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).
This test will start you off headed toward the right. For best results, I found it helpful to steer a little to the left as soon as the test starts. This will lead to a shorter path to the turn-in point.
For the first left hander, I brake just past the 100 m sign (on the wall on the right hand side). Turn-in starts shortly after, and I take the speed from 94 to 60. From there, I try to cut a good angle that will set me up for a good exit from the right hander. I hold 61 through the first part of the turn, then I swing the steering wheel to the right. At the same time, I lift and then give a little dab of the brakes. this helps settle the car, and I prepare for the right-hand portion.
I get on the gas a little too heavy and a little too early, and this sets my left side into the dirt for my exit. I lose a bit of time, but fortunately, this is one of the shorter straight sections.
My turn-in for the final left corner is horrible. I completely miss, and end up going way too deep. A smoother turn would've kept my speeds higher, but I manage a gold time anyway. Again, for this gamesave, I'm only looking to get gold, not to set my fastest all-time bests... I cross at 0'30.789, going 75 in 3rd gear.
