does anyone have the S lisence yet. I find it extremley difficult to get. I have passed 3 of the tests in it.

In GT2 The S lisence was fairly easy to get.

also any tips on how to get it?

The S Licence is not that difficult to pass - i found it much simpler than that in GT2 - i sweated blood on the viper then but here the Viper is so simple (the car has so much grip and has the race setup it has if you went and bought it)
and *the wet one (the old corrolla) is not difficult either (i passed both first time-honest) so i recommend those first

the one with the MX5 Mazda is like a slow Viper test from GT (back it off to about 100kph thru the first tunnel - max it in second for the first right hander - then use the rail at the foot of the straight - the only problem then is holding your speed on the left hander at the foot of the hill). *

The Penzoil Skyline - the only problem is it gets very tail happy at the hairpin into the tunnel - but controlled acceleration will take you thru' - other wise its a straight forward run around the track and you can even use the normal racing braking points

the only difficult ones are the GT40 in Seattle (no traction underbreaking) so slow down very early and just find a nice flow.

the final one is an ackward bugger - the GT-one in Monaco. *The car has NO traction and will spin at the drop of a hat - imagine the Speed 12 in GT2 on real-life tyres and you are close.
use the analogue throttle and dont let it get into first gear - else it will spin and once you get the test the last race in pro league opens
- THE F1 RACE - 10 race series.

i sat down last night and passed the S licence in about an hour and a half would have been quicker but its hard to see the corners sometimes if the ghost car is in front - but if you are close on the time - its nice to see it in the mirror far behind you and just a little extra - the GT-one road car can enter the untuned PD cup
and you race vipers, 'vettes and skylines and evos - sweet

no point trying to get better than the bronzes as the cars available are those that you can win on the races

Weird how people find completely different tests difficult... for me the VIPER one stumped me for ages but I got bronze on the SEATTLE test within 15 minutes.

Maybe its due to the types of car you get used to using in the main game... I could never get the Viper to stay on the track in GT2 so have stayed well clear of it in GT3, opting for a souped-up Renault Clio for a good section of the game due to its stability - the Viper could not be more different to this in the way it handles, so you kind of have to re-learn for the S-Test that uses it. It took me day and days before I fluked a bronze on that one :) Conversely the GT40 hadles like the Clio, so it was a doddle.

For the rainy track I just watched the demo and switched to the same view I use for racing (the one where the car is in front of you) so I could memorize track position and braking points for the corners... again this one was done in about 30 mins.

Got it! Worked on it for 4 hours after my last post. So, total time was about 4 1/2 hrs.
It helped me to turn on the ghost when I had close finish, like 1 second or less.

S-8 is bullcrap! That ain't no car! It's a fricken uncontrolled balistic missile!! What the hey is that all about!
Oh Well, now I can go play with the F1's.
