Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).
And here's another GT3 License test. This one gave me a lot of trouble in GT3.
From a standing start, this is the twisty section of Trial Mountain. This car will understeer quite a bit when at full throttle, so patience through the turns is key. I launch at around 6200, and head straight off the line (the guide line (press R3) will suggest a wider entry through the tunnel). I turn in, and lift when I come up on the inside curb. I settle to around 55, then get back on the gas for the exit. I try to keep the steering steady, as the bumpy parts of this section can easily unsettle the car.
I begin braking as I pull away from the left side curb. I often over-brake the right hander, and end up chunking the inside curb. For this run, I manage an OK entry angle and accelerate through without problem.
I shift into 3rd as I approach the Monkey Tree, but I don't stay there long as I'm back into 2nd for the right hander leading to the 2nd tunnel. When I'm clear of the left-side rocks, I shift it back into 3rd, and scoot over to the right hand side of the tunnel entry.
While swinging the steering wheel to the left, I brake from 80 to 65, then coast to the left side of the tunnel exit. I dip down to 60, then step back on it for the final turn.
From there, it's flat out. I keep a steady line that avoids the right side tunnel wall, and shift into 4th as I come out of the tunnel. I cross the line at 0'44.573 going 118 mph in 4th.
Here's a video of my run:
