We're set to visit my nephew next Saturday, and, other things being equal, a major part of the agenda will be trying to help him learn to pass his Gran Turismo 1 A License tests. |
So last night I once again went through my licenses from scratch in Gran Turismo 1, to make sure I had not lost the touch. I was only a little bit slower than I expected. The only thing I noticed was that I was often, but not always, a bit over-cautious when braking in Gran Turismo now. |
I got home last night some time after 8pm, and started doing the tests shortly after that, and also ate supper around that time. In any case, by 9:30pm I had acquired my A license. |
Here are notes I made. |
B - I got all bronze, on the first try, except for B-2 which | |
I failed on the first try and got silver on the second try. | |
day 10 | |
A-1 2 tries, 1 failure, 1 silver | |
A-2 bronze in 1 try | |
A-3 bronze in 2 tries | |
A-4 bronze in 8(!) tries 38.854 | |
A-5 bronze in 1 try 31.411 | |
A-6 silver in 3 tries 26.479 | |
A-7 gold in 1 try 28.013 | |
A-8 bronze in 2 tries, 1:06.993 | |
day 30 |
It was now 9:30pm, probably less than one hour after I started the B license start. I had eaten supper by now. |
day 30 | |
IA-1 bronze in 1 try 1:06.779 | |
IA-3 bronze in 3 tries 2:02.325 | |
IA-5 bronze in 1 try 1:23.997(!) | |
IA-7 bronze in 2 tries 2:12.383 | |
IA-2 bronze in 3 tries 1:29.261 | |
IA-4 bronze in 2 tries 1:23.537 | |
IA-6 bronze in 2 tries 1:32.699 | |
IA-8 bronze in 3 tries 1:58.538 | |
day 47 |
It was now 10:05pm. |
I then realized I should have kept replays of the A license runs, since bronze-level runs will probably be more useful for my nephew to look at than the gold-level runs of the Demonstrations in the Replay Theatre. Too bad you can't look at them from within the license test screen; hmm. you can't actually do that in GT2 with your own replays, either. So anyway, I redid the A tests to save the replays. |
Replays (I didn't note how many attempts I took to get the following) |
A-1 33.032 Bronze | |
A-2 25.330 Bronze (forgot to record 25.190 silver) | |
A-3 43.577 Bronze | |
A-4 38.833 Bronze | |
A-5 31.159 Bronze | |
A-6 26.832 Bronze | |
A-7 27.789 Gold | |
A-8 1:07.525 Bronze | |
It's possible I did them all on the first attempt; it certainly never got very desperate-feeling. |
