Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays). Please refer to these track maps when looking up Turn numbers/names * Special thanks to AMG @ GTPlanet.net for the hard work put in to generate them!!! *

This test isn't too bad, but for the first couple of turns, it feels like there isn't much ground gained on the opponent.

The windbreak from the opponent will move a bit to the outside as the car makes its turns. While behind it, it's best to follow a similar line. As the 2nd turn approaches, I slip into the inside of the opponent and brake as I come out of the shadow of the bridge. I ease back into the gas, and prepare for the final two turns.

The latter section of this test is taken similarly to the License Tests (A1, A2). I keep it tight to the right for the first turn, then gradually come around for the left.

I cross the line at 1'04.168, going 72 mph in 3rd gear.

Here's a video of my run:
