GT4 Licenses

Timmeh · 19-05-2005, 09:17 PM

Ok, it's my turn to post a GT4 thread!

Some people seem to be getting a bit comfortable driving one particular Aussie car, so I am looking for people who have the ability to jump into a large variety of vehicles and dominate!

I've completed all license tests in silver (and a few in gold accidentily), so I want to know if anyone has beaten all of my times. I'll just post the special license coz the rest were so easy to get silver that I didn't pursue every last second out of them. In fact, if I got silver first go, I didn't run them again, regardless of the license.

I think this should be a good comparison as you can't modify the car at all, so it tests peoples ability to jump into a variety of cars and drive around their difficulties, as well as tackling a huge variety of surfaces and circuits.

GT4 Special License - in Silver

1) Twin Ring Motegi - Honda Civic - 2.18.571
2) Citta di Aria - Alfa Romeo Spyder - 2.19.608
3) SS Route 5 - Saleen S7 - 1.26.346
4) Costa di Amalfi - Lancia Stratos - 2.18.960
5) Seattle - Ford GT40 - 1.36.357
6) Ice Arena - Hyundai Accent WRC - 0.56.000
7) Trial Mountain - Mercedes SLR McLaren - 1.31.931
8) Tokyo R246 - Honda NSX JGTC - 1.35.256
9) El Capitan - Dodge Viper SRT10 - 1.50.614
10) Grand Canyon - Mitsubishi Starion Rally Car - 2.51.140
11) Opera Paris - Renault Clio Sport V6 - 1.38.320
12) Suzuka Circuit - Nissan Z JGTC - 1.58.043
13) Infineon Raceway - Audi R8 Race Car - 1.17.042
14) Chamoix - Peugeot 205 Turbo Rally Car - 2.30.105
15) Circuit de la Sarthe - Bentley Speed 8 Race Car - 3.24.686
16) Nurburgring - AMG Mercedes 190E Touring Car - 7.22.339

Just something to give those who like to pull a one lap wonder out of a car something to shoot for, or feel good about.

I'll provide screenshots if / when required, but this is just a friendly thread.

I personally feel the Nissan Z JGTC at Suzuka was the hardest of all the tests - the car was on the ragged edge the whole way around.

Tim!

Ok, here is a competition I KNOW I won't win! To be honest, I have yet to complete all the special license tests, and I'm happy just to get bronze on them!

**Polyal** · 20-05-2005, 10:57 AM

lol yeah while i love GT4, I got over doing all the licence tests pretty quickly. So I settle for mainly silvers and bronzes.

Ill go back and have a crack a golds when I have finished all the races...lol

M14A-Mclaren · 20-05-2005, 04:43 PM

I just got them as bronze too, couldnt care less what colour medal I got as long as I got it.

Perana · 20-05-2005, 04:47 PM

Me too... i CBF with the licences.... i havent even bothered with IA yet lol... havent played GT4 in about 3 weeks now either :P

needfordspeed · 20-05-2005, 05:24 PM

On my first shot of nurburgring I got a 7:36, second shot I got a 7:29, I reckon I could get a better time, but I just CBF :P I got the special licence and that's all that matters! But I am going back to the A and B licences and trying to get gold on them all.

Timmeh · 20-05-2005, 05:46 PM

The idea of the thread was the challenge of getting a good time, not the "I don't care so long as I got bronze". Any stooge can do that.

I'm asking who is good!

**M&Ms** · 20-05-2005, 11:52 PM

Well i've got ALL GOLDS on national A, national B, International B and International A!!! I'm yet to finish the last licences, which I wanna get all gold in and win the Model T Ford :1syellow1
Which times you want me to post up???

BA GT-HO · 21-05-2005, 01:17 AM

Ok, I will slowly work my way through your times.

loxxr6 · 21-05-2005, 12:15 PM

Getting Gold is so damn tough in this game.

I have a few Golds tho. I'll have a look when I get home.

Getting Golds is very good, but on the earlier licenses its not too difficult (but still requires time and well done for getting them all!). It's the special license that I found to be challenging, and some more than others.

While Golds in general, in the special license, impress me, the two I would really like to see are the Nissan Z JGTC and the Merc 190 at the Ring.

I'm just posting this out of curiosity's sake, and yeah, the special license is a lap of a particular circuit in a particular car.

If you can get all golds in the special license, I'll be mightily impressed!

Also, for those who enjoy chasing down the top times, do you find you're able to use the steering wheel, or a controller? I cannot imagine doing the Nissan JGTC with a steering wheel, the right left right chicanes just seem too quick for the wheel, but I haven't used one alot so it could just be that I am used to the controller and prefer it.

All golds in special... Not impossible, but gotta wait til I get some time off work first (and wen the UNi semester is over too). I'll report back when it's done :thebirds:

BA GT-HO · 24-05-2005, 03:25 AM

I use the wheel. I did a 1.58 something in the Nissan JGTC - its not that bad as its like driving a real car! Just gotta be quick.
