Ahhh... The last of the License Tests, and this one's a good one. Being a License Test, there's no wallriding nor lawnmowing. But by the time I got around to this test, I'd driven this course so many times it's not necessary for gold anyway. This car drives similarly to the SLR McLaren, although the gearing allows for much better control of the acceleration out of turns. The back end for this car can swing nicely, so I try to use the oversteer in certain spots to help make turns.
Again, with as many corners as this course has, It'd be impractical to give ALL the details, so I'll just highlight some significant moments during the run...
For some reason, the video gets choppy from T5 to T7. When I have time, I'll upload a smoother video, but it will take a while before I have time to re-capture it.
S: Launch @ 10000 (at limit)
T1: 0'47.247
I nearly cut too much corner for the first part of Flugplatz, but not enough for a DQ.
T2: 1'20.758
I'm wide for the exit of Adenaur-Forst, and I have to slow down quite a bit to keep from going off. I should be deeper into 3rd gear for the exit, but I had to kick it down to 2nd to keep it on track.
T3: 1'48.797
T4: 2'37.630
T5: 3'15.326
T6: 3'42.327
My braking into Karussel is a little late, and I'm over the banked portion. I feel like I should be using more of it to help keep a higher speed through the turn, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it would've made.
T7: 4'31.767
I'm a little too far to the right as I head into Wippermann, and I have to slow down more than usual to make sure I don't go off to the right for the entry, and/or to the left on the exit. I'm too deep into the corner for my liking when I finally pull through Eiskurve. I should be tighter to the inside curb, to allow for a straighter line out of it.
T8: 5'12.689
I nearly send all 4 wheels over the right side for the entry into Pflanzgarten I, but no DQ...
T9: 5'33.652
While entering Galgenkopf, I hit the right side curb and it kicks me wide to the left. It gets me off-rhythm, and I nearly go into the left side grass. I have to lift to make sure that doesn't happen, but at least I'm left with a good angle for the exit onto the straight...
T10: 6'14.851
T11: 6'38.856
I'm a little too hot heading into the final right hander. It takes me longer than usual to get back to full throttle for the final short distance to the finish line...
F: 7'01.406 @ 95 mph in 4th gear
