Default Gran Turismo fans: I finally did it!
It was bloody hard, but I finally got all Golds in all licences and got the Model T Ford. With a full 19 hp and a top speed close to 90 km/h, this thing can actually go uphills (unlike those benz motor carriages). Anyway, here are pics of it.

Well i gotta say, bloody well done, what an effort that must've been. would have taken many frustrating hours to get all that.

Great Work

Yea its real tail happy, take it on that small motorsport land track and find out what I mean. Its faster than a Citroen 2CV anyway.

I'm doing a 24hr enduro at the moment on Le Sarthe. B spec is crap, make sure you have a car much faster than the opposition, cos you will wake up after a nights sleep and be about 5 laps down otherwise.

I found most tests in A and B could be done in less than 3 tries. In Special, I reckon an average of 5 or 6 goes for each one can get you a gold (thats 5 or 6 tries where you actually complete the lap without stuffing up, using your ghost car to improve). I found most of the rally ones were easy in Special, but the 3 most difficult were The Nurb with the Merc, Suzuka with the 350Z LM and El Capitan with the Viper. Those 3 must of taken at least 30 or 40 goes each to complete. sleep:

Oh yeh, the model T does not go sideways in the normal sense, but goes all over the road when you go into a turn at speed. It's extremely bad around twisty S-bends, but it's a hoot to drive unlike those Daimler motor carriages which bore you to death.

Well done!

I doubt I'll ever achieve that, some of those license tests are pretty darn hard to get silver on...

That's a good effort! How long does it take you to lap the Nurb in one of those babies?
