Sorry if this has been discussed before.
Has anyone tried the S License recently? You can literally ram the other cars w/o being disqualified. I just got my remaining 7 golds in less than 30 minutes with little effort.

The whole purpose of the license tests is to learn more about driving and to improve your techniques. Whether you do this or abuse the license tests is up to you, but you won't be really practising anything if all you do is ram others off the track. It's a bit like school. You can listen to the teacher and learn, or you can totally disregard what they say and don't learn anything.
 
I never got a Garaiya at School.

I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much.
 
I had no idea, but I'll complete my remaining licenses now. I think I only did the first two.
 
It was super easy before, I managed to get all 10 golds first time and I can barely scratch silvers on all the others.
 
They were already easy. Compared to the S License in other games like the insane GT-One at Monaco in GT3.
 
You can still get disqualified for the tiniest little tap, often not even your fault. And yet you can get away with blatantly ramming them, using them as a brake or bump-passing. It's pretty tough to tell what's going to happen when you make contact.
 
They probably seem easy only because you are forced to use Skid Recovery Force, and I believe that most GT5 players don't use this normally. So yes, all license tests will seem extremely easy if you're used to not using SRF.
 
It is surprisingly easy. Last game save I had before my file got currupted, I managed to gold almost half of it at one try. Some other tests required a couple of tries but it was very easy. This is actually the first S Liscense I gold in any GT.
 
I have also replayed the license test but I just thought I have gotten better in playing and some non-S tests were still challenging (and all gold like the first time still).

Feel this is close to the mark, having gone through the tests 5 times I found recently that quite a few of the S's ( all golded) I was able to gold first time fully through the lap (allowing for a couple dq's :olo: ). Yet there are a couple in the B and A licenses that were still very difficult but I eventually got 'em, and am still unable to gold most of those in the international classes. There are many in these that I just don't have the driving skills to master and yet I'm able to drive pretty well in full events. Even golding the S's was certainly not as difficult as some of those previously mentioned.
 
I feel the licenses are way too easy in GT5. Does anyone remember the GT4 Nurburgring licenses? Or the GT3 Ford GT40 at Seattle? :scared:

I'd say the most challenging ones would be the cone-slaloms :grumpy:

Ooh gawd the gt3 one:scared:
 
Don't know why I was going over this and the why's of it afterwards, but I may have some theory as to why the S's seem easier, comparatively speaking. During the majority of the other licenses, we are by ourselves on the track. There is no on track point of comparison as to where you 'are' in the test. That is why I find some of the cornering so damn frustrating and baffling, yet those in which there are AI in the test I find that it is easier to see when and where I need to drive harder, or change my gear chaNGES, or other such points where there is a need to make some sort of change in what I am doing in the test.

During the 'S' tests, I came to see, section by section and through trial and error, where I needed to be in relation to the AI at any different point in the test. Trial Mountain is a perfect case in point. If I wasn't up with the Porsche by the first right hander after going under the bridge then it was going to be more difficult golding. And so on, if you get my drift. Having AI in the test gave rise to a natural inclination to drive harder as opposed to trying to analyse and make technical changes in what I was doing in the tests. With you 'S's, you just drive the bastard as hard as you can and have some fun.
 
In version 1.0 if you touched the other cars, then DQ. During some update it made it where you could rub them and I think lightly hit them and it was OK, but I think they changed it even more recently. Just tried the one on the Top Gear track today and I was going demoolition derby on them, using them for brakes, with no problem. (Of course 4 wheels off the track is still red.)

Frenzal has a point about traffic/no traffic for longer races. But some of those 20 second tests are just insanely hard.
 
I never even finished GT3's S licenses ... GT4's were just as hard.. GT5's ... I golded them all, and got that pretty GTR like a walk in the park..
 
S licence is pretty easy... On the Top Gear test you can cut every corner without getting DQ'ed.
