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!!! *

One good thing about Missions is that it won't issue a DQ for going off or collisions. This is great, because I completely cut the first corner (headed into Turn 4). I manage a good line, but not a "clean" one. From there, I keep a steady turn to the left to prepare for the final right hander (Turn 7).

I enter the final right with an angle that cuts across the early part of the curbing, and bump the opponent fender-to-fender. I pass him midway through the turn, and I try to keep a smooth line for the exit, but it's a bit chunkier than I would prefer...

I cross the line at 0'28.428, going 64 mph in 3rd gear.

Here's a video of my run:
