bro the one with the wrx made me want to throw my controller i barely tap the wall it’s game over while on the next turn i scrap the wall 4 times it’s not over like what
The thing that really helped me was turning off my own ghost, and turning on the demonstration ghost. I got gold first time on every sector on Deep Forest after turning on demonstration ghost, whereas i had been floundering with my own ghost for about 40 mins on a single sector previously. Edit: Put the demonstration ghost at a 0.2 offset, and essentially just play keep up with it.
@@jamin3131 Press on settings on the bottom bar just before you start the run, and scroll down to Ghost settings. You should be able to turn off player ghost, and turn on Demonstration ghost. You can also set your offset there as well.
Dylan...your struggle reminds me of one of...the hardest challenges ever...in the GT series...GT4 specifically...and the challenge was mission #34. Its basically a one lap event on Nurburgring Nordschleife...where you get to drive the badass Mercedes Benz SLR...on COMFORT tires...and you get like a 2minute delayed start...and have to pass 8-10 other Mercedes who have a head start on you. It took me literally months. But the good thing is it helped me learn the track quite well! 👍
I’ve got gold in all license, missions, and I’m about 50% done with circuit experience (including nordschleife) and only started since the update. The one thing that took me from not getting gold on certain missions and license, to now easily doing it was watching the demonstration. I would try over and over and never get gold and the reason was because I just didn’t know the best line. There are curbs on tracks that are crucial for you to hop, cut, or ride and if you don’t you simply won’t be fast enough. I personally didn’t see those curbs until I watched the demonstrations.
@@liamcdm3689 sector 8 of the Nordschleife circuit experience for sure. There was also a license or mission that had that same section too. I think it has the most turns out of all the sectors. Very technical.
The thing that helped me the most was watching the demonstration and literally trying to copy what they do frame by frame, gear by gear, braking by braking and it seems to have worked on the few tracks i've done it so far.
Good tips that, reinforcing the old "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" moto Definitely be trying the full lap first one, I usually just do them in order. Thanks 👍
great points here - i've just come back to GT after a huge break (all the way from GT3) and within the first two weeks of play I've managed to gold everything up to Super License test 2, and I've intuitively been applying almost everything you've talked about here (amazing TC tip btw, i'll be implementing that one for sure). the big game changer for me was removing the ghost altogether and allowing myself to let go and really get into a flow. the personal ghost became a massive distraction, and now i put the demonstration ghost up with a 0.4s gap for those moments where i'm trying to work out how to gain a 10th here and there.
Mate a different perspective is what I needed as I was seriously struggling with these. The first point you make is the last I think most of us would’ve thought of trying, counter intuitive but as soon as I booted the game up, straight onto the Nurburg GP circuit, boshed a gold lap out and then went backwards through the sectors being fresher in my mind, gold on all of them in a matter of 20 minutes as opposed to 2 days of trying!! Thanks for the tip love it, I’m left scratching my head feeling silly as to why I didn’t think of this sooner ha.
Yeah setting your ghost ahead does kind of help. Since it will almost always beat you, you know you aren't necessarily slower. It also helps you see areas where you may be faster or slower as you repeat laps, and sectors.
Well spoken vid and I agree that’s it’s easy to copy others rather than be creative; genuine. I’ve seen this even in my own means of creating content. I’m still getting the feel of the higher powered cars (practicing doing rain driving). I didn’t know I could just jump to the lap itself, because in previous series it’s always locked. Man you are a lifesaver!!! I posted a video of one of my practice runs on a wet track and it does confirm the show boat cruise concept. Greatly appreciate your tips and content!!!
I had so much trouble with Autopolis. The GT500s are fine for me on long flowing sections but the last sector with the decreasing radius turns really bring out the understeer if I'm not careful.
This is why I love the channel. The average guide for this type of stuff would mention stuff like "Always focus on the driving line" or "Slow in, fast out", or " Find the right braking points", basically stuff that applies to time attacks in general. This video showcases the mental side of getting it right. We are human beings, and we tend to overthink things and easily get frustrated even if we know all the basics. We need to slow things down and sometimes, breaks are not enough. That's not to say the tips here aren't full proof. I managed to Gold most of Suzuka with relative ease by going in reverse order, but I still struggled with Sector 1 a lot (even getting the famous .001 off time off gold). But it was far, far better for me to start with full lap then with going in order.
The third tip also applies to any high power AI race, if not using dynamic TCS controls, don't push the rev into red line and short shifting does make the car easier to deal with, sometime stable just go faster than taking risk and pushing limits as pros do.
Very good tips. You’re not the fastest driver ever and I’m not even fast enough to be on CZcams but anyone will undoubtedly be more proficient by practicing and really just trying to apply yourself to the mission
I didn’t even know you can do full lap attack without clearing the sector’s! That’s crazy! Because exactly you said, short sector times doesn’t allow the player to get used to the car initially
The circuit experience is broken. The time of day is different in the demonstration compared to doing your own run. I noticed that the demonstration runs are during the midday and when you attempt a run it's around sunset which makes the track grip different for each.
The time of day does not affect the grip in the game, only the weather. This is even the same in the demonstrations for the licences, are you saying they are broken as well?
This game forced me to buy a wheel. Controller was just not accurate enough. I guess I’m officially in the sim racing world now. Great tips. I’ll take all the help I can get! Thank you for these.
I'm experiencing the same thing with my controller. I feel like I can do better with a wheel. How's it going for you? And what wheel did you get, or recommend.
Really great advice, particularly the ghost, which I have always found off putting in every version of GT. As you said,you end up trying to beat your own mistakes by making even more.
Great tips in this video. My tip would be being in the correct gear when exiting a turn. Something that I am doing is experimenting with a higher gear when exiting a corner because not only does it mean you are faster, also the car is my stable and less likely to spin out.
@@thelastheraldofmarvelcomic1981 Be careful some of the cars have weird gearing, like the race car on Brand's. Sometimes the lower rev of the higher gear gives more power than changing gears for a higher rev.
1:50 For the Last first aspect I think it also applies to GT5 AMG Academy, the full lap trial is less stressed than segments, and you're feeling more time to gain/recover over a full lap time trial.
I like too have the ghost for the reason is that I like too see which corner I can improve in or if I’m exiting wrong, and also if I’m doing unnecessary braking or going too fast… I see the ghost more to where I can improve not race against it.
This was awesome.. I've been getting so frustrated man. Spending unnecessary money on cars and upgrades thinking this was the trick. as for the super license.. I'm going to follow his advice for that last mission.
Ok,so I tried your method on trial mountain and went from the lap attack first and had no issues going backwards except for section 2. I had some issues with this one but then got gold. First sector was a breeze afterwards. This method has peaked my interest. Will try other tracks now....
Still have to start all of the circuit experiences, thanks for the tips. The first tip i already thought about myself. Gonna give it a go soon, hope they are managable with the controller. Greetings 🏁
I have managed to do 6 tracks (all golds) so far with a controller, Deep Forest gave me the hardest time so far. I wouldn't call myself a pro by any means, this is my first GT since GT3. It's great watching videos like this and reading the comments, it helps alot. Good luck to you mate!
A useful tip from another channel is to go into ghost settings, turn of your ghost and turn on the demo ghost. That way you are trying to emulate what should be the optimum run
awesome tips!!!! especially innovate not immitate. cant remember how many times already ive gotten pissed at why i cant beat my ghost. then i watch the demo 10 times on repeat and first try my next run.... your own ghost is sometime the worst thing to follow and better to turn it off thank you
Tested your theory. I think it's got to do with how close you have to be in a sector vs over the lap. The added bonus is that it leads to less 'overdriving the car'.
I'm also using breaking balance a lot! It helped me quickly get gold in my last 2 circuit experiences, and I'm keen to keep that and, if necessary, TC on 1 for CE such as Streets of Willow Springs, good grief this one is a pain
The tracks I've rattled up and down in Sport mode, like Nürbugring GP, Spa, Deep Forrest or Interlagos I usually manage on the first try. The Nordschleife cost me a lot of nerves and about 3 hours of my life, even though I know the track so well.
I dont know if it is obvious, but I recommend turning every assist off except tcs and abs. After I made this change I got Gold on 11 tracks in a single afternoon. Currently 100% done. Also setting the ghost on personla best worh 0,5 second off set was what worked for me!
These are all really good tips. A couple observations I've had: Tip 1 - another reason the full lap should be done first is that the sector tests often start at different speeds from the speed you'd be going on a full lap. So you could endlessly run a sector to finally get gold, then when you get to that sector in your full lap, you're going 25MPH faster and crash immediately. Though, I will say they can sometimes come in handy when a course has a tricky final sector (Dragon Trail) and you want to learn how to navigate it properly instead of repeatedly blowing perfect laps in the last sector. Tip 4 - I like to have my ghost on, but I don't offset it so that I'm "chasing" it. I keep it even with the current run so that I can use it as an instant reference for whether or not the current run is going well. It's a lot quicker and easier than having to pay attention to sector times. I would add a personal Tip 5: Watch the demonstration lap. This makes it much easier to learn braking points and helps you learn a track's quirks. You might learn a racing line that cuts a chicane in way you didn't think was possible, so you would have never been able to "figure out" the track on a blind run.
I’m going to have another crack at the gold on circuit de sante-croix tomorrow with these tips. Definitely guilty of racing my own ghost and it’s causing me no end of frustration. I’m very marginally outside the gold time for this one and it’s been doing my head in, feels very unforgiving on the gold time because of how fast the Bugatti is and how quick you can take a lot of the corners. Hoping I finally do it tomorrow!
If you are gonna enable a ghost use the demo ghost. And what I always do is drive a few times and after a bit watch the demo to see what the actual racing line is and where the demo breaks/lifts of the gas etc.
We discussed already, your pad gaming must be sublimed. I remember you said you got sll gold in the S license. That is a tough go for me! I did gold the others but the repetitivness involved was time consuming. Now with that said, I will take your advice. Thank you Awesome video!!
traction control is better in gt7 compared to gt sport. in gt sport it would slow down your gear shifts, doesn't do so in gt7. in most situations I use traction setting on 1, with some exceptions that it hinders having it on such as on MR cars around spa. driving fast is often about being able to put your foot fully down on the throttle as early as possible, and you can do that earlier with traction on, because with throttle + traction is allows you to straighten the car out as early as possible without losing traction. a+ driver here additionally, real life racing cars in most catagories use traction control and for good reason
@@17peteclarke I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way. I tried that challenge and the handling is…. Idk. Cars aren’t hard to drive and I don’t know why games thinks they’re “real” when making racecars uncomfortable to drive
I'm late to the party. I was able to get my PS5 only recently during Christmas 2022. Anyway, just want to share that I love doing these Circuit Experience challenges. So far, for the tracks that I've done the Circuit Experience on, I'm able to get all gold. I agree with your first point, which is doing the full lap first in some shapes or forms. My way for going about it is to race in some of the events on that track for a few times. That helps me to get familiar with the full course and start to have a sense of the flow. Generally, just by doing races, I can feel whether a corner is a early or late apex corner, whether I need to lift or full throttle..etc. Then when I start doing the sector portions of the Circuit Experience, I'm literally "improving" my racing corner by corner, instead of "learning" the corner completely from scratch. The other thing I also agree with is that I found it counterproductive using my own best ghost. My own ghost shows where I made mistakes, but it doesn't tell me how my improvements can be achieved. I now only use the default gold ghost where it teaches me the proper lines and braking points. The best way to set up the gold ghost is to have it ahead of your car by about 0.3 of a second, and you can follow the lines and braking points without the ghost blocking the view.
I got to the full lap of the Laguna Seca Circuit Experience and no matter how hard I try I just can't get the gold. And I've been playing Gran Turismo since GT2. I've just excepted that I can't do it and went on to earn credits through the Tokyo grind. At least I know for certain I'll get that.
I got 3/4 to complete..the rest I've gotten all gold..and I like to think of myself as a pro (meaning I know every corner of every track very well indeed)..but this video has been really helpful..I definitely am going to try the nurbergring in a minute to see if I'm any quicker..but one other thing that I'm unsure of that might help is,in options-lower the difficulty to easy...anyway I be back soon to let ye know..
@@DB-ls2zi um, I did, and tried what he did. Furthermore, the demos don't actually explain the track, they just show a car driving. It still may be useful, but it'd be better if the demo actually had actual instructions and hints like Sport did. You really think I didn't watch it?
@@johnnymack923 that's exactly what I've been trying. No matter what I do, I can't get the angle right without braking too much, hitting the wall, or steering too hard coming out- I use a controller, so...but I've probably tried 20-30 times and drive maybe 40-50miles trying to save those last milliseconds.
I 100% all the circuits gold on gran turismo sport. I never had to look up a video, the circuit experiences I feel got a lot harder since that game. Am I the only one feeling this way? I got the game 2 days ago after I was done playing gt sport. I’ve been able to do a couple of them but others, even if the track was in gt sport, feels significantly harder than in the previous game.
I have a thought on #3 which prompted this comment. As you gain more experience, you begin to realize that this is how you're supposed to drive a race car. Your pace needs to be quick, of course. But people unaware of how to drive fast, much less compete in a race, think that means "go faster" and "take more risks". In actuality, the most important thing for a race car driver is consistency. Once you become consistent everything begins to feel much smoother, more like a cruise. Only when you've found that "comfort threshold" should you begin to find time in your pace. My food for thought on this is... there's a number out there for your lap that can't be outpaced. But pushing too hard to reach that number can cause you to lose seconds off that pace. Don't drive trying to find time, drive trying not to lose time. The first thing you do is find a pace you can repeat comfortably. You may find that pace is already pretty quick, but you give yourself an opportunity to get used to the car and course (similar to the purpose of tip #1). By the time you're there you already know where you think you can be faster, and where you're struggling to keep the pace you have. That's when you start working on gaining back that time you're losing. Professional drivers (even in the sim racing world) can do this rapidly, being that it's something they naturally do anyway, and usually their beginning pace will be quicker than your average driver. As it is it used to take me much longer to come to a track green and get up to pace, where now I can put up a decently competitive lap with no prior experience on the track in about 15 minutes. I thought this perspective might help someone understand this tip a little better.
I was stuck on Laguna for a while, on a controller. In the end I had to turn TCS off and pactice throttle control and after a few more attempts beat the gold time by 0.8 seconds. TCS Off, Automatic Gears, ASM Off, Steering Assist Off, ABS Default. Just hit the Apex on all the corners and try to avoid going wide anywhere.
I guess my patience is non existing. Why is it even build up like that? "because I just want to play with racecars" Back in the days (early gran turismo), I took the minolta 88 around nordschleife in 5:16:233, those were the days, when the physics were something that you could handle. I like gran turismo, have played it since the first came out, and ONLY that game, all other games, including racing, doesnt work for me, ONLY gran turismo, this latest edition makes me disappointed,…. "because I just want to play with racecars" Today, I thought, " Iˋll take the chance, and try the nordschleife circuit experience" All those "experiences" and the license tests are necessary evils to me "because I just want to play with racecars" and therefore, you should only have to do every sector once, before you have the gold, or even better, that they were not there. But I gave it a chance. I have "driven" literally thousands of laps on that circuit, knows every corner, every bump, but that is not enough,….. apparently. Did the first 8 sectors, the car is setup like a bag of potatoes, so, no chance to just drive it, you have to wrestle it, did my best, which is not god enough, and got bronze, by a hair! Started sector 9, and never managed to finish it, before running of the track! 4 times in a row! Result? : got mad, and very sad/frustrated, turned the PS off, and all that,: "because I just want to play with racecars" I havent got the patience, OR the time for this, because you have to "grind" credits enough to keep up with the car dealers offers. So right now, and probably for a looong time ( if I dont quit it completely before that) I only drive the le mans race that pays of, and sometimes, just to do something else, the daytona roadtrack 800pp, both races I prefer to do in a gr.2 car, again, I dont want to wrestle the car, and I want a clean race bonus every time, because anything else is a waste of my time. "because I just want to play with racecars",……… BUT!! I guess I just never will get these "challenges" done in the game, that including all dirt/rally races, all drifting, and all wet things. And I was so stupid to buy the 25 anniversary edition, and only have access to a third of the game,…. the on-line part is also a no-go, I dont like other people, especially not when they drive dirty. Not all of us are "pro youtubers, sim-racing demi-gods", we (I) are on the easy setting, still, and (god forbid this!) I am using the TCS 🫢 "because I just want to play with racecars" Sorry for this "rant", I just had to get it out of my system.
I'm trying to gold le mans circuit... i'm with pad now and i have always raced without helps. Here i had to activate them! I've finished the sectors in gold but for the lap i only got silver! Did somebody notice that in the sector sometimes at the start the gear is different?
So is it possible to get gold on "lap demostrations" using the only a pad and not necesseraly by using steering wheel? Cos in missions or license tests is easy to get silver or even gold but I'm struggling a lot with demos, always blocked in bronze with just a couple of silvers.
The Nurburgring Nordscheliefe is stumping me really bad rn. I have a 6:40 time rn as my record and I need to shave 3 seconds off of that to get gold. I’ve tried the 0 TCS but it wasn’t improving for me. Honestly, I’m just confused as to how and where I’m losing time on that circuit. Any advice would be nice!
@@RunningOn7CylindersYT- ya you can actually do it without straddling those bumps, which is hard to do without launching your car off course lol. But ya I did it just with very clean lines lots of speed through corners and on corner exits. Extremely difficult challenge.
Hey, thanks for the tips. I am currently working on beating the Nurburgring circuit experience, I got all the sectors gold, but I just can't get that lap attack on gold, I am 3 seconds behind and I was just wondering, do I need to manually shift gears or is it okay if I keep it automatic?
2nd one (TCS "cheat") & last1 (differ your approach) are the best advice. 1st one You considered most important is not actually that relevant, when you know all tracks like the back of your hand (which many of us GT veterans do). Btw I consider the rally track experiences the easiest. It's either me playing a lot of rally games in my life, or they're in fact the easiest.
I find it quite the opposite. When racing my own ghost, I can see what risks to take and actively try to beat it. I just wish it would save your best ghost, so it's always there, but unfortunately, the ghost is deleted after every game session.
Tokyo Expressway… you’re going to need a few backup controllers for these ones
Ya, the slightest brush against a barrier and it's game over.
I want to delete the game because of this track🤣
Lol i did circuit exp cuz i was like, ive played GT for long enough.. Tokyo will be no big deal... 💀
ohhh boy i was wrong
bro the one with the wrx made me want to throw my controller i barely tap the wall it’s game over while on the next turn i scrap the wall 4 times it’s not over like what
The fourth tip makes a lot of sense - I actually turned off ghost in these because I felt I was aiming for the wrong thing by trying to beat it
I turn of my ghost and turn on the demo ghost to see where I've been going wrong if I'm struggling
The thing that really helped me was turning off my own ghost, and turning on the demonstration ghost. I got gold first time on every sector on Deep Forest after turning on demonstration ghost, whereas i had been floundering with my own ghost for about 40 mins on a single sector previously.

should be added to the video)
good luck to everyone going for the nurburgring gold, took me a solid 4 hours of attempts but the credits are finally worth the challenge

Took me 2 days on the controller 🤣
Dang, I'm dreading the point I get to nurburgring

Ditto, but dam was it a good feeling when I finally got that gold. Took me 5-6 hours haha

As an amateur who's played some Gran Turismo games, these tips helped me a lot
I like too have the ghost for the reason is that I like too see which corner I can improve in or if I’m exiting wrong, and also if I’m doing unnecessary braking or going too fast… I see the ghost more to where I can improve not race against it.
I learned that fourth tip the hard way. You elaborated it nicely.
This was awesome.. I've been getting so frustrated man. Spending unnecessary money on cars and upgrades thinking this was the trick. as for the super license.. I'm going to follow his advice for that last mission.
Ok,so I tried your method on trial mountain and went from the lap attack first and had no issues going backwards except for section 2. I had some issues with this one but then got gold. First sector was a breeze afterwards. This method has peaked my interest. Will try other tracks now....
Tip 4 is golden, used it on Deep Forest CE full lap last night b4 I watched this today. Used the demo ghost instead :)
Still have to start all of the circuit experiences, thanks for the tips. The first tip i already thought about myself. Gonna give it a go soon, hope they are managable with the controller. Greetings 🏁
I have managed to do 6 tracks (all golds) so far with a controller, Deep Forest gave me the hardest time so far.
I wouldn't call myself a pro by any means, this is my first GT since GT3. It's great watching videos like this and reading the comments, it helps alot. Good luck to you mate!
@@pelnapkins4379 thanks!
Great tips! I set my ghost the max 2 seconds ahead. I tend to be faster and smoother when I’m chasing another car.
Great advise HSG! Especially #4!!! I'm no doubt, MY WORST ENEMY-LOL!!! Thanks! 👍😎
A useful tip from another channel is to go into ghost settings, turn of your ghost and turn on the demo ghost. That way you are trying to emulate what should be the optimum run
awesome tips!!!! especially innovate not immitate. cant remember how many times already ive gotten pissed at why i cant beat my ghost. then i watch the demo 10 times on repeat and first try my next run.... your own ghost is sometime the worst thing to follow and better to turn it off thank you
Tested your theory. I think it's got to do with how close you have to be in a sector vs over the lap. The added bonus is that it leads to less 'overdriving the car'.
Great video, thanks muchly ... especially agree with your "innovate' comments!
I'm also using breaking balance a lot! It helped me quickly get gold in my last 2 circuit experiences, and I'm keen to keep that and, if necessary, TC on 1 for CE such as Streets of Willow Springs, good grief this one is a pain
The Lancia track?
I absolutely love this video man. You helped me a lot, I can’t say it enough
these are some solid tips that make a lot off sense! gonna try them from now on!
Excellent video pal. Number 4 especially. Thanks!
number 4 is crucial, i struggled a lot and got angry often tryna beat my ghost, until i turned it off and it made it so much better / easier
The tracks I've rattled up and down in Sport mode, like Nürbugring GP, Spa, Deep Forrest or Interlagos I usually manage on the first try.
The Nordschleife cost me a lot of nerves and about 3 hours of my life, even though I know the track so well.
woah! first circuit experience I did I jumped straight to the full lap and smashed it. i don't know why i haven't done the rest after though :D
I dont know if it is obvious, but I recommend turning every assist off except tcs and abs. After I made this change I got Gold on 11 tracks in a single afternoon. Currently 100% done. Also setting the ghost on personla best worh 0,5 second off set was what worked for me!
Why dont they add prize for all silver? Im constantly getting silvers on circuit experiences but getting prize only for bronze which is frustrating
Thanks for the advice, defs going to try it tonight. :)
These are all really good tips. A couple observations I've had:
Tip 1 - another reason the full lap should be done first is that the sector tests often start at different speeds from the speed you'd be going on a full lap. So you could endlessly run a sector to finally get gold, then when you get to that sector in your full lap, you're going 25MPH faster and crash immediately. Though, I will say they can sometimes come in handy when a course has a tricky final sector (Dragon Trail) and you want to learn how to navigate it properly instead of repeatedly blowing perfect laps in the last sector.
Tip 4 - I like to have my ghost on, but I don't offset it so that I'm "chasing" it. I keep it even with the current run so that I can use it as an instant reference for whether or not the current run is going well. It's a lot quicker and easier than having to pay attention to sector times.
I would add a personal Tip 5: Watch the demonstration lap. This makes it much easier to learn braking points and helps you learn a track's quirks. You might learn a racing line that cuts a chicane in way you didn't think was possible, so you would have never been able to "figure out" the track on a blind run.
So true not just in racing. Thank you so much this video is a very meaningful creation.
I’m going to have another crack at the gold on circuit de sante-croix tomorrow with these tips. Definitely guilty of racing my own ghost and it’s causing me no end of frustration. I’m very marginally outside the gold time for this one and it’s been doing my head in, feels very unforgiving on the gold time because of how fast the Bugatti is and how quick you can take a lot of the corners. Hoping I finally do it tomorrow!
If you are gonna enable a ghost use the demo ghost. And what I always do is drive a few times and after a bit watch the demo to see what the actual racing line is and where the demo breaks/lifts of the gas etc.
I'm belgian so mastering spa was an absolute necessity lol
For the first one, I don't personally use this strategy. But I can see the appeal
We discussed already, your pad gaming must be sublimed. I remember you said you got sll gold in the S license. That is a tough go for me!
I did gold the others but the repetitivness involved was time consuming.
Now with that said, I will take your advice.
Thank you
Awesome video!!
traction control is better in gt7 compared to gt sport. in gt sport it would slow down your gear shifts, doesn't do so in gt7. in most situations I use traction setting on 1, with some exceptions that it hinders having it on such as on MR cars around spa. driving fast is often about being able to put your foot fully down on the throttle as early as possible, and you can do that earlier with traction on, because with throttle + traction is allows you to straighten the car out as early as possible without losing traction. a+ driver here
additionally, real life racing cars in most catagories use traction control and for good reason
oh and 110% use traction control on at least 1 with the BMW around the nordschleife for the love of god. it does not drive like a gt3 car at all
@@17peteclarke I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way. I tried that challenge and the handling is…. Idk. Cars aren’t hard to drive and I don’t know why games thinks they’re “real” when making racecars uncomfortable to drive
I'm late to the party. I was able to get my PS5 only recently during Christmas 2022. Anyway, just want to share that I love doing these Circuit Experience challenges. So far, for the tracks that I've done the Circuit Experience on, I'm able to get all gold. I agree with your first point, which is doing the full lap first in some shapes or forms. My way for going about it is to race in some of the events on that track for a few times. That helps me to get familiar with the full course and start to have a sense of the flow. Generally, just by doing races, I can feel whether a corner is a early or late apex corner, whether I need to lift or full throttle..etc. Then when I start doing the sector portions of the Circuit Experience, I'm literally "improving" my racing corner by corner, instead of "learning" the corner completely from scratch. The other thing I also agree with is that I found it counterproductive using my own best ghost. My own ghost shows where I made mistakes, but it doesn't tell me how my improvements can be achieved. I now only use the default gold ghost where it teaches me the proper lines and braking points. The best way to set up the gold ghost is to have it ahead of your car by about 0.3 of a second, and you can follow the lines and braking points without the ghost blocking the view.
Never thought of this before
Who else is having the issue on windmills dirt track getting gold in the full track because of the last jumps
Lightly tap the brake before them, it's annoying because you want to go through there as fast as possible but it helps
I got to the full lap of the Laguna Seca Circuit Experience and no matter how hard I try I just can't get the gold. And I've been playing Gran Turismo since GT2. I've just excepted that I can't do it and went on to earn credits through the Tokyo grind. At least I know for certain I'll get that.
I use the demo ghost with a slight offset, if I'm near it I know that I've won.
I got 3/4 to complete..the rest I've gotten all gold..and I like to think of myself as a pro (meaning I know every corner of every track very well indeed)..but this video has been really helpful..I definitely am going to try the nurbergring in a minute to see if I'm any quicker..but one other thing that I'm unsure of that might help is,in options-lower the difficulty to easy...anyway I be back soon to let ye know..
TY I followed tip#1. Oh lord ty
High speed ring is surprisingly difficult. The last sector I can't seem to shave off the last .24 seconds needed for gold
Watch the demonstration
@@DB-ls2zi um, I did, and tried what he did. Furthermore, the demos don't actually explain the track, they just show a car driving. It still may be useful, but it'd be better if the demo actually had actual instructions and hints like Sport did. You really think I didn't watch it?
The video is actually what helped me go from bronze to silver, as I stopped following the line and drove on the outside rather than inside.
@@1granturismo its all about the last corner, take as much speed into it as you can and stay on the outside
@@johnnymack923 that's exactly what I've been trying. No matter what I do, I can't get the angle right without braking too much, hitting the wall, or steering too hard coming out- I use a controller, so...but I've probably tried 20-30 times and drive maybe 40-50miles trying to save those last milliseconds.
Thanks man im not that good at track racing games so it was really annoying only getting bronze and silver
I 100% all the circuits gold on gran turismo sport. I never had to look up a video, the circuit experiences I feel got a lot harder since that game. Am I the only one feeling this way? I got the game 2 days ago after I was done playing gt sport. I’ve been able to do a couple of them but others, even if the track was in gt sport, feels significantly harder than in the previous game.
I have a thought on #3 which prompted this comment.
As you gain more experience, you begin to realize that this is how you're supposed to drive a race car. Your pace needs to be quick, of course. But people unaware of how to drive fast, much less compete in a race, think that means "go faster" and "take more risks".
In actuality, the most important thing for a race car driver is consistency. Once you become consistent everything begins to feel much smoother, more like a cruise. Only when you've found that "comfort threshold" should you begin to find time in your pace.
My food for thought on this is... there's a number out there for your lap that can't be outpaced. But pushing too hard to reach that number can cause you to lose seconds off that pace. Don't drive trying to find time, drive trying not to lose time.
The first thing you do is find a pace you can repeat comfortably. You may find that pace is already pretty quick, but you give yourself an opportunity to get used to the car and course (similar to the purpose of tip #1). By the time you're there you already know where you think you can be faster, and where you're struggling to keep the pace you have. That's when you start working on gaining back that time you're losing.
Professional drivers (even in the sim racing world) can do this rapidly, being that it's something they naturally do anyway, and usually their beginning pace will be quicker than your average driver. As it is it used to take me much longer to come to a track green and get up to pace, where now I can put up a decently competitive lap with no prior experience on the track in about 15 minutes.
I thought this perspective might help someone understand this tip a little better.
Great advice for life as well.
Disagree with ghost, else turn ghost 1 s ahead and try to catch him ... That's works for me. And do the demonstration as is always faster than gold
Oh the laguna seca one lap challenge with a Viper gives me headache 😅
I'm struggling on final sector at le man's it's a nightmare
The only really difficult ones are the ones where the car has a terrible handling flaw such as the Viper in Laguna Seca.
Yeah the Viper did erk me for a while
The Laguna Seca one is the one I'm stuck on right now
Same here, I golded the individual sections quite easily but I just cannot get a good time on the full lap.
I was stuck on Laguna for a while, on a controller. In the end I had to turn TCS off and pactice throttle control and after a few more attempts beat the gold time by 0.8 seconds. TCS Off, Automatic Gears, ASM Off, Steering Assist Off, ABS Default. Just hit the Apex on all the corners and try to avoid going wide anywhere.
I would love to get gold on all the circuits. But they built most of the tracks on this game around steering wheels and pedals not controllers
Good luck to everyone going for Gold on Northern Isle Speedway - it took me 20 seconds.
Use the TC 1. Easy win. It cuts the cars wheels from spinning. traction control setting 1.
look at the demos too
I guess my patience is non existing.
Why is it even build up like that?
"because I just want to play with racecars"
Back in the days (early gran turismo), I took the minolta 88 around nordschleife in 5:16:233, those were the days, when the physics were something that you could handle.
I like gran turismo, have played it since the first came out, and ONLY that game, all other games, including racing, doesnt work for me, ONLY gran turismo, this latest edition makes me disappointed,….
"because I just want to play with racecars"
Today, I thought, " Iˋll take the chance, and try the nordschleife circuit experience"
All those "experiences" and the license tests are necessary evils to me
"because I just want to play with racecars"
and therefore, you should only have to do every sector once, before you have the gold, or even better, that they were not there.
But I gave it a chance.
I have "driven" literally thousands of laps on that circuit, knows every corner, every bump, but that is not enough,….. apparently.
Did the first 8 sectors, the car is setup like a bag of potatoes, so, no chance to just drive it, you have to wrestle it, did my best, which is not god enough, and got bronze, by a hair!
Started sector 9, and never managed to finish it, before running of the track! 4 times in a row!
Result? : got mad, and very sad/frustrated, turned the PS off, and all that,:
"because I just want to play with racecars"
I havent got the patience, OR the time for this, because you have to "grind" credits enough to keep up with the car dealers offers.
So right now, and probably for a looong time ( if I dont quit it completely before that) I only drive the le mans race that pays of, and sometimes, just to do something else, the daytona roadtrack 800pp, both races I prefer to do in a gr.2 car, again, I dont want to wrestle the car, and I want a clean race bonus every time, because anything else is a waste of my time.
"because I just want to play with racecars",………
BUT!! I guess I just never will get these "challenges" done in the game, that including all dirt/rally races, all drifting, and all wet things.
And I was so stupid to buy the 25 anniversary edition, and only have access to a third of the game,….
the on-line part is also a no-go, I dont like other people, especially not when they drive dirty.
Not all of us are "pro youtubers, sim-racing demi-gods", we (I) are on the easy setting, still, and (god forbid this!) I am using the TCS 🫢
"because I just want to play with racecars"
Sorry for this "rant", I just had to get it out of my system.
I'm trying to gold le mans circuit... i'm with pad now and i have always raced without helps. Here i had to activate them! I've finished the sectors in gold but for the lap i only got silver!
Did somebody notice that in the sector sometimes at the start the gear is different?
So is it possible to get gold on "lap demostrations" using the only a pad and not necesseraly by using steering wheel? Cos in missions or license tests is easy to get silver or even gold but I'm struggling a lot with demos, always blocked in bronze with just a couple of silvers.
@@ale9toma ciao Alessandro, i got only silver for now, but i'm working for gold with pad!
@@NaMeo0o thank you for the reply, but have you tried to get gold in other circuits besides Le Mans?
@@ale9toma yes, for now brands hatch and two other circuits!
Its a good video, but where is the Viper I saw in the thumbnail pic
The Nurburgring Nordscheliefe is stumping me really bad rn. I have a 6:40 time rn as my record and I need to shave 3 seconds off of that to get gold. I’ve tried the 0 TCS but it wasn’t improving for me. Honestly, I’m just confused as to how and where I’m losing time on that circuit. Any advice would be nice!
I’d recommend going to the settings in the experience menu and setting the ghost to the demo, then you can compare pace with it
@@HSGAutomotive I did that but I’m still confused about how the demonstration lap just gets away from after sector 1 and so on
I actually just turned off the ghost completely. It breaks my concentration too much and at times gets in the way of seeing the track.
Gold the first time, how many attempts? Because wet track is new to GT
Laguna Seca gave me fits.
It still is for me, the full lap is giving me an aneurysm
@@RunningOn7CylindersYT- seriously that car understeers so bad. It’s definitely doable but took me so many tries.
@@chrisd6736 it takes perfect lines and to skip over the bumps on the inside of the corners I assume
@@RunningOn7CylindersYT- ya you can actually do it without straddling those bumps, which is hard to do without launching your car off course lol. But ya I did it just with very clean lines lots of speed through corners and on corner exits. Extremely difficult challenge.
Set breaking power to rear +2 and it understeers a lot less
Sure man sure yea hope it helps ya
Unless it's the Peugeot going through the porsche esses on la sarthe Ai ghost can pin it you can't.
Hey, thanks for the tips. I am currently working on beating the Nurburgring circuit experience, I got all the sectors gold, but I just can't get that lap attack on gold, I am 3 seconds behind and I was just wondering, do I need to manually shift gears or is it okay if I keep it automatic?
Manual will more often make you quicker, but I mostly never bother unless the car has a particularly niche gearbox
@@HSGAutomotive Thank you, I have finally completed the circuit experience all gold thanks to you. Really, thank you.
Ey nice one, glad it helped out
The last sector at Le Mans is getting me. I thought the Peugeot would have more downforce for the faster corners but I just keep spinning. Any advice?
Dont spin
Is the team oreca viper just a thumbnail or is it hidden in gt7?
A build in the game bud
Like deployed 👍
😎🎙🏎✅
All of them are hard for me
2nd one (TCS "cheat") & last1 (differ your approach) are the best advice. 1st one You considered most important is not actually that relevant, when you know all tracks like the back of your hand (which many of us GT veterans do). Btw I consider the rally track experiences the easiest. It's either me playing a lot of rally games in my life, or they're in fact the easiest.
As I said in the vid, tip 1, or any for that matter, aren't intended for veterans. That's the point
I personally deactivate the ghost. Is a big distraction
I find it quite the opposite. When racing my own ghost, I can see what risks to take and actively try to beat it. I just wish it would save your best ghost, so it's always there, but unfortunately, the ghost is deleted after every game session.
lol i thought its not even possible to do them not in a right way.. :D it shouldnt be allowed to do full lap until u done the sectors first :D
I turn the ghost off so I don't get in my own head
Same here, Billy
Bro what, I actually got faster
Boom
Frustrating when ya got a time of say 1:30.200 and ya finish 1:30.267, times on here are bullshit 🤣🤣
