Super liscense test tips???

[ebadevil]

Is that true? I've played GT for ages and I've never been able to do a proper start that ended up being faster than mashing the throttle at the start.

well... yes and no... you can configure your clutch to launch into second, and you'll need to shift manually... but that's generally not a good idea for actual racing, more so if you're drag racing, but regular racing, that's not particularly advisable... so while it's possible, it's not really recommended, I've never done this in GT... plus, you can't tune license cars, so it's sort of pointless...

but yea... it's better if you time your launch... it depends on the car where that sweet spot is but generally, you want to launch somewhere before the red... 4000-6000 rpm or so... I would suggest trying to get your rpms at the start about 3/4 of the way to red... this isn't precise, but you can experiment... regardless, even if you sort of miss, it'll still be better than holding down gas before the race starts...

I got gold for the first 3, the last two I might come back to, but none of the S Licence events seemed worth it to me...

 

[eSZee]

Oh man, I can already tell I'm going to spend days and days trying to gold these license tests.
Can't wait...

It isn't too hard to gold, S-4 (aventador at Brands Hatch) was the one I used most time to gold, since I underestimated it in turns. It can do turns incredibly well once you get to know it. After turning in, when the car is planted, you can pretty much hammer down without too much trouble.

S-5 (Veyron at Ascari) wasn't too hard. I had a couple of tries first as I didn't know the track at all, but at that third attempt, I got it with .6 of a second to spare. The veyron is a car you need to coax into a small slide at the tighter turns. The chicanes needs to be cut quite deep as well, to get the best line out of them.

I will note that I did use a wheel for those, but I do think they are very doable with a DS3 as well.

I started using a wheel a week ago. Was slightly above average with DS3 and now not so good with wheel.

What wheel do you have?
And trust me, once you get the feel for the wheel, you will quickly see how much faster you can be. Especially in faster cars with more downforce, a wheel can help you tremendously.

An example: the x2011 (the "pinnacle" of speed in GT6) is near impossible for me to control when pushing limits. A wheel gives me so much more accuracy. Same with the Pescarolo. Much easier to control minor oversteer, and proper throttle balance means the world.

DFGT and t500 but not using the t500 til next year.
I was already able to beat my DS3 M4 seasonal time by 1.5s with the wheel but I think that was because I used SRF.
Main issue is with counter steer at the moment. Can;t get used to it for some reason.

I'm still trying to learn proper drifting at 900 degrees myself, but low angle skids isnt too hard. Feel the FFB, and most of all, use the throttle for all its worth. I often find myself turning in, and keeping the wheel at a static rotation, and balancing the car with the gas pedal. Much easier to feel when the car will start skidding for me.

But as everyone says, practice makes perfect. I have driven with a wheel for the better part of a decade, so its kind of hard coded in me

I had the same problem.

It sounds weird maybe, but keep using it. You'll learn car control to the point where you'll be able to feel the car on the edge of its limits. Then you can prepare to counter steer slightly if necessary.

Counter steering in general takes a totally different approach. I haven't mastered it but throttle is more important. You can't go from lock to lock in a split second like you can with a DS3 so you have to use your best throttle management skills to hold the slide.

Keep practicing and I promise you'll be miles faster with a wheel, especially in high HP cars with no TCS.

Hope this helps 👍

Finally, golded the Ascari test with the Veyron. Had to set ABS @ 4, TC1 @ 1 too but got a 2:12.947 now only BH in the Lambo to go. 👍 Very pleased with myself.

Edit - Brands Hatch - Done - All golds.

Checking my S license times.. (Gold time in parenthesis)

S1: 1:47.897 (1:48.000)

S2: 1:27.005 (1:27.800)

S3: 56.635 (57.300)

S4: 1:34.323 (1:34.500)

S5: 2:12.143 (2:14.000)


If you're having trouble (especially with S-5) just don't give up. I'm not that good of a driver and I managed to beat it by almost two seconds. A wheel really helps as well. Just remember that the car isn't a race car. None of these are (although the X-Bow is pretty close) so just remember that you have to be patient through the corners because you can gain so much more down the straights!

👍

 

[djslofstra]

I got gold on all events but the last two. Bronze with the aventador and silver with the veyron.
I hate 4wd cars, RWD is more my kind off car. With a RWD car you just feel the car its limit, with a 4WD car I can't.
But @GTP_Ezza75 : Thanks for the vids. Now I'm able to cheat using your corner speed and braking point. I really appreciate it!
My tuned GT6 Subaru Impreza hatchback type C has 90 percent of the torque on the rear wheels now and it drives quite nice for a 4WD.

 

[GTP_clock]

S-4 is kicking my !@#... don't have a working wheel... any tips on this and what settings do you use? any drifting or other techniques I should know about????

glad to hear its a challenge im about to try and found all others too easy

 

[nunorosendo]

Finally finished s4 and s5 licences.

Now its time to buy the few remaining cars i still dont have and face the races in the next level.

 

[JogoAsobi]

Wen't back to finish S4, and S5.

For those having problems with S4, my advice is this:
1) Launch and getting the first turn right are critical.
2) Don't overdrive, turn 2 is easy to overcook, brake early before the car goes light over the crest.
3) hug those rumble strips on the inside, especially the last turn.

S5 Gold for me was just seat time to learn the lines @ Ascari.

One way to learn new tracks like these in Super License is to use Single User mode.
Pick Single Race and work your way up the 3 difficulty settings as it gets easier to beat the AI.
You can also pick up the right lines and braking points from the AI, it beats grinding solo laps.
Anyway, hope this helps those who are struggling, it did in my case.

My biggest gripe remains the forced SRF, and no Brake Bias adjustment for 0 ABS.

The only problem with this is that the AI takes TERRIBLE lines through 95% of corners. They brake early, they don't carry speed, and they accelerate late.

Ok, bad advice according to you and some...like I said it worked for me.

 

[Troggy]

I didn't say it was bad advice, just go into knowing that you're usually able to go a bit faster. Gotta push the limit to find the limit.

 

[varmintx]

I decided to give myself a Christmas present today in the form of going back and trying these. After struggling mightily just to get bronze with my CSR 2 weeks ago, I plugged in my DF-GT thinking that maybe my "toy" wheel would make it easier...it was. The once impossible S-5 was gold'd with a wide margin after only 10 minutes. S-4 proved difficult still, but after a half an hour of trying, I got it done. 1 and 3 weren't much of a problem and I got gold on 2 on the first try.

Now, I go back to the CSR to see if it's still difficult with that wheel before I bid adieu to GT6's license tests for good.

 

[Squach240]

PRACTICE.

And patience.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Quick advice if you're losing the tail on exit upshift early, I do that alot, also remove the driving line after you get a hang of the track follow the blinking red gear indicator for brake markers

 

[Kwicko]

Lotus Elise Aventador at Brands Hatch.



It's actually very easy, just make sure you brake as late as you can and use the curbs, keep it smooth and don't slide it or you'll just lose speed. I can only assume you don't know Brands Hatch well?

You can late brake every corner except turn one (the first right-hander coming at the end of the pit straight) - that one for some reason really works better if you early brake it. It curves away to the right as it drops away downhill, throwing off the car's balance a bit. Slow a bit early for that one, clip the apex as it drops away, and nail the throttle. Late-brake the rest of the corners; there are a couple where you don't really even need to do more than tap the brake to get the car to "set" for the high-speed right-handers (after the very long straight), and you can clip the curbs by quite a bit. The first one of those is easiest to clip because you can also run a little bit wide, given that there's a grasscrete runoff area just after; the second one is trickier, but also a little more open. The following left-hander barely needs to be slowed for, despite the line showing a longish braking zone. The final right-hander heading onto the pit straight is another that can be braked very late and then you can just fling the car into it.




Now, when you get to Ascari with the Veyron, good luck. That car's a pig on that course. Just remember to brake early on most of the tight curves, and late on the more open ones, and floor it in between!


Also, if it helps, try going into Arcade Mode and running some laps of the tracks in the identical cars required for the license tests, just to get a feel for the car and track together.

 

[FishHunters]

On the Bugatti here's my tip: Follow your friends line. Keeping in mind you only need to bronze to move on. You can try for gold later, just get the Super races unlocked.

 

[sid_chiclana]

S-1 and S-4 are probably the more difficult ones to gold, however... took me about 2 hours to gold them all in one sitting, with a DS3 and using Traction Control down to 0

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

LOL oh man I'm struggling even WITH a wheel. I effing suck at this
I'm stuck on S4 as well. the other three were actually pretty easy I thought. I passed them on second or third try. but the aventador I'm a whole second slow and it's so frustrating...

Ferrari, like you have a T500, I have a replay of my Gold using the wheel, I had everything turned off except the forced SRF/ABS 1 because cannot adjust Brake Bias.

I don't have a video capture device, but I can get the replay to you, if you import it you can watch in your gallery.
PM me if you want it. Its just a very clean lap about .250 faster than the gold.

I'm gonna give it another try later this afternoon and if I still can't get it I'll hit you up homie
thanks!

I'm gonna give it another go with the driving line off. I feel like that really slows me down since driving line in this game is to keep you safe, it's not the fastest.

really good & smooth driving though!

 

[Goruk]

Best advice i can give is: slow in fast out, they are heavy powerfull cars so you will get to corners very fast, brake early and try to do the corners accelarating using the overster to go faster arround the corners...
