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

This test will start in the 200R section of Suzuka, and runs through Spoon Curve. Taking a wider entry allowed me to stay to the right for the exit of 200R, which bodes well for the setup into Spoon.

I start braking just after passing the paved footpath on the right. I go from 109 to 65, then ease back into the gas in 3rd gear to finish the first left hander. As I come to the end of the outside (right side) curb, I steadily brake down to 55 or so, still in 3rd gear, and ease back into the gas after settling the car.

I miss the inside curb, but manage a smooth enough exit so that my speed is ok. I keep the wheels on the track, and head for the finish. I cross at 0'27.546, going 94 mph in 3rd.

Here's a video of my run:
