[@tylerfortier2666]

This is kinda random but the license tests in GT7 have a real day-night cycle if you keep trying for that long - Someone who spent 3 hours on a license test in one sitting and saw a full sunset in-game. Doing the license test at night was kinda cool despite not being able to see shit

[@derosiflo6524]

That's actually sick. Like if those tests would exist irl

[@-BuddyGuy]

Would be a good SuperGT challenge to let the Suzuka test go to night and see if he can beat it with no headlights

[@xwarped83]

That’s a cool detail that they didn’t need to add.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Yes but it was with qualification F1 with around 1000 hp

[@matheusguberovich1176]

[@44TOZ]

@@matheusguberovich1176 and obviously the fear to make an error, in gt7 we can destroy 100 times the car but in reality its not the same

[@EeekiE]

And ABS Default is by far the biggest assist in the game which basically follows the traction circle for you without any modulation or moderation required under heavy braking with any steering introduced. It would be significantly harder to get near this time without ABS, or even on ABS Weak. SGT just mashes the brake to the floor every big braking zone, and even in ABS Weak that’ll ruin your day by extending your braking distance and removing any chance of tipping the car in. ABS Default is easy mode braking.

[@pedrosilvamusician]

@@EeekiE ABS default basically just has what the cars have IRL. There's no point in taking ABS off on a car that does have ABS. Just like GT3 cars have traction control and ABS. You can't drive without it, and it's dumb to not apply something the actual cars have IRL

[@Jailhouse_Chris]

[@TheMachRider]

I find myself doing about the same. Controller lets you correct much easier, but wheel lets you flirt with the limit much better. I prefer wheel (with VR) but the controller is good for when you want to just get through some challenges.

[@HighlandHunter_]

Completed all of these last night. That final one at Suzuka I thought I was never going to beat.

[@mohammadrayan468]

Same lol but what I learnt for this is I was exiting corners in lower gears resulting in wheel spin

[@jonascfjr]

I almost gave up on that last test. And worst of all, I play with a controller, not wheel. I was beaten to hell when I finally made it.

[@degeautdfanfirst]

Yes same Didn't play it much as wanted to last decade back to it now

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

From my experience these are much more challenging than the original launch Super Licenses which could all be done in just two or three tries. I've been writing down the exact time it's taken me to clear all the new license tests and S-1 alone took me 47 minutes.

[@NatVirgo]

I don’t think any of us would be able to do that 200mph corner without blacking out

[@Modi_]

Cant really black out from lateral g, its around 4g through that corner, peak g's in proper racing karts is around 3g so not that far off. Fighter pilots can withstand sustained vertical 10g

[@NatVirgo]

@@Modi_ a pilot is trained for a long time to withstand that. Edit: a quick google search says the average person blacks out at 4-5gs

[@squeakybunny2776]

@@NatVirgo key term here is "lateral". pilots pass out because the blood is forced out of their brains. Lateral G's wont do that.

[@Modi_]

@@NatVirgo as i'm a F18 ground crew member in the FinAf who's actually sat in a centrifuge and gone to 7.5g on one, and whos done 7 year of karting i feel like i'm pretty qualified to say that lateral and vertical g's are hardly compareable. At lateral 5g's you'd have an insanely hard time keeping your neck level and without training your head will just flop around after a corner or two. Lateral g's dont force the blood down from your brain like vertigal g's do, that's the reason why you black out in a centrifuge/fighter jet but not in a racing car.

[@Rezcuz]

Not just the best gaming content creator but one of the best content creators period. I've been following since you were on a pad Steve. Now you're knocking on the door of 1 million subs. A meteoric rise and well deserved. One of the godfathers of GT7 content creation.

[@JamesLaisGlass]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed after about 3 hours of failing to get bronze. Their may be hope for me after i consult this breakdown a couple dozen times.

[@stuntmanshinja]

S-10 is a "double shifter", when you accelerate from low speeds you go 2nd gear -> double shift to 4th (if you go off the throttle while shifting it will work) -> 4th gear for better acceleration. It is also faster from 3rd -> 5th. A little extra tenth each straight to help you if you strugle.

[@wiegraf9009]

Another reason why the CVT was so fast when Williams tested it for F1!

Doing the final exam using tall gears, was the best hint. Thanks for that!

[@k20a_dave]

great job, that's where you see what the pro's do. that time in S-10 is incredible, i barely made it i wheelspun at the exit of the chicane and did like a 1:43.816 rofl

[@ignaciomendozagonzalez6067]

Not sure if it’s still the case, but I believe if you skip the 5th gear in the mp4/4 you actually get a better run in the straights When the car came out there was a time trial in Suzuka in sport mode (guess they got that idea from there, hard one to beat), I very much remember that was one of the tricks I used to try to get a good time, and it worked at least then

[@degeautdfanfirst]

Thank you

[@stuntmanshinja]

You can skip 3rd, or 4rth as well. Generally after the hairpins you skip on gear (remember to get off throttle for a split second while double shifting, otherwise it might not work)

[@lucwijngaard8413]

I've tried it and I didn't notice much of a gain but atleast it wasn't slowing me down either so I think it still works

[@Graneth1987]

Damn this worked very well. I basically skip a gear every time I go on full throttle zones. Exit a turn in 2nd gear, skip to 4th. Exit in 3rd, I skip to 5th. I pick up speed noticeably faster than the demo ghost

[@GrafikLu]

I initially used AT and achieved a time of 1'44.296(Silver). After studying your video, I switched to MT and managed to achieve a time of 1'43.533(Gold). Thank you very much for your video.

[@patb6430]

Sunday Steve showing us how its done on a Saturday! For a self proclaimed "non qualifier" you make it look easy. I'd spend more time completing the challenges for bronze, than you take to improve your golds lol

[@Dan-xv4vx]

You make the last of the licence challenges look so easy. I've been stuck on that and the snow one for at least 2 months.

[@Rammstone86]

The key to S-10 is both higher gears than you think and also short shifting. Third gear in the hard corners, fourth gear in the medium corners and 5,6 on the straights. This also makes it easier to drive because less gear shifts. and shift up when the revs are at about 60-70%. Once I started doing this I got gold pretty quickly

[@Targon999]

That's a good advice, I'll try that

[@SAFFY7411]

For anyone struggling with the last test on controller, map x and square buttons to MFD adjustment up and down and have the MFD set to TC. When exiting a turn that follows a little bit of a straight or a longer straight drop TC 1 to 0 as you have the car pointing straightish and this will be faster than TC1, even if its a bit awkward and you find yourself sliding a little. And when you're approaching a corner toggle TC 0 back to 1 to see you through the corner and so on. Turns to toggle TC 1 to 0 are: 2, 7, 9, 11, 14 and 17. Also when starting the lap, have TC 0 at turn 17 and try aiming to cross the start line at 154mph when starting the lap. This isn't an easy test for controller users but it is possible. Good luck! 👍

[@Cornugon1337]

You made the last one look so easy. But I learned some stuff. Thank you.

[@thesunnynationg]

22:30 In T3 I'd recommend going for a very late apex, therefore you can brake slightly later and have a better run to T4. coast in 2nd gear towards the apex and exit in 3rd gear with just enough throttle. when the car is straight and steady, put it in 4th gear and floor it out of the corner.

[@fastmadcow]

The demonstration ghost on S-5 gets the wide line almost perfectly, it's insane. The rest of the demo ghost isn't too hard to copy.

[@Ryan-th5sf]

This will sound wrong, but steer slower. You’re faster when you’re smoother. If you’re not making it, you’re overdriving it. Look further down the road and the eyes will tell the hands what to do.

use your personal best ghost to see where you can improve, try approaching the corners in a different way and see if it is faster than your ghost, it always works for me.

[@christopherliu4995]

the civic type R has so much understeer because it FWD. Not only does the front two tires have to take car of turning but it also has to deal with accelerating or braking. With RWD the front two tires can focus on turning only on exit and the rear can accelerate, it also allows for oversteer on power instead of understeer.

[@superbyke125]

Thanks for this man mangaged to get gold in the final challenge at suzuka using this video✌️🙂

[@FlyesttKidAround]

Ironically, I found these easier to do with controller with X for gas and square for brake. I feel like the game gives you some hidden assists using that setting. Beat the gold times by a miles except for S-10, which I still struggled with for a while even with this setup

[@andreschulz7424]

Hey Steve ✌🏾 Do you have any tips for calibrating the pedals in the GT7 menu?

[@YouthfulCrusader]

The thing with S-3 is that the wheels were too thin to compensate for weight distribution, so if and when the driver would try to take a good turn at a considerably quick speed, or go over a bump while trying to turn, the chance of a rollover would just skyrocket LOL
