well.. it's true... gold is a a breeze in GTC... but I must stress this.. I was fortunate to play The Japanese and European version of GTC.. the Japanese version is like the easiest... I got gold in all licences in 30 minutes.. finished the whole game in 4 hours...
The European version is much more difficult... I struggled with the Tahiti licence for quite some time.... Maybe I'm justr a bad driver hahahaah!! but the gold time was 1:52 minutes with the Mitshubishi Tarmac... is that the same time in the US version?
