Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays). All replays will be shown in 1st person mode (in-cabin, the same display that I have when driving). The replays for this gamesave's B License runs have been deleted. The replays shown below are my personal current "bests", and the commentary that follows is associated with my best time runs, NOT this gamesave's runs. For all License Tests other than B, I'll post the replays of THIS gamesave's runs, and maintain replays of my best runs elsewhere. I'll update these posts if/when I improve...
The first of the rally-type tests, this one is a good introduction to driving on dirt. It's important to use the throttle to help the car get around the hairpins, as this will keep your exit speeds up.
I launch around 4400, and quickly make my way to the inside of the first right hander. Since the next hairpin left comes up so quickly, it's key to stay to the right for the first turn's exit.
There's a sign behind the barrier of the inside of the turn. Once it goes off screen, I start braking for the turn. I start the turn-in shortly after, dropping from 43 to around 30, and then the back end starts to swing around. The speedometer dips down to 16 before the wheels catch again, and I make a bee line for the finish.
Again, I don't worry about running into the wall after crossing the line, hoping for the straightest path across the finish. I cross going 45 mph, with a time of 0'17.072
Here's a video of my (best) run:
