40K? Maybe 40K USD but in CAD just a CrewMax 4x4 Tundra (2022 model) without any bells and whistles starts at over 50K. However I guess not everyone needs a crew cab, even then, the regular cab and only 2x4 drive costs $44,990 without any additional options without any taxes applied

[@andreww5773]

Judging by how Tundras are used in real life.. the setup is actually pretty realistic.

Eventually decided it was impossible and gave up but instantly rejected my failure and tried one more time. Nailed the gold by 0.051, on the previous attempt I was 0.051 over. Such a good feeling. Then I felt like an idiot after reading the test was glitched lol

[@eamonnparsons3155]

This was about my experience on the Dirt IB license test. I played it shortly after update 1.06 and didn't realise the tyres were wrong, I just thought for some reason it was exceptionally difficult. It took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes to finally get the gold time with that Mitsubishi. It was only when I went to do the IA license test and saw the Racing tyres that I questioned it and realised the mistake.

[@TheYGrizzly]

The mission with the audi s1 trying to pass 3 cars was also really hard now with comfort tires. Really fun to slide the car around but for getting the gold time I decided to wait for fix

It was pretty hilarious when I tried this test; I was cruising through the tests, and then I said "What the hell is wrong with me?"

Same. Breezed through every test until I came upon this one. At least 70 tries lated and the fastest time I get is about 19.7.

Did the tundra mission before the update luckily..not the other ones. The mission with the evo and the jeep are not impossible but SUPER hard..so keep going if you are struggling there, you'll get it eventually :) Tip from me, with the evo, slide as little as possble and treat it more like a car in the wet..stick to the racing line and keep close to the apex, especially in the last 2 corners, where you can gain a ton of time. With the jeep, keep it wide on the entry of the first corner and use that momentum to overtake the 1st one. Try to get him just before the white signs to your right and then yeet yourself into the second one, the first one should then take care of itself..but feel free to yeet into that one too to guarantee the win, like my man senna The ford focus is utterly impossible believe me..take the corners as carefully as possible and go for bronze to pass it but don't expect gold before this is patched. Unless you can, in which case, what are you doing playing GT7? You have a wrc to win, get back in the car!
