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 usually gives me problems because I take too tight of an entry. It's important to be patient before going full throttle for the exit, as this turn is usually a bit longer than it seems (for me). I turn-in when the last tree's shadow goes off screen (on the right hand side).

I start braking shortly after, from 93 to about 68, then I coast down to 59 or so before I jump back on the gas. The car will oversteer for the first part of the exit, so I try to be careful not to bog the rpms by turning too much. After settling the car's direction, I head toward the right hand side of the road for the finish.

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