Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).
Interesting that the creators chose to run this test immediately after the full-lap guide run. In any case, the braking and turn-in points are nearly identical as for this section of the IB15 test... The only difference seems to be that getting back on the gas after the right hairpin can be done earlier for this test, but that might just be my imagination...
The trickiest part of this test for me was getting the steering correct when going through the gate (just before it goes steeply uphill). I would usually end up too wide, near the right-side wall, and it would slow me down considerably. Lifting as I pass the left-side barrier while coming up the hill helped prevent this.
The best thing is seeing the car crash into the wall after the test ends. It happens a lot, but will depend on how far to the left you finish the run.
I cross the line at 0'18.757, going 71 mph in 3rd gear.
Here's a video of my run:
