simply pathetic S-5

[budster727]

I've been playing gt6 for four months and I CAN NOT pass the test ( S-5 )to continue further in game and enjoy the garage i built. I've watched videos and read posts and comments and even offered a reward in my area on craigslist of $30 for someone to please visit me at my house spend the 2:20 mins or whatever to pass test and pay them $30 bucks. Ive played and driven and grinded for money all i can. Ive watched and driven against some exceptional drivers and it saddens me to walk away and know I've seen all im going to see in game. Anyone in clearwater,florida

Are you on a wheel or controller?

I have only been able to get bronze, but that was a year and a half ago and I should re-visit this.

Do not try to beat this on lap 1. Drive slow enough to make it all the way around slowly going faster each lap, turn your driving line on and when you see the red braking area start breaking softly.

By the time you do a few laps your tires will be warmer and have better grip. Just shoot for bronze at first. You can always come back for silver or gold.

I would be happy to run some laps with you if you would like.

I can set up a time trial so we can see our fastest laps.

Maybe I can get gold as well.

Do you have that car in your garage to use.

Send me a message on PSN or GT6 if you would like.

I'm assuming it's the Veyron on Ascari hot lap - which was quite lenient. I certainly wouldn't call it pathetic. There were much more difficult challenges on GT5 and especially GT4 and nobody complained about them. Most people liked the fact that there was a challenge.

 

[budster727]

Your the First. Pathetic was in reference to me not game,sony or track. Yes ive noticed a substantial difference in online since maintenance why havent you ty for your comment I've owned all gt except 15th ann. collector edition. Your comment was a complete waste of your time.

There's no need for the attitude. I'm simply saying the challenge doesn't take much. As for most of your reply, it doesn't make much sense. I'm not clear on what any of the maintenance stuff you're on about is referring to.

W O W. Ty so much for your time and offering. I will buy car but personally cant stand the car to begin practicing. And i prefer ds3 controller due to my size if i used a wheel I'd prob beake or turn and move wheel off of make shift table. I will look you up to. Ty again

Yeah, let's cut out the text speak and floppy grammar...

You will post all messages in English.
You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

Your comment was a complete waste of your time.

And let's also cut that out.

You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack any individual or any group.

The key to S5 is braking. The Veyron accelerates quickly enough and it turns just fine, the problem is that you'll arrive at every corner about 30% faster than in any normal road car and you're on road tyres. You need to brake very early and very heavy. Get the driving line on and follow its suggested braking points for the first few attempts - some are a bit generous, but it's better to arrive at the corner too slowly than plough off it.

 

[budster727]

I'll say what i want how i choose to say it. I wasnt in anyway rude or offensive. Simply pht some things come to some easier than others simply put. Maybe the two of you are extremely sensitive. I wouldnt have commented at all since i didnt have a positive word of suggestion to help a driver if he or she was or had experienced the complications in moving forward in game like i have with one time trial. Zero profanity or attitude was given on my end. I thanked a previous gt6 enthusiasts on his comment for his time and energy responding to my page. I lol at the simplicity of a comment which the administration comments on.

Ty = thank you. Webster dictionary uses the two little letters as a word.

No, you won't. You agreed to the Acceptable Use Policy when you joined the site and it is a condition of your continued membership here.

Cut out the double-posting too.

@budster727 -
Famine's suggestions below are spot on, the key to passing the Ascari license test is braking. The Veyron can accelerate fast enough on any of the straights to satisfy anyone's leadfoot tendencies, but getting the Veyron to slow down is difficult (I imagine due to its weight and maybe lack of decent racing brakes or something).

I just launched GT6 and gave the Ascari license test a try, and was able to beat the Gold time of 2:14.000 by a comfortable margin on my fifth try. I ran a 2:11.730 lap. I didn't really notice any particular differences with this license test from when I first beat it over a year ago, so I don't think that any of the recent maintenance updates have changed this license very much.

I would stress Famine's braking suggestions:
Brake early!
Always brake early!
Brake early so you don't plough thru any corner!
Brake early so you can corner near each turn's apex!

If you are still having troubles, try setting the driving options as follows:
Transmission: Auto
Active Steering: Strong
TC = 0

Good luck!

[SVPSkins]

Ty

With the rules on this site It's "Thank you" not "Ty"

On topic,

The Veyron is a heavy car, Don't take to much speed into the tunes and brake or it's going to unbalance the car and you will just go off track. Brake early in a straight line and then turn in. Do that on the whole lap and it will be alot easier. Braking in the turn like all the other lighter cars, is the common mistake when driving the Veyron.

Were only trying to you help improve.

 

[TonyJZX]

I got no idea what S5 is but I'm guessing by the vitriol it involves Ascari and the Veyron... oh and 2'20"

Seems to be a regular theme. Hell, it almost requires its own sticky... "GT Planet's guide to GT6 Superlicense"

Search. There's a few good threads already with some spot on tips on how to pass.

To me, every clean lap was a victory in itself. I saw it go down 2.25... 2.23... 2.21... until it hit.

 

[ULTRAVIOLENZZ]

Be one with the car. Namaste.

Lol thanks Ultra

 

[Suzumiya]

As you can already tell-the car is a barge. You will have to go a bit slower around each corner than you might think you should, but the straight line speed makes up for it like others said.

Agree with all you said except active steering. Dont ever recommend that to anyone, it makes you go slower, always! (except maybe for extreme cases such as the Tomahawk x...)


@budster727 - one word: PRACTICE - this test is really not hard. Nowhere near as hard as the tomahawk x one in the nordschleife, for example.

 

[Islaygaz]

I also found using a little bit of handbrake at some of the tighter corners can help also

 

[NocturnalWill]

As many have said, practice is key! Also have you tried looking at some of the respected YouTube channels? a few GTP members do guides on such things.

Best of luck .

Yes i have. I then begin screwing up in areas i mastered lol. Its a domino effect for sure

Thanka for your help

This may sound counter-intuitive, but try to lower your pace a little. You have this theoretical lap time you can do if you drive at 100% of your ability, but the closer to your limit that you drive, the higher the risk that you make a mistake. By driving at 100% of your limit you may gain 0.1 seconds in one corner, but if you then make a mistake in the next corner and lose 0.5 seconds, it's all for nothing.

So try taking a step back, braking a bit earlier than you'd have to, taking the corners a bit slower than you'd have to, giving a little less throttle on corner exit, etc.

Doing a lot of clean laps, even if it's only at 90 - 95% of your ability, will also help you to get a better feel for the car and the track, allowing you to push harder later on without driving at the absolute edge of your ability.

Great advice. Thanks for your info and advice

 

[Bhowe83]

I turned this barge using the handbrake a lot of times. Just a tap here and there with the SRF forced on really helped

 

[budster727]

Whats the hand break. Ive switched to auto over manuel again and dont believe its helped and will switch back to control revs better

 

[dr_slump]

@budster727
Also known as e-brake, emergency brake or parking brake (possibly more).

 

[ULTRAVIOLENZZ]

Use the car's weight to your advantage. I used it to glide through turns and curves. Remember early braking is the key. I use controllers BTW.

 

[HKS racer]

Oh the Veryon at Ascari I sweared half an hour but I managed the gold.
The cool thing about this is after the gold I feel I'm improved rougly 0.5 sec on my usual pace.
This test really teach you to approach turns in a slow in fast out way. Which most of the times is the faster approach for every track car combo.

Not only you need to break early but you also need to push enough exiting corners partialize gas if you are going too wide. Another important thing is "cold blood", you might find yourself close to the target but missing by a couple of tenths. Keep calm don't rage quit, you are close, if you are feeling tired drink some fresh water and try again. If you are not achieving gold don't get mad, you'll do it sooner or later. Maybe tomorrow or another day.

Look at your replays and find where's the biggest time loss is, work to improve your time on each part of the track.
I wouldn't use the handbrake I think it unsettle the car but this is just me.

Use the car's weight to your advantage. I used it to glide through turns and curves. Remember early braking is the key. I use controllers BTW.

Yes great advice, this test will also teach you weight transfer. Search a bit about weight transfer.

Buy a Veyron don't tune it and go mess around at Silverstone on a large concrete area, try to unsettle the car on purpose and try to understand how to keep it on control after you unsettled it, usually it's countersteer.

This may sound counter-intuitive, but try to lower your pace a little. You have this theoretical lap time you can do if you drive at 100% of your ability, but the closer to your limit that you drive, the higher the risk that you make a mistake. By driving at 100% of your limit you may gain 0.1 seconds in one corner, but if you then make a mistake in the next corner and lose 0.5 seconds, it's all for nothing.

This is really the key for online racing and real life racing as well.

Doing a lot of clean laps, even if it's only at 90 - 95% of your ability, will also help you to get a better feel for the car and the track, allowing you to push harder later on without driving at the absolute edge of your ability.

This is another trick I still have to learn properly but I'm working on it! Great tip.

 

[luvtadrive]

You haven't mentioned how far off you are from the 2:20. Is it just a few tenths or a matter of seconds? I find that by slowing down my entry speeds & picking up the throttle sooner on the middle & exit of a turn, you can pick up about 4 tenths on each turn. Don't attack the course with the 2:20 in mind. Just drive it & then look to improve where you know you are slow and the 2:20 will fall with out a doubt.
