Hi guys, I'm still trying to get a license in GT. I can't even get the B-1 test completed! The braking test (B-1) seems impossible! I accelerate as fast as possible and shortly after I hit the 900m marker, I slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop right after the finish line... perfect... but the time is always a few tenths of a second over the 36 sec time limit. What gives! What else can I do? HELP! Later, Marcus

You are braking too early and probably sliding and locking up. Z.
Use manual gears to accelerate quicker. Put the brakes on at about 940-50m and change down gears as you do so. HTH Jonathan. -- Jonathan Hills, jmh.net Graphic & Internet Design ICQ# : 7191631 www : http://ds.dial.pipex.com/jmhnet/ Home of "TOCA : A Player's Guide"

Check your starting technique! I have found that revving the engine to the limiter isn't the best method of getting away from the line. Try only revving it to 5-6000rpm. Rob.. A1 license & 955bhp Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec
Brake later. For all the tests, there is a demo replay file accessible from the main menu. Hate to tell you this, but the tests get harder :-) It took me a ton of tries to get a couple of the A license runs completed succesfully. But it's worth the effort.
Keep plugging :) Wait until you try some of the A license trials. Many times I wanted to throw the controller through the TV..but perserverance pays off :) Berry Kaiser Spammer Jammer Activated

when all else fails, get the game shark.

You say that you come to a complete stop right after the finish line, does that mean you are not stopping in the finish line zone which is a requirement. When my youngest son was playing, he was stopping right after the stop zone which is wrong.
The optimum time is achieved when you brake at a point where you cross the finish line at the fastest speed possible (without crossing the back line, of course). I made it after having a couple of beers, maybe that would help, too :o) Tuffe

Exactly. My son did the same thing.
