Stuck at B-10 in the licenses.

[Sofo]

I had no problem with the 9 first challenges, but in no 10 the difficulty seems to have skyrocketed.

I can get to 10th place without too much difficulty. Then there is a gap to 9th place where there is no drafting to help you, and i simply can't catch up.

Is there a trick to do it?

Is the B-10 license the Indy one-lap battle?

Sorry that I don't remember, its been a while since I ran them

Check out the license video's in the GT5 Video thread

Good luck!

I've just been back and re-golded it at the second attempt.
The best advice I can give you is be very aggressive with your drafting. Only pull out of a cars slipstream at the last moment. And I had a blue car in front of me on the back straight. It may have been a Clio. But that provided me with an excellent draft for most of the back straight. Never lift off the throttle. And you might also try going to manual gears as that can be worth an extra few miles an hour. It is also important that you have ASM turned off, or it will slow you down in the 2 corners.

This ^ exactly so.
It's timed just right, so that you have to leave one draft & catch the next just at the right moment.

I've Been on the throttle all the way and driving on manual gears.
I will try being more aggressive on the drafting.
What is ASM?

It is more important to be on draft than to be on the full accelerator. Modulate the accelerator to avoid hitting ai. You need to smoothly switch from one draft to another which will boost your speed enough to slingshot to front runners which are quite far away. There is a specific sequence that the videos will illustrate better. At least 2 variation. If you miss the draft, turn more than needed or is slowed down by a collision, it is better to restart (for the gold). If it is any consolation, this challenge stumped me for months when I was new to gt5.

Asm is active stability management. One of the in game aids you turn off under options. Asm slows the car everytime the car wobbles. In game, cars does lots of controlled slides and oversteer to be faster. Asm kills that.

Thanks for the tips. I will try them out.

Thanks for the links. I will study the videos.

Made it. Got to 6th place on my second try.
Turning off ASM definately gave me som extra speed. Wonder if there are other aids that slow me down. Will try with ABS and TC only.

Thanks for your help.

Tcs slows you down as well. For licenses, because srf (skid recovery force) is always on, traction control does not help but hinders. Abs is useful. Keep them on unless you find licenses too easy. In high powered car with controller and srf off, tcs can be quite useful
