If you sign into GT6 on or after your birthday you get a present. The car you receive is from the year you were born. I will remain grateful for the present but surely there were other cars released in 1972!
Super Licence S-5
The last of the Super Licence tests and it’s to Ronda in Spain and the Ascari race circuit in a Bugatti Veyron. A big heavy car with loads of power.
Times required:
- Gold 2:14
- Silver 2:16
- Bronze 2:20
Here’s the car at the start line [I’ve been playing with the photographic settings within GT6].
A map of the track:
The start line is inbetween KZ1 and Rafael.
Progress was as follows:
Lap 1 – 2:30:848
Lap 2 – off 1/4 of the way around (Copse).
Lap 3 – Off at Rafael.
Lap 4 – Off 2/3 way (Sebring).
Lap 5 – Off KZ1, too fast on exit.
Lap 6 – 2:18:833 Bronze.
Lap 7 – 2:16:873.
Lap 8 – Off at Copse.
Lap 9 – Off at Senna S.
lap 10 – Off at Copse.
Lap 11 – Off at The Screw.
Lap 12 – Off at Oulton.
Lap 13 – Off at Sebring.
Lap 14 – Off at Brundle.
Lap 15 – Off at Senna S.
Lap 16 – Off at The Screw.
There now followed 6 laps where I didn’t record my progress. I was getting frustrated and just wanted to keep trying rather than write down everything.
Lap 23 – 2:14:526 Silver.
Again, there is a recording intermission of 6 laps of frustration.
Lap 30 – 2:13:583 GOLD.
I have all GOLD for all my Super Licence tests. Good job.
I did get some reward cars, but didn’t note them down. The next time I turn the PS3 on I’ll have a look and try to remember to write them down here, because you care about that sort of thing.
All the pictures on this page came from my fastest lap. I do like how I got airborne at Rafael (the first corner). After watching the replay I can see plenty of apexes I missed and areas to improve my time if I so wished, but I probably don’t.
Pigeon Check Update
The “pigeon-check” is not longer necessary. See this communication. My place of work (see the EXIF data in the photo) has installed pigeon-spikes along the top of the building and so the level of poop has decreased to zero. Win!
