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...

This test starts the car headed toward the left wall. I keep the steering to the right gradual, with a line that puts me near the wall when I turn in. There's no need to brake nor lift for this turn, as the car will lose enough speed when sliding. I crank the wheel to the right, and ease off the steering after pointing in the right direction.

The speed drops from 83 to about 57 mph, and I begin countersteering after passing the inside barrier. This helps get me back to speed, and I manage to cross the line at 0'17.127, going 78 mph.

Here's a video of my (best) run:
