Not gonna lie, that license test defeated me. I rock no assists at all on controller and hardest settings on the game. Basically as raw of an experience as I can get and I had to turn on all the assists to get gold. I kept falling like .090 seconds too slow to score gold. They REALLY want you to master that accelerator control. Really glad I bought another controller cuz I can totally see myself chucking one.Stuck on the very next one as we speak…
At least this one gave a decent cornering car. I’ve been stuck on the very next one with the Supra for days now. It doesn’t help that the car turns like a boat. Currently have 049.
I’ve found that using a controller with motion-control for the drift missions is much more doable.
This was the setting I used:
I think ABS is a must simply cuz there really isn't much feel on the brake pedal... especially on the more mid-tier wheels. Even with the Fanatec (or above) brakes with the load cell attachments, the feel is quite limited. I used to turn off all assists ('cept for ABS), but with with how easy it is to break traction on the rears in GT7, I decided to use 1 click of TCS. Makes life a lot less frustrating.
I guess I just like the added challenge of saying “I did it with no assists.” Lmao. There are a few instances where being able to lock all the tires up and slide the car into the correct line does help, but some of these license tests demand near perfection. Depending on your driving style braking late into a turn and carrying the maximum amount of speed will make up for not being able to control the car under acceleration on the exit. I found that helped a lot with the 97 Supra test. Instead of trying to dump the accelerator at the earliest moment I enter the corner as fast as I can without understeering and let the car do it thing until you can really get on the gas.I think ABS is a must simply cuz there really isn't much feel on the brake pedal... especially on the more mid-tier wheels.

I forget what my steering sensitivity is at but the only thing I turn on is abs. That helps a ton and shaves a lot of time off.
Turn your steering sensitivity to 7. It’ll reduce the under steer and allow you to take the inside corner a lot better.
No, I know exactly what you mean... I was the same with wanting the 'did it with no assists'... but I just can't get any feel for lockups and I'd like to think that 'Default ABS' is generally the accepted by most players.
The snappy nature of GT7 got me so annoyed that I was like 'screw this, I'm clicking 1 TCS!'

I’ll try it out.
Yeah it is a struggle. Satisfying as hell when I nail the triggers and get that perfect lap.No, I know exactly what you mean...

Interestingly, I felt that GT7's understeer has a more pronounced feedback on the wheel. I can really feel the fronts scrubbing, which makes me more conscious of my entry speed.
