Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).

Here's another GT3 test, finding its way into GT4. This replay is the only one where I don't use the in-cabin view. I'll add another link later for the in-cabin replay.

This test starts off with the car headed toward the left side wall. I start braking just before crossing the big shadow, and swing the car to the right. When the spedometer gets to 37, I start to get back on the gas, still steering to the right. When the rear starts to snap out, I start modulating the steering, staying flat out through the rest of the turn.

I approach the next turn from the right, and begin braking and turning while crossing the big shadow on the ground. I shift down into first, and slide through the turn while using the gas and the steering to complete the exit.

I stay to the left, and begin braking and turning when I pass the tree on the left. I go back down to 1st again, and swing the back end around with two jolts of the wheel and gas. I shift back into 2nd and prepare for the final left turn.

I still haven't found the best angle for this turn, always cutting too early of an apex. I cross the line at 0'29.295 going 54 mph.

Here's a video of my run:
