Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays). Please refer to these track maps when looking up Turn numbers/names * Special thanks to AMG @ GTPlanet.net for the hard work put in to generate them!!! *

Unlike the other configurations for Fuji, there aren't many places for lawnmowing. This Mission must be cleared cleanly... There isn't much to this Mission, other than keeping the entry onto the final straight as smooth as possible to maintain a good speed. Other than that, I just try to be careful when passing. Penalty = Fail...

S: + 0'35.000
T1: + 0'22.801
I don't even have an opponent in sight until the left turn just before T2.
T2: + 0'15.199
All opponents are passed between T2 and F... I pass the first two opponents on the left side, which helps keep an ouside approach into the final right hander onto the straight. I pass the 300ZX (Z31) on the right, to maintain a line on the inside for the turn. The last 2 opponents are passed within the final 5 seconds or so...
F: - 0'00.653

I cross the line at 1'50.500, going 176 mph in 6th gear.

Here's a video of my run:
