I've always sorta been disappointed that I could do really well in races, and my times compared to some on GT3Times and Racing Line aren't bad either, but I can never gold most license tests. At best I gold all of B except for one, and that's about it. So a bonus car won't help me.
Guess I'll be trawling the used car garage for a while searching for something shiny. That'll be fun in itself.
Do not feel disheartened Eagle. The license tests and time trials are more a test of ones patience than skill.
You however get a huge feeling of achievment once you actually get gold.
I think from reading one of your many posts that you say you have been playing GT3 for about a year now.
It took me about about 18 months before I achieved all gold.
I find beating the set times a large part of the challange of GT games, however I understand that other people set themselves different challanges.
There are some people here that set themselves to be the fastest possible at license tests, time trials, lap times etc, I am not one of these people.
I however believe that it is a worth while goal to try to finish all three GT games to 100 %.
How can you say you get fun from having done only a certain amount when you have not experienced all that GT3 has to offer.
The endurances races teach patience and being able to duplicate the same line lap after lap. Both these skills are a great aid for getting Gold on license tests and Time Trials.
The PD cup in standard cars teaches pit stradegy and tyre choice.
The professional Races teach you the skills of car upgrades and tuning choices.
I will say someone who has completed GT3 to all gold has achieved a feat that should be applauded by all.
To me it shows patience, ability and skill.
I understand some people will never complete the game 100%, but please do not attact me for urging people on to get there.
The huge sense of achievment for youself when you get there is well worth it.
