Licenses - Are they really neccessary?

[PeterJB]

Do any of the championships actually require a license? Because I've only got the National A & B licenses at the moment and yet I'm doing events from the Expert series.

they used to be in GT4.

Now they're only a tool for you to level up quick + trophies + free cars

yeah at the beginning of the game buy a cheap car from the used lot and start doing licences and special challenges and you will get some cars that will smoke a and b spec and you can start saving your money.

No.
Just use them for money/XP/bragging rights, etc.

I really wish they'd made it a hybrid system. Where there are levels like now for the rubbish drivers to be able to do races, BUT each licence counts as a specific level with regard to races.

So:
B=lvl5
A=lvl10
IC=lvl20
IB=lvl25
IA=lvl30
S=lvl40
Or something along those lines

So for example a race will say you need either lvl 21 OR IB licence. So now with the Endurance races, having the Special licence will let you do them, you wont BE lvl40 but can do those races. It would completely destroy the grind issue and at the same time still give the player that doesn't like the licences a chance.

Required levels for cars is just stupid though.

I like your idea but with a twist.

Maybe if they made it to where you couldn't do a level 10 event until you get the A License, it would make the licenses more meaningful. Like if you only had a B license, you could only do events that are up to level 9 and so on.

But I did all the licenses because they do level you up quick and you get some cars. Plus some are really fun cause you get to try a bunch of different cars before buying them. 👍 The only one that I golded though was the Super. I really wanted that GT-R. But I'll have another go at trying to gold the rest. I like to split it up betwen the Aspec events, licenses, and special events. Keeps things fresh.

👍 Golding a license gets you 3 cars, 60 golds = 18 cars + loads of XP, and some of those cars are very good to use in the game.
