Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).
The first part of this test runs similarly to the A6 License Test in GT3. The second part runs like the A8 Test. For GT4, they combine it into a single test, using the Jaguar XJ220.
After this test starts, I begin to turn in for the double-right. I begin braking as the inside curb approaches, from 98 to 69, then I slowly get back on the gas after setting an entry along the right into the tunnel.
I try to stay to the right for a good entry into the left hander, but I always turn in too early/sharply. I brake after coming up on the inside curb from 103 to 64, then flutter the wheel as the car comes around. Getting the right side into the dirt for the exit is a big no-no, so I try to make sure the exit won't involve much of that outside curb.
I gradually make my way to the left side, to get a better angle for the approach into the hairpin. As I arrive at the left side curbing, I swing the steering to the right. Then I give a quick stab of the brakes to go from 141 to 123, and get back on the gas as I roll over the right side curb.
Just before I come off of the right side curb, I stand on the brakes for the hairpin entry. I try to stay as close to the right side as possible, and after slowing from 125 to 38, I get try to finish the turn in 1st gear. This turn might be taken better in 2nd gear.
I put too much into it, too soon, and I briefly blow out the back wheels. I shift into 2nd, and head for the line from there. I cross at 0'32.088, going 90 mph in 2nd gear.
