It happens alot during the begining of the race so you have a handfull of requirements to meet to proceed through the race.

i. Overtake the first silver car infront of you during the first turn. I did this with timed breaking before I hit the red driving line - then accelerated before the red line ended.

ii. Keep tight on the inner edge of the following curves and try hard not to slam into the cars infront of you. You can let go of the accellerator to keep close to them.

iii. before the long stretch try your best to efficiently cover the turn by breaking early then accellerating out. You'll know you've done this right when you overtake the yellow and red car in front of you.

iv. Stay close to the green car before the next turn comes up before the long stretch of road.

v. To get gold - try to come at least 3rd by the end of the first lap. It takes a couple of tries but is eventually possible even with the sixaxis controller.

I hope that helps
 
Don't oversteer too much, especially at first corner. If you feel like oversteering too much, turn the weel into opposite direction more, but don't overdo it :).
I done this in my first try. Easy challenge (for me), but also great fun.
 
Any help or advice?
Search, it has been much discussed.

fwiw I have all 60 golds and I got this one last. I found this one of the hardest to gold, but it was very worthwhile to work it all out, and everything you learn holds you in good stead in other events.
