Struggling with Gran Turismo 5's Wet Road Stopping Challenge? This guide reveals the hidden trick to achieving Gold, even with the game's 'glitch'.

Alright, so you've hit the -HARD ONE- (8) section in Gran Turismo 5, and the Wet Road Stopping Challenge is living up to its name. Honestly, the game's got a bit of a glitch here – if you just go straight and try to stop normally, getting Gold is pretty much impossible. But don't sweat it, there's a specific trick that works!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    TL;DR: Forget stopping straight. You need to brake late, cut hard left, and use the invisible wall to slow down.
  2. 2
    Starting Out: As soon as you take off, steer your car all the way to the left side of the runway. You want to be about half a car width away from the grass – not in it, but close!
  3. 3
    Spotting the Cues: As you speed down the runway, keep an eye out for two types of markers: little posts sticking out of the grass on the sides, and black spots on the white line.
  4. 4
    The Braking Point: You'll want to go as fast as you can. The key is to pass the third post sticking out of the grass. The moment you do, slam on your brakes!
  5. 5
    The Turn: At the same instant you hit the brakes, cut the steering wheel hard to the LEFT.
  6. 6
    Hitting the Spot: Your goal is to aim for the second black spot you see on the white line. Try to hit it as squarely as possible.
  7. 7
    Using the Wall: Keep those brakes fully mashed and the wheel cranked to the left. You'll use the course's invisible wall to help slow your car down all the way to the finish line.
Tips
  • This is definitely a bit tricky, and finding the perfect visual cue takes practice. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries to get consistent.
  • Pay close attention to those markers – they're your only real guide.
  • Warning: If you hit that invisible wall too hard, you'll get disqualified. If you don't hit it hard enough, you won't slow down sufficiently to get Gold. It's a fine balance!
  • Once you start getting the hang of the line and the braking point, use the ghost car. It's a great way to judge if you're braking too early or too late, or turning too much or not enough.
