MM All credit goes to Skip Barber Racing School and the makers of the Gran Turismo series. *The Goal The primary goal of a race driver is to cover the course, whether it's an oval or road course, in the minimum amount of time. Racing courses consist of straight-aways and corners. If we work on minimizing the time spent driving through corners and slowing down, we can come up with a plan for reaching our goal of being the fastest driver on the racetrack. *The Limit It is important to remember that a tire is the only physical contact a car has with the road. And, at any given time, that tire is only capable of 100% traction. When you accelerate, turn of brake, you begin dividing that traction between these three tasks. Under full acceleration, the tire is using 100% of its traction to move the car forward. If you want to use 20% of the tire's traction for braking, you will be left with only 20% traction for turning. Driving a racecar through a turn is a systematic compromise between these forces. How do we determine the maximum speed of a turn? This question is entirely dependent on the maximum radius of the arc or the turn. As a car travels faster around a turn, the tires must work harder to maintain the line. If you increase your speed, but hold your steering input the same, the radius of the turn will increase. Therefore, as speed increases, the radius increases until the car is no longer able to stay on the road. At this point you have exceeded the maximum speed of the turn. _____________________________________________________________________________ | iX28M 0SSBr | | ;MMMMMMM@ MMMMM TRACTION | | MMMM: MMM GUIDE | |XMB :2 M@M | |BM MMMM,MM2 As a car travels faster around a circular path, the tires| | M MMM MMM use increasing amounts of their potential traction to | | BM force the car to continue to change direction. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | FORCE | FORCE | FORCE | | | | 1/10 total | | | 5/10 total | | | 10/10 total | | V V traction | V V traction | V V traction | | 12 mph | 27 mph | 38.7 mph | | ,;'';. \ | ,;'';. \ | ,;'';. \ | | ;; ;; \ | ;; ;; \ | ;; ;; \ | | ;; ;; | | ;; ;; | | ;; ;; | | | ;; ;; V | ;; ;; V | ;; ;; V | | ;; ;; | ;; ;; | ;; ;; | | `:..:' | `:..:' | `:..:' | |_________________________|________________________|__________________________| There are Three Basic Problems to Solve in Racing: 1) Driving on the best path (The Line) 2) Carrying speed away from the corners onto the straight-aways (Corner Exit Speed) 3) Efficiently showing the car at the entry of a corner (Braking) *The Line ____________________________ Simply defined, the line is the optimum path | ..,,------------- | a racetrack. In corners, this path is usually the| ,,;; ,:¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | largest radius arc that can fit into the confines| :: .:' | of the turn. The line can vary with track | :: ,' | conditions and the type of racecar being driven. | :: ,' | | :: / ,--------------- | As shown in the chart to the right, driving up a | :: /,'R1 | corner, you have several choices about how to | |R2 / | | drive through it. You can drive around the inside| | |' | | corner, but you're restricted to the smallest | | | | | radius possible (R1). You can make the radius | | |' | | through the corner bigger yet by driving around | | | | | the outside corner (R2) - the radius of R2 is | | |' | | bigger than R1, so maximum speed will be higher. | | | | | | ||' | | The best line, however, is to start the arc | || | | before the corner along the outside of the road, | ||R3 | | touch the inside edge of the road roughly half- |____________________________| way through the corner, and touch the outside edge of the road again at the exit. If you do this, you can use R3, clearly the biggest and best choice by a significant margin. *Corner Exit Speed Corner exit speed is the speed at which a car is traveling at the track-out point of a corner and, consequently, the speed carried onto the following straight. A higher corner exit speed is critical to the time you can gain when accelerating down a straightaway. A higher exit speed equals a higher straightaway speed, which equals a shorter lap time! The maximum speed you can carry through a corner is determined by the tires' traction and the line you drive through the corner. (Remember that the tires are only capable of 100% traction. Devoting all your traction to turning will leave you with no traction for braking or accelerating.) At first, it would seem that the most efficient way through a turn would be to maintain the maximum speed that will allow the tires to maintain cornering traction. You could then start accelerating at the end of the turn. Whereas this will produce fast lap times, it is possible to go even faster. Here's how: by entering the turn a few miles per hour slower, you will be able to devote a small amount of your traction to acceleration before you have exited the turn. This slightly earlier return to the the accelerator will give you a longer period of acceleration, and in turn result in a faster overall speed at the end of the straight. _____________________________________________________________________________ | iX28M 0SSBr | | ;MMMMMMM@ MMMMM CORNER EXIT SPEED | | MMMM: MMM GUIDE | |XMB :2 M@M | |BM MMMM,MM2 | | M MMM MMM | | BM | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | || | 157MPH | || | 155MPH | | `\/\/\/\' | `\/\/\/\' | | | | | |\/\/\/\| +100MPH | |\/\/\/\| +100MPH | | || | | || | | | || | | || | | | || | * - Start to accelerate | || | | | || | Avg.

We| :: .:' /\ | call this phase of driving racecars "breaking and| :: ,' 57MPH | entering." | :: ,' | | :: / ,--------------- | Remembering that a tire is only capable of 100% | :: /,' | traction, it makes sense to do the majority of | |53MPH/ |<-Acceleration | your braking in a straight line. This will get | | |' |\ Point | the maximum efficiency from the brakes. As you | | | | `, | rapidly approach a turn, you should be holding | | |' | | | the brake pedal at it's threshold - or braking at| | | | | | 100%. This means that if you brake at 101%, the | | |' | | 6.36 seconds| tire will lock up and skid. Skidding is not good | | | | :>-Threshold | because you surrender control of the tires' | ||' | | braking, with| traction and increases the overall distance to | |X | | braking and | stop. | |X | | turning | | |X 157 | | | As the car approaches the entrance of the turn, | |X MPH | ,' | if you want to continue to brake into a turn, you| |X |/ | must relieve some of the braking grip so as to | |X | | gain the ability to turn the car - remember the | ||+100 MPH | traction compromise? This is generally the most |____________________________| efficient way to enter the turn. It also smoothes out the transitions from braking to cornering to once again applying the throttle. *S-Turns or "Compromise Corners" _________________________________ So far, we've been looking at each corner as| | || | if were the only turn on the course. You | | || | can't afford to make this assumption. In | | || | fact, not all corners are created equal. A | | || | particular corner's placement on the course,| | :| | where it leads to, and what precedes it, may| / ,' | | also affect the line you choose to drive | ; : | | through the corner. | ,; ,' ; | | ,' ,: ,:: | Taking into account all these different | ,... ,;' ,:' ,' | variables, you need to decide which one of | ;' ¯¯¯¯¯ :' ,' | these corners will gain you the greatest | .' ,.:' ,' | advantage on lap time. We know that exit | ; ,....:' ,:' | speed is of paramount importance, so if you | : .;' ,:'' | commit to the first turn, your car might not| | ,' ,:'¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | be positioned to take advantage of the | |: | | second turn. It is very important to base | || | | your strategy on how you can exit the turn |_________________________________| leading onto the straight with maximum speed. Often, this means you will have to sacrifice, or "compromise," the proper line of the first turn to be able to take full advantage of the second turn and exit onto the straight at the highest possible speed. *Passing Passing may seem like nothing more than just putting your foot down and steering around the car ahead of you, but it's not that simple. The uniformed observer misses the point that on the racetrack, everyone has their foot to the floor. The common method of passing is to out-brake your competition into a corner. By going "deeper" into a turn, you can gain a lead over your competitor, but remember that this will change "The Line" the your car travels. You will now be on a different radius and you will need to adjust your driving to stay on the road. If you brake too late, you will need to remain on the brakes longer to still remain in control. This can often lead to the competitor passing you back on the exit of the turn, or your car leaving the course. When your competition comes back and passes you right after you passed them, it is called "The Double Pass." ,;X2aBM .ZXXSSBr iMMMMMM@WWMi MBZZZ0M SMMMWMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMS MMMMMMMB7:. @MMMMaSXXX7Z MMMM@ :M0BM----------------\ ,MMM .rra2 M0aWM [GT4.03] \ ZMM MMMMM iMaZM-------------------\---------------------------------------- SM0 MW0MM M8a@8 3. - Track Walkthroughs MM MMMMM MMMMM------------------------------------------------------------- MM MM *PLEASE NOTE - These all describe what to do with faster newer cars with good handling (most are done with the recent Chevrolet Corvette.)

When you see a tighter turn to the right, that is when you want to brake. Try to get on the right side of the track quickly so you could make the next turn quicker. Brake to about 35-40 mph for the next turn. Gas it through the next turn and brake to about 60 mph for the next slight turn. You will need to keep an eye on the other cars because once he starts braking hard, you will have to brake to about 30 mph to make the turn. Gas it through the next few turns where you see that the other cars didn't press the brakes. Be careful because around one of the last corners that you could gas it through, is a narrow spot in the track where you will have to get through the middle. Now just gas it down this straight and you will enter tht series of narrow turns that you did in a previous test. You will want to take them on in the same fashion. Tap the brakes through the first few turns and brake to about 30 mph at the sharper turns at the end of this series of turns. Get in the other cars' draft and you could actually get a lot of speed here. Pay attention to where he starts to brake so you don't slam into his back end and fail. Brake to about 45 mph to complete this S turn. You will need to brake to about 35-30 mph for this next hairpin turn. Now just gas it through a series of light turns. There will eventually be one sharp turn right before the finish line where you will have to brake to about 40 mph to get through. Now just gas it to the finish. ------------------------------ Clubman Stage Route 5 ------------------------------ Now gas it down the straight-away. Brake to about 80-85 mph at the entrance of the tunnel. Gas it through and let go of the accelerator through the next light right turn. Brake to about 50 mph for the next turn and you will enter the only series of turns. Gas it through the next turn and let go of the accelerator for the following turn. Now you could gas it down the rest of the turns. Make this first turn at about 80 mph and then brake to about 60 mph for the next turn. ------------------------------ Costa di Amafi ------------------------------ Go forward and start following the other cars. Go through the first turn to the left without letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 25-30 mph for this next turn. Watch how the other cars brake. They will brake, let go of the accelerator, and brake a little more. Do that to save the most time. Now brake down to about 48 mph here and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Now go straight down this stretch. Brake down to about 30 mph for the next turn. Go down this line and make the windy turns as fast as you can. Brake down to about 38 mph and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the next turn. Brake down to about 45 mph for this turn. You will only need to let go of the accelerator through these turns and you will reach a sharper turn. Brake down to about 45 mph for this turn. Now just floor it down the hill. Brake down to about 30 mph at the bottom of the hill, start braking right when the road gets relatively flat again, you could also watch where the other cars begins to turn. Let go of the accelerator if you start sliding up the track and gas it through the exit. Let go of the accelerator for the next turn to the right. Let go of it again for the next turn to the left. Let go a little early though. Now go through this straight and brake down to 25 mph for the next turn. This part is kind of hard and involves a lot of braking. Brake to about 15-20 mph and go down. Now brake to about 10 mph. Now just gas it to the finish line. ------------------------------ Cote d'Azur ------------------------------ Brake early at the first turn and brake to about 50 mph. Accelerate through the exit of the turn and gas it up this uphill climb. At the very top, start braking, brake to about 45-50 mph and make sure not to slide or it will mess you up at the entrance to the next turn. Tap the brakes before entering it and slide through the turn. Go down this short straight and you will enter this series of turns. Brake to about 35-40 mph while entering the turn and let go of the accelerator through the turn. Gas it to the next turn once you complete it. Brake to about 25 mph at the entrance to the next turn and let go of the accelerator throughout the turn. Now gas it to the next turn where you will only have to let go of the accelerator. Tap the brakes at the entrance to the following turn and slide through this turn too. Now you will go through the long tunnel, near the end your car may start to slide so make sure to let go of the accelerator when it does. Keep going until you reach the sharp S turn. Brake to about 35 mph. Let go of the accelerator and complete this quick series of turns, once you are certain you are out, press the accelerator again. Gas it ahead and you will reach the next series of turns. Brake to about 50-55 mph entering this turn and slide through it. Slide through the next two turns and you will reach a sharper right turn, brake to about 40 mph at this turn and let go of the accelerator through the next turn. Now stay on the right hand side of the track. Make this light left without slowing down and slam the brakes through the hairpin turn, you'll have to brake to about 30 mph and let go of the accelerator around the turn. Gas it through the exit and you will reach the last turn of the track. Tap the brakes and then slide through it. Now just gas it to the start/finish line. ------------------------------ George V Paris ------------------------------ Gas it down this straight and brake down to 40 mph. Gas it around this long turn and tap the brakes exiting the turn. Brake to about 35 mph at the next turn. Gas it here and let go of the accelerator for the next turn. Brake to about 40 mph for the next turn and then 50 mph for the next turn. Now you will have to keep braking from about 30-40 mph between the rest of the turns. ------------------------------ Hong Kong ------------------------------ Get a good start and you could slide around this turn. Don't hold the turn all the way, hold it about halfway (that means instead of moving the analog stick all of the way to the right, hold it about halfway to the right) because that will help you keep the most traction. Brake for a second a few times so you won't slide into the wall and continue down this stretch. Brake to about 60-65 mph for this next turn. You could make it at a faster speed if you are good but your car will begin to spin so get ready to try to correct it. Brake to about 55 mph for this next turn. Now you could go down this windy section in a straight line. Go in the straight line or you will lose too much time. Now brake to about 35 mph for this next tight turn. Now go down this short straight and brake to about 45 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the turn and gas it through the exit. Now you've got a nice long stretch to go down and gain speed. To gain the most speed, get directly behind the other cars to get a draft which will make you go faster. Brake really early for this turn. Brake where the other cars started to brake. You will need to go at about 25-30 mph through this turn. Now brake to about 45 mph for this next turn and let go of the accelerator a little so you don't slide into the wall. Now get in the draft again behind the other cars and brake to about 40 mph for this turn. Once again, get in the other cars' draft and brake to about 45 mph for this turn. Brake to about 33 mph for this next turn and go through the next at 35 mph. Now just gas it to the finish line. ------------------------------ New York ------------------------------ Gas it down this long straight-away and don't start braking until you reach the hairpin turn. When you're there, brake to about 55-60 mph. Slide through the first have and then brake to about 35-40 mph for the second half of this turn. Gas it down this nice long straight-away. Now all of these 90 degree turns could be made at around 50 mph. Gas it down the final straight and you will reach a long turn. Take this whole turn at about 60 mph. Now get a good corner exit speed and gas it to the finish. ------------------------------ Opera Paris ------------------------------ Make all of these turns by just without even letting go of the accelerator as you make the turn. Gain some speed down this straight. Brake down to about 55 mph to make this next turn and gas it through the exit. Brake to about 50 mph while entering the next turn. You could just make the rest of the turns by letting go of the accelerator for this series of turns. Go down this stretch and build up speed. Brake to about 55-60 mph entering the next turn and go through it while letting go of the accelerator. Press the gas again when ready. Brake to about 30 mph to make this hairpin turn. You could make this turn by simply letting go of the accelerator. Build up speed here and let go of the accelerator early. Make the turn by just letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 35 mph here and then brake to 30 mph at the next turn. Make sure not to enter the pits and brake to about 38 mph. You could make the rest of the turns by letting go of the accelerator. ------------------------------ Seattle Circuit ------------------------------ You will have to brake really early at the first turn because this car doesn't have good braking. Get down to about 40 mph and gas it through the exit. Go down this short straight and brake to 70 mph for this turn. Now go forward and go through this light turn to the left at full speed. Brake down to about 55 mph at the very top of this hill to make this turn. You could go through this light turn to the left at full speed. Brake to about 65 mph for the next turn. You could slide through this next turn by letting go of the accelerator. You could also slide through the next two turns doing the same thing. Now you will reach the sharp turn here, brake to about 45 mph to make this turn and gas it through the exit. Now you have the nice long stretch to gain speed down. You could make the first right without letting go of the accelerator. You will soon reach a much sharper right, brake to about 65 mph to make it. Now you will reach a small series of turns. Brake just for a second at the entrance of the first turn. You could slide through the turn right after that one. Now you have a short straight. Try to position yourself to go through the next two turns in a straight line. Let go of the accelerator through the next turn and you could gas it through the next turn here. Now you will reach another sharp turn, brake to about 45 mph to make it. Now there's one more turn that's a bit of a hassle. Brake to about 75 mph when making it and go through the small S turn. Now just gas it to the finish. ------------------------------ Seoul Central ------------------------------ Gas it down this straight and you will reach the hairpin turn. Brake to about 50 mph while entering the turn. You will have to make the rest of the turn at an average of 45 mph. Now go down this short straight and brake to about 70 mph as you enter this turn. Gas through the exit and just let go of the accelerator through the next turn. Now go down this straight and brake to about 45 mph. Gas through the exit and you will reach the last turn. Gas through it, it might look like a tight turn but the track is very wide so you could gas through it without a problem. ------------------------------ Special Stage Route 5 ------------------------------ Brake down to about 135 mph for this first light turn. Now brake down to about 85 mph here and try to make the turn at an average of 85 mph. Be careful at the end because it will cut in so you will have to go slower there. Brake to about 75 mph at the next turn. Brake to about 55-60 mph at this next turn. Now for these next three turns, you could just let go of your accelerator to make. Brake to about 75 mph for the next turn. For the second half of that S turn. Just let go of the accelerator for a second and gas out of the exit. Now you will reach a hairpin turn, brake to about 45 mp to complete it. Accelerate and go through the next turn without even letting go of the gas. Now get to the next turn and brake to about 65 mph while making the turn. Brake down to about 75-80 at the entrance of this next turn. Let go of your accelerator through the rest of this short series of turns and brake to about 55 mph at the last turn here. Now brake down to about 65 mph and go through the next turn, let go of the accelerator if you slide too much and gas it to the finish. ------------------------------ Tokyo Route 246 ------------------------------ Gas it down this stretch and brake to about 60 mph for the first turn. You will soon reach an S turn. Brake to about 70 mph at the first turn and you could gas it through the second turn. Brake down to about 105 mph at this turn and make the whole long turn at about 115 mph. Let go of the accelerator if you start to slide or go too high above 115 mph. Brake to about 90-95 mph at the next turn and gas it through the whole thing, let go of the accelerator when you start to slide. Now gas it and you will reach a light S turn.

When you are really close to the inside part of the turn, start accelerating again. Now you should hold the accelerator throughout the rest of the turn and exit with about 90 mph. Just accelerate now and you will reach an S turn. Start to brake when you are at the 50 meter sign. You will need to be about 80-85mph for this turn. Go along the outside of the entrance to the turn. Turn in and go along the inside of the first curve. Go straight when you are lined up with the inside of the next part of the turn. Now turn around the second turn and accelerate. Now accelerate again for this longer stretch. Get about 75 meters from the turn and then step on the brake. Now start turning around this U turn without holding onto anything except for the turn button. You could make this turn at 60 mph. If you go below that, just accelerate a little more. Now you will face another long turn shortly after. Enter it at about 55 mph. Press the gas but not all the way down. When you start sliding up the track, let go of the gas. Keep turning until you complete the turn. Now stay along the right side of the track. Get down to the next turn. This one is a bit tricky. Stay on the right and brake down to about 90 mph. Now turn and try to align your car so you won't have to turn again until after you exit the S turn. This will allow you to accelerate through the turn instead of braking. Brake when you are about to exit or try to slide through the exit. Sliding isn't too difficult hear but make sure to not lose control of your car. Here will you reach a sharp U turn almost immediately after the S turn. Brake down to about 40 mph. Now go along the inside of the turn and coast around it (don't press the accelerator. When you are almost at the exit of the turn (around 30 mph) press the gas again. You shouldn't go off track and this will give you a better exit. Now go forward and you will reach an easy S turn. Just let go of the accelerator around these turns and press it again when you think you are ready. Now just cruise down the straightaway and do it again. ------------------------------ Trial Mountain ------------------------------ Go through the first turn without letting go of the accelerator. You could also go through the next turn without slowing down. Let go of the accelerator to get through the next turn. Now this turn through the tunnel will be the first turn to brake on, get down to about 50 mph. Accelerate to the next turn and brake to about 50 mph, slide through the rest of the turn by letting go of the accelerator. Get down to 50 mph again as you enter the next turn. Now just go through the next tunnel and get down to about 55 mph for this one. Just floor it down this tunnel. Brake down to about 50 mph as you go through the turn, you should reach 50 mph in the middle of the turn and then you could gas through the rest of it. Gas through these next two light turns and brake down to 50 again at the turn after those. Brake down to 45-50 mph for this next turn. Now just floor it and you could slide through the next two turns. Just drive to the finish line and you'll reach your graduation test. -------------------------------------------------- 3.5 - Driving Park [GT4.35] -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Beginner Course ------------------------------ You will have to make this whole first turn at about 45-50 mph. Don't go over 50 mph or you will just slide off of the track. Let go of the accelerator as you enter this bend. Now you will just have to tap the brakes for a second before you start sliding. Let go of the accelerator through this turn. Make this whole turn at about 60-65 mph and just get to the finish. ------------------------------ Gymkhana ------------------------------ This one is really just made to screw around in. There are cones in a circle. Those are set for you to hit while turning. The other cones are lined up. This is where you could practice to slalom, it won't really help you race but it looks pretty neat. ------------------------------ Motorland ------------------------------ Gas it through the first turn and brake to about 55 mph as you enter the next turn. You could then gas it through the rest of the turn. Brake to about 40 mph when you reach the next sharp right turn. You could then gas it through the next right turn. Tap the brakes as you enter the left turn and you could gas through the rest of it. Make these S turns at full speed. Let go of the accelerator through the last left turn. Just brake to about 50 mph for the last turn and gas it to the finish. ------------------------------ Test Course ------------------------------ This one is easy, just gas it all the way through. This track is meant to test your car's top speed. -------------------------------------------------- 3.6 - Power & Speed [GT4.36] -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Las Vegas Drag Strip ------------------------------ This one is easy, just gas it all the way through.

Your elapsed time from the moment you start from the point you stop the car will be measured. Finding the exact point to brake and how much braking force to apply are the key points here. You will need a good start here, the start is probably harder to do well in than the braking part. Brake a little after eight seconds near the center of the zero in 100 on the ground. If you brake too early, then take that into consideration for the next time you take this test. ---------------------------------------- Test B-2 : Acceleration and Braking: 2 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo '95 | Bronze - 0'12.200 | | Silver - 0'11.220 | Description - This test consists with another standing | Gold - 0'11.000 | start. Now rush to the 200-meter line and bring the car to|___________________| a full halt as near to the finish line as possible. Because the distance is greater than in the previous test, your rate of travel will be faster; thus, braking distance will also be increased. Use the breaking point from the previous test as a guide and make the necessary adjustments. You will need another good start. Brake right when you reach eight seconds. If you didn't get a good start, brake shortly after eight seconds. Now you will have a nice little break from the braking tests and go into cornering. ---------------------------------------- Test B-3 : Basics of Cornering: 1 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Honda CR-X del Sol SiR '92 | Bronze - 0'33.500 | | Silver - 0'31.500 | Description - We'll tackle the essentials of the "out-in- | Gold - 0'30.900 | out" racing line for this test using the first corner of |___________________| the Deep Forest Course. As you run flat out on the straight, veer to the outside edge of the track. Look for the curbing and the apex. If the car runs over the curbing, keep the throttle constant, because if you're too aggressive with the gas pedal, you'll invoke understeer. This will result in going off at the exit. This is another test where you will have to start the car yourself. Immediately, inch over to the right side of the track. Look at the curbing on the right side of the track. Once you are near it, start turning to the left, you can hold onto the gas for another split second to maintain a good speed. Let go after about a half a second and slam on the brakes. Slow down to about 40 mph and get as close to the left side of the track or the inside of the turn as much as possible. When you are close enough that you think you are ready to hit the throttle again, then hit the gas. You should slide out onto the right side of the track which will give you the "out-in-out" line. That means that you started on the outside of the turn, went into the inside of the turn, and back onto the outside at the exit. From here, you will just need to hold the gas down and let it ride. ---------------------------------------- Test B-4 : Basics of Cornering: 2 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Nissan Silvia Q's Aero (S14) '96 | Bronze - 0'32.300 | | Silver - 0'30.400 | Description - Using the same section of the Deep Forest | Gold - 0'29.800 | Course, this time, we'll try it in a powerful front-engine|___________________| rear-wheel drive car (FR.) Always remember that more power means faster rate of travel. Drive the same line as you did in the previous test; however, you'll need to brake harder because of the car's faster speed. And as before, once you're on the top of the curbing, keep the throttle even. If you get on the gas too much, this time you'll oversteer and spin out. Start this test the exact same way as you started the last one, inch over to the right as you get to the turn. You could turn the same way and brake at the same time. The only difference here is, you don't want to slam on the gas again. Lightly press the gas or keep tapping it so you won't spin out. If you hold it, you will just spin. When you reach the exit of the turn, that is when you could slam on the gas again. ---------------------------------------- Test B-5 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Tsukuba) ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Mini One '02 | Bronze - 1'37.000 | | Silver - 1'29.300 | Description - In order to memorize tricky Tsukuba Circuit,| Gold - 1'27.200 | do a few laps following the pace car. Try and mimic its |___________________| exact racing line. The pace car will adjust its speed to yours, so if you choose to go slower, the pace car will also. Kick it up a notch and the pace car will do the same. Again, no passing or hitting the pace car. Although it's a tight, short track, Tsukuba is essential in learning the basics of high performance driving. Go slowly and learn the track first, then gradually increase your pace. Get a good start and get as close to the pace car as possible. Get directly behind it because it will always be driving the best line. Brake for the first turn and you will have to slow down to about 35-40 mph. There will be a very light S turn for you which you should be able to go through without a problem, don't slow down at all. You will have to slow down right at the exit though. Brake to about 30-35 mph to get around this tight turn and gas it out at the exit. This next turn is rather deceiving. You will only have to brake down to about 45 mph. It looks like a sharper turn but it is not so don't brake to much. Now this next turn is light enough for you to just gas through it without letting go of the gas. This next light turn is also another easy turn where you won't have to let go of the gas. Get ready for a sharp turn slightly after, you will have to brake to about 30 mph here to get through it without a problem. Now just floor it while you go down the backstretch. Brake to about 55 mph to make this last turn and just finish the lap. ---------------------------------------- Test B-6 : Acceleration and Braking: 3 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Renault Megane 2.0 16V '03 | Bronze - 0'25.500 | | Silver - 0'23.300 | Description - We've returned to the drag strip. Now for an| Gold - 0'22.800 | even longer acceleration/braking run. This time, from a |___________________| standing start, accelerate to the 500-meter line and bring the car to a complete stop. Because of the higher speeds, it'll prove more difficult to find the proper braking point. Again, use the 100-meter point as a guideline and make the necessary adjustments. This is another one of the go and stop tests. Get a good start and floor it. Start to brake at the 450-meter line. It will be a line that goes out about 10 feet from the right side of the track. Just start braking there and hold the brake for the best result. ---------------------------------------- Test B-7 : Acceleration and Braking: 4 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Dodge Viper GTS '99 | Bronze - 0'30.000 | | Silver - 0'27.810 | Description - This is the final acceleration/braking test.| Gold - 0'27.000 | For this finale, we'll use the super high-output front- |___________________| engine/rear drive (FR) Dodge Viper. Our distance: 1,000 meters. Because you will be braking at a peak speed of more than 125 mph, finding the ideal braking point will be very difficult. Master this test, and you will find that when racing, this experience will prove quite beneficial. This is the last test like this. Just get a good start and floor it. You'll feel the car fly down this straightaway at over 100 mph with ease. Just keep going and pay attention to the signs. Slightly after the 800-meter line, is when you want to brake. If you are using the view outside of the car and behind it, start pressing the brake when you see the line appear behind you back bumper. That is the ideal time for you to stop. ---------------------------------------- Test B-8 : Basics and Cornering: 3 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Mazda MX-5 Miata J-Limited '91 | Bronze - 0'16.600 | | Silver - 0'15.500 | Description - Let's learn the basics of cornering using | Gold - 0'15.400 | the last turn of Twin Ring Motegi's last loop. Your test |___________________| car will be the Mazda Eunos Roadster. Unlike that of the Deep Forest Course, the hairpin is a right-hander. The corner is a decreasing-radius type, so make sure you apply plenty of brakes before going in. Don't try to dive into the apex. Instead follow a line similar to that of a large semi-circle. This one's easy. You get the perfect start, now all you need is the proper braking and turning. Start to brake slightly after four seconds and fall down to about 37 mph before pressing the gas again. Now just hold the gas and finish the turn off and get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Coffee Break : Maneuver Around the Cones ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Daihatsu Copen Active Top '02 | | | Bronze - -------- | Description - It's time to take a break and recharge your | Silver - 0'13.200 | We call these fun, relaxing stages, "coffee breaks." | Gold - 0'11.800 | You'll see a number of cones lined up in front of you. Get|___________________| to the finish line on the other side of the cones, without knocking them over, as quickly as possible and bring the car to a dead stop. You could use any part of the course here so look for a line that you're most comfortable with. Well the description says is all right here. Just get to the other side of the cones and stop on the finish line. There are so many possibilities to get through this that I'm not going to list them. Just remember to take your sweet time because as long as you get to the other side, you'll still get a bronze. ---------------------------------------- Test B-9 : Basics of Cornering: 4 ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - BMW M3 CSL '03 | Bronze - 0'13.500 | | Silver - 0'12.900 | Description - Now we will run the same section in a more | Gold - 0'12.550 | powerful car. Our mount is the BMW M3 CSL. Because speeds |___________________| are much higher in this car, you'll need to be more aggressive with the brakes. Use the distance markers on the side of the track as guide points. If you're too quick and hard on the throttle at the corner's exit, the rear will most likely come around, so use caution. Driving over the curbing too much also may result in a spin. Hold the throttle down and brake once the counter reaches three seconds. Brake down to about 47 mph and then let go of the brake. Continue turning and don't press the throttle until you are a little lower than 40 mph. If the car starts spinning, turn the opposite way (most likely to the left) to regain control of the car and just finish the test. ---------------------------------------- Test B-10 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Laguna Seca) ___________________ ---------------------------------------- | | Car - Citroen C3 1.6 '02 | Bronze - 2'28.800 | | Silver - 2'18.000 | Description - Let's do a lap of the historic Laguna Seca | Gold - 2'14.000 | Raceway following the pace car. The prime objective here |___________________| is to learn the track, so don't worry about setting lap records just yet. Follow the pace car and memorize its exact racing line. The infamous Corkscrew is a blind downhill left-right S curve, and getting the braking point correct is imperative in establishing a good lap time. Make sure you memorize where to apply the brakes before turning in. Get a good start and follow the pace car. Cruise through the first turn because you don't need to slow down when you go through it. You will have to brake down to about 35-40 mph for the next turn so do so and complete the turn. Brake to about 48 mph for the next turn. Stay on the left side of the track and accelerate. Get to about 55 mph at the turn to complete it. Cruise down this straightaway and you won't even have to slow down for the slight bend to the right. Now for the next turn, you will have to brake down to about 50-55 mph. Cruise up this hill and slow down to about 57 mph as you make the turn, you may slide so make sure not to get off the track. Now just go straight and you will reach a sharp turn to the left. Brake to about 35 mph here and stay on the left side of the road. There will be another quick turn to the right which will be easy to make if you're already on the left side. Keep going and you will have to brake to about 55 mph for the next two turns. For the last turn, brake down to about 30 mph. Now just keep going down the straightaway. ---------------------------------------- Test B-11 : Basics of Dirt Driving: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Toyota Celica 2000GT-Four '86 | | | Bronze - 0'19.400 | Description - Let's gauge your car-control ability on dirt| Silver - 0'18.000 | using the hairpin corner of the Grand Canyon Course. After| Gold - 0'17.650 | taking the first right-hander flat out, go as far to the |___________________| outside edge of the track as possible before turning into the corner. Try to keep a high rate of speed through this corner. Remember that on dirt, the car's steering and brakes aren't as effective as when driving on tarmac, so adapt your driving style accordingly. You could accelerate all the way through this first turn. Do that to gain speed. Slow down to about 25 mph and then let go of the brakes as you exit the next turn. Press down on the throttle again as you exit the turn and just get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test B-12 : Basics of Dirt Driving: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Peugeot 205 Turbo '85 | | | Bronze - 0'19.500 | Description - See how quickly you can take the super-fast | Silver - 0'18.000 | right-hander of the Swiss Alps Course. Because the level | Gold - 0'17.500 | of grip is much lower on dirt than on tarmac, you'll need |___________________| to rely on more than just steering to guide the car effectively. Controlling the car's balance and efficient use of the brakes are key to pointing the car's nose in the correct direction. There are lots of surface irregularities here so try not to get knocked off your racing line. This time you will get a start to work off of. You don't have to let go of the throttle at all for this test. Just floor it and go over the jump. You should be on the left side of the track when you land. Start to turn early and make sure not to turn too much because you will slide. Just keep going and make it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test B-13 : Basics of Cornering: 5 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Fiat Barchetta Giovane Due '00 | | | Bronze - 0'25.000 | Description - The final corner of Tsukuba Circuit will | Silver - 0'23.100 | test your high-speed-cornering skills on asphalt. You'll | Gold - 0'22.650 | start the test traveling 50 mph. From the outside edge of |___________________| the track, brake slightly as you approach the corner. Get to the inside of the corner as soon as possible and straddle the curbing. Keep the throttle even through this part of the corner. Just as the curbing ends, get on the throttle, and head for the outside part of the track. Make effective use of the signs located at the edge of the track to determine your braking point. Then find the optimal entry speed. Now you will enjoy another nice start for you. Just go straight and brake to about 60 mph as you enter the turn. Lightly press the throttle and let go as you slide up the track. You could do this whole turn at an average of 59 mph. Press the throttle down at the exit of the turn and you will be all set. ---------------------------------------- Test B-14 : Basic of Cornering: 6 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Infiniti G35 Coupe '03 | | | Bronze - 0'20.200 | Description - The first corner of the El Capitan course is| Silver - 0'18.800 | also quite fast; another ideal place to test your | Gold - 0'18.100 | competence of high-speed corners. Unlike Tsukuba, the |___________________| apex is deeper into the turn here, so the key is patience. Starting from the right edge of the track, look for the apex and turn in. Keep the car on the inside of the corner, and refrain from getting back on the throttle until you're almost out of the corner. Throttle on too early and you get understeer, which will cause the car to go off the track. Practice this corner a few times to find the correct throttle-on point. This is basically the same as the last test. Use the same strategy while turning and brake to about 65 mph. Accelerate when you reach the exit and make this slight bend to the right to get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test B-15 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Infineon Raceway) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Chrysler PT-Cruiser '00 | | | Bronze - 2'35.000 | Description - One of America's most popular tracks, | Silver - 2'22.600 | Infineon Raceway (formerly known as Sears Point), is the | Gold - 2'19.000 | site for this test. Follow the pace car to find the proper|___________________| racing line and braking points. This track features a number of high-speed corners where only a tap of the brakes is necessary. There's also plenty of elevation changes and blind corners hidden behind hills, so drive with caution. And no passing or hitting the pace car. Get a good start and make the slight turn to the left. You won't have to slow down at all for it. Do the same thing for the next turn to the left, don't slow down. Now you will have to brake to about 40 mph for the next turn. Now you got a nice short straightaway to gain some speed. Break down to about 57 mph for the next turn and accelerate through this short break. Just hold down the gas and you won't have to let go for the next turn. Now accelerate through this short straight and brake down to about 35 mph for this turn. You won't have to slow down at all for this first turn to the right. You will reach another turn shortly that will go to the left. Maintain an average speed of about 59 mph here as you did in the last two tests. Now you got a nice straightaway to gain some speed off of but it will lead you into a very sharp turn. Brake early here because you will need to be at about 35 mph for this turn. Now go through all of the next turns and you won't have to press the brakes. Just let go of the accelerator when you think you need to. At the last turn of the series, you will need to brake to about 75 mph. Go down this short straight and you will reach the infamous hairpin turn of Infineon. Brake where the pit starts (not where the cones start, but where the pit wall starts.) Complete the turn and just floor it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test B-16 : Graduation Test ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - BMW 120d '04 | | | Bronze - 0'25.680 | Description - In order to get your B-Class Racing License,| Silver - 0'24.200 | you'll need to tackle the middle section of Tsukuba. The | Gold - 0'23.700 | right-hander directly beneath the Dunlop Bridge can be |___________________| taken flat if you follow the proper driving line. A tricky hairpin follows; be sure you don't dive into the apex too aggressively. It looks simple and straight-forward, but looks can be deceiving. The apex is quite late, so be patient and practice, practice practice. This first turn is easy, just let go of the accelerator for a second as you enter it and you will get through it without losing too much speed. Now go through the next turns without slowing down. Brake down to about 35 mph at the hairpin turn. Complete this turn and go down the backstretch to get your B license. -------------------------------------------------- 4.2 - A License [GT4.A1] -------------------------------------------------- Please Note - For all of the tests that don't involve the pace car, you could press R3 and that will give you the best line to run in. ---------------------------------------- Test A-1 : Complex Corners : Beginner 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mitsubishi FTO GPX '94 | | | Bronze - 0'33.080 | Description - This test measures your ability to negotiate| Silver - 0'31.100 | S-curves on a high-speed track. Immediately upon launch, | Gold - 0'30.750 | take note of the red and white curbing on your right. At |___________________| the end of this curbing is the first corner, a left-hander. This corner's curbing reveals the location of the apex. Take the correct line and you should be able to get through it flat out. Cross the bridge, and then you'll come upon a right-hander. Stay as far left as you can when entering the corner and then look for the apex. Remember, this is a late-apex corner. You should also be patient with the throttle here, as you don't want to upset the car's balance in mid-turn. At the corner's exit, don't bother getting set up on the far right before the next left-hander because you don't have time. Go straight for the apex. Give a light tap of the brake pedal as you enter the corner. It's paramount you be patient with the trottle here because if you get on it too quickly, you'll provoke understeer, which will keep you from making the last turn smoothly. This test will give you a nice start as most of the A License tests will. Slowly inch your way to the left side of the track whil you are on this straight. Brake down to about 60 mph at the first turn and let go of the gas as you turn. Press the gas again when you are more towards the inside of the track but try not to fall below 55 mph. Now brake down to about 60 mph for the next turn and then press the gas through the rest of the turn. If you hit the brakes too early, you may have to let go of the gas at the exit of the turn so you don't slide off the track. Now just drive through this tunnel and you're all set. ---------------------------------------- Test A-2 : Complex Corners : Beginner 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Lotus Elise 111R '04 | | | Bronze - 0'30.290 | Description - Now let's run the same section of the | Silver - 0'29.400 | previous test in the Lotus Elise 111R. Remember that | Gold - 0'28.000 | because the Elise is a powerful mid-engine sports car, its|___________________| behavior through the esses will be different than that of a front-engine car. When going through the right-hander after the bridge, make sure you hit the brakes to transfer the car's weight to the front tires, otherwise, you'll get a lot of unwanted understeer. If you get too wide at this corner's exit, you won't be able to stay on the correct line for the following left-hander. Correctly utilizing the car's fore/aft weight balance is important here. Start off the same way as last time. Brake down to about 60 mph and let go of the gas as you make the turn. Press it again when you are ready to but make sure you don't spin out because this car spins a lot if you turn at high speeds while holding the accelerator. Now for the next turn you could just let go of the acclerator until you drop down to about 64 mph and then press the gas again. Now just drive through this tunnel and you're done. ---------------------------------------- Test A-3 : Tackling High Speed Corners: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS '03 | | | Bronze - 0'12.700 | Description - This test will see how well you negotiate | Silver - 0'12.300 | the Deep Forest track's final corner, a high-speed | Gold - 0'12.000 | left-hander. We'll use the high-output front-engine/ |___________________| front-drive Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder for this test. After launch, set yourself on the right side of the track, then start turning the wheel early to make up for the car's understeering tendencies. Tap the brake pedal to control your speed through the corner. Unless you exit the corner at the optimum speed, you'll probably go off. Starting off slowly, then gradually raising your pace as you get accustomed to the car and the corner is recommended here. This first turn is easy. Don't even ease off of the accelerator because that will just waste time. Brake to about 85 mph as you enter the turn and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Just press it again when you know you won't slide off the track. ---------------------------------------- Test A-4 : Tackling High Speed Corners: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Subaru Legacy B4 3.0R '03 | | | Bronze - 0'23.700 | Description - This is one of Suzuka Circuit's most | Silver - 0'22.500 | challenging corners, called the t30R. You'll start on the | Gold - 0'22.050 | back straight, going about 80 mph. Set yourself up on the|___________________| right side of the track. The approaching corner is tight here, so start turning immediately after you're off the brakes. If you're late turning in, you won't be able to hit the apex. As a result, you'll more than likely go off at the corner's exit. As you practice this corner, look for the optimum turn- in point for therein lies the key to mastering this corner. This one's easy. Just accelerate and you should easily get into fourth gear. Brake down to about 90-95 mph when you reach the turn while you are in the turn. Let go of the accelerator and press it again when you are ready to keep going and you know you won't slide up the track. ---------------------------------------- Test A-5 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Grand Valley East) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Audi A3 3.2 Quattro '03 | | | Bronze - 1'36.800 | Description - For this test, we'll do a lap of Grand | Silver - 1'32.000 | Valley East along with a pace car. Although Grand Valley | Gold - 1'30.500 | is a fairly flat course, the East section, with its many |___________________| shortcuts and hills, is in some ways more fun and rewarding than the full version. The first shortcut comes right after the first corner. Take caution approaching the next corner because it's a blind one, hidden behind a hill. The next shortcut is equally challenging, coming right after the tunnel. Make sure you're set up correctly on the left side of the road while you're still in the tunnel. Go forward and accelerate to get as much speed as possible. You could easily go through this first turn to the left without slowing down so don't worry about that turn. The next turn is the hardest in the track. You will have to brake down to about 50 mph. Also don't press the accelerator too much as you turn because you will just slide up the track. Go down this straight and let go of the gas for a second as you enter the first turn. Brake down to about 75 mph after completing it to make it through the second half of this S turn. Now just accelerate and you could make this turn by just letting go of the gas, you will slide a little bit so make sure not to slide off of the track. Keep going and you will have to brake down to about 45 mph to make this turn. The next turn will need you to brake to about 30-35 mph, accelerate through the second half of the turn. Go through the tunnel and you will have to brake to about 58 mph for this turn. Now keep going and brake down to about 60 mph for the next turn. Let go of everything except for the first half of this turn and hold down the accelerator for the second half of the turn. You could make the turn at a higher speed but this strategy will give you a better speed down the straightaway which is more important. ---------------------------------------- Test A-6 : Complex Corners: Intermediate 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor '98 | | | Bronze - 0'33.500 | Description - Twin Ring Motegi's S-curves is the site for | Silver - 0'31.900 | the test. Taking the correct racing line is paramount | Gold - 0'30.800 | when negotiating these corners. If your exit through the |___________________| first corner is too aggressive, you'll have a difficult time taking the proper line into the next corner. And getting away quickly from the second corner is vital because it leads into a long straight. Use the full track when exiting the second corner, going all the way to its edge. Set yourself up on the right side for the final left-hander while you're still on the straight. Start off at full speed and get to the right side of the track. Brake to about 65 mph and let go of the accelerator throughout the rest of the turn. Press the throttle again when you are ready but be careful because you may spin. Let go of the accelerator for a second around the next turn. Brake down to about 35-40 mph for the next turn and gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test A-7 : Complex Corners: Intermediate 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Volkswagen Golf V GTI '05 | | | Bronze - 0'18.600 | Description - We'll use the Nurburgring's technical | Silver - 0'17.400 | section for this test. Exit the first left-hand corner at| Gold - 0'17.200 | full throttle, and then get on the brakes as you enter the|___________________| esses. The first turn here has a late apex, so you'll have to be ready to steer the other way as soon as you exit to make it in time for the turn-in point for the second corner. If you take the correct line, you can get through the second corner flat out. Finding a nice rhythm is important when tackling this section. You get to start off with some speed in this one too. Go through this very light left turn that you start off going into at full speed. Let go of the accelerator for a second at the next turn and try to get two wheels in the grass. Don't actually try to run halfway off the road, but if you could complete the turn with two wheels on the grass, that will be a huge boost. Now keep going and brake down to about 57 mph for the next turn. Now you could just gas it through the rest of the test. ---------------------------------------- Test A-8 : Applied Cornering: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mazda RX-8 Type S '03 | | | Bronze - 0'17.150 | Description - This section utilizes the hairpin at El | Silver - 0'16.400 | Capitan, which leads to a challenging corner immediately | Gold - 0'15.880 | before the bridge. Effectively guide your car through the|___________________| various left-handers to pass this test. The first left-hander actually consists of two turns, leading onto a tighter exit. Don't panic and go to the inside right away. Stay to the middle of the track, and drive on the curbing to hit the apex. Then the next left-hander, which comes immediately after the straight, can be cleared without touching the brakes. Start off at full throttle and enjoy the mountain scenary. Let go of the accelerator for a little bit at the first turn and be careful when you hit the throttle again, you might spin. You could make the next turn without letting go of the accelerator at all, just start the turn a little earlier than usual. ---------------------------------------- Coffee Break 2 : Knock Over the Cones Laid Out in a Spiral ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Peugeot 206cc '01 | | | Bronze - -------- | Description - We'll follow that up with another "coffee | Silver - 0'29.919 | break" to revitalize your spirits. There are 100 cones | Gold - 0'28.510 | placed on the Driving Park Course. Knock all of them over |___________________| and head straight for the finish line. The cones are placed in a spiral where the arc gets larger and larger. Car control is key to knocking the cones down. Your test car is the Peugeot 206 CC. This one is really easy, just accelerate and keep turning as you hit the cones. Let go if you slide off the line because you will have to hit all of them to finish the test. ---------------------------------------- Test A-9 : Applied Cornering: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Civic Typ R '04 | | | Bronze - 0'18.900 | Description - Here, you'll be faced with real-life racing | Silver - 0'17.617 | conditions. Suzuka's famed esses is the venue. The corners| Gold - 0'17.200 | are aligned in a relatively simple manner: left, right, |___________________| left. However, you won't be able to get through them at full throttle. You'll need to brake properly for each corner to effectively negotiate this section. Keep the nose of the car pointed in the correct direction-that is key. Establishing a good rhythm is also important. And do not upset the car's chassis. The final left-hand corner has a tendency to invoke understeer, so be ready to accommodate accordingly. Start off at full throttle and move over to the right side of the track. For the first turn, you will only have to brake for a second because you will need to get down to about 65 mph while making the turn. Brake only for a second at the next turn also as you will only need to fall down to about 55 mph. Finish tthe last turn off by letting go of the accelerator for a second as you make the turn. ---------------------------------------- Test A-10 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Suzuka) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Integra Type R '03 | | | Bronze - 3'00.000 | Description - We'll use Suzuka Circuit again; but this | Silver - 2'51.000 | time we'll run the entire course, for a flying lap with | Gold - 2'48.000 | the pace car. Suzuka is a long course, so be sure to |___________________| memorize its layout and learn the proper racing lines before going all out. A variety of difficult and challenging corners exists here, such as Reverse Banking, Degner, and T30R. The best way to learn the course quickly and better your lap times is making full use of the pace car. And as before, hit or pass the pace car, and you fail. Your test vehicle is the Acura Integra Type R, DC5 version. Start off as best as you could and inch over to the left side of the track. Pay attention to what gear you are on. Brake at the entrance to the first turn jut until you drop down to third gear, then gas it again. Brake down to 55 mph and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the next turn. Now go straight for a while and let go of the accerelerator to get through the next turn. Brake for a second and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the next turn. Let go of the accelerator for the next two turns, press them again when you are ready. Again, for the next turn, let go of the accelerator. Now you will just go through a long light turn to the left, just hold down on the throttle for this turn, as you do not need to let go. Brake down to about 65 mph for the next turn. Go down this short stractch and brake down to about 45 mph for the next turn. Make this next light right turn without slowing down. Be careful though, you will have to brake down to 25 mph shortly after to go past the hairpin turn. Now you just floor it, hold it as hard as you can and get as fast as possible. Brake down to 65 mph for the next turn except brake early since you are going fast. Get down to about 50 mph for the next turn. Now here's another straightaway. Floor it down here and you will reach another turn. You will have to brake to about 85 mph here. Brake down to about 35 mph to maneuver around the S turns that are coming up. Now just go through the rest of the track with the gas held hard. ---------------------------------------- Test A-11 : Applied Dirt Driving ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione '91 | | | Bronze - 0'14.000 | Description - The cliffs of the Grand Canyon is the site | Silver - 0'13.100 | for this off-road test. Your capability of cornering on | Gold - 0'12.800 | dirt will be gauged here. This section consists mainly of |___________________| a series of right-hand corners. There's a slight left-hander soon after the start, which you should take more or less in a straight line. Then you'll come upon the first right-hander. Make sure you have the car pointed in the correct direction as you enter the turn. Immediately after this corner, the car will veer toward the edge of the track. Don't panic. Carefully aim for the inside of the next corner. Keep a consistent steering angle through both corners-like it's one big half-circle and you should be successful here. This one's easy. Just let go of the accelerator for a second around the first turn and gas through the rest of it. ---------------------------------------- Test A-12 : Applied Dirt Driving: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi '02 | | | Bronze - 0'32.770 | Description - Safely and quickly get through the three | Silver - 0'30.600 | corners of the uphill winding section of Tahiti Maze to | Gold - 0'29.500 | pass this test. The key here is to control your car as it |___________________| slides through the corners. Brake before getting to the corner; if you transfer the car's weight to the front, and get on the throttle, the car will slide. Control the slide with the steering and throttle, and get through the turn without dropping your speed. Do this and you'll not only pass this test, you'll master the art of drifting. This is the tough one, start off at full throttle and brake to about 40 mph for the first turn. Slide through the turn and approach the next. Brake to about 30 mph for this one. Brake to about 40 mph for the next turn and slide through it. You could slide through the next turn if you turn early enough. ---------------------------------------- Test A-13 : Tackling Blind Corners: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec II '94 | | | Bronze - 0'48.300 | Description - Rocks and stones abound on this mountain | Silver - 0'45.300 | trial, as do blind corners, so proceed with caution. After| Gold - 0'44.600 you exit the first tunnel, you'll be faced with the first |___________________| of two blind corners. Make sure you slow the car down properly and get to the inside of the turn. Enter the second tunnel on the right side, and exit at the left edge, straddling the side of the tunnel wall. This will set you up properly for the next corner, which is marked by yellow lines. If you're on the inside of this turn, you should be able to enter the straight at a good clip. Practice makes perfect, so try it over and over until you get the perfect run. Get a good start and make your way through the first turn, you will only have to let go of the accelerator for a second. Now approach the next turn and brake to about 40 mph. Brake to about 57 mph for the next turn and gas through the rest of it. Now go through this short tunnel and brake down to about 55 mph. Now you just have to floor it down this tunnel and the finish line will be at the top of the hill. ---------------------------------------- Test A-14 : Tackling Blind Corners: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Audi TT Coupe 1.8T Quattro '00 | | | Bronze - 0'36.490 | Description - Within the Nurburgring's middle section are | Silver - 0'33.000 | a series of tricky downhill corners. You'll be tested on | Gold - 0'32.350 | how well you handle these high-speed corners. The first |___________________| section consists of esses. They're not only blind, they're canted. If you choose to run on the outside edge here, you'll more likely go off, so be cautious right-handers. Don't stay left when setting up to turn in here; instead hug the inside of the corners. A short straight follows, which is then followed by a chicane-like left-hander. Slow down accordingly, then get back on it as you hit the apex. Make sure you're on the throttle quickly. Choose the line that allows you to get on the gas earliest. You'll get a sense of the Nurburgring's unique character through this section. Start off at full throttle and just hold it through the first two turns. It may be difficult because your car will slide at the exit of the second but this is the best way through the track. Now brake down to about 65 mph at the next turn. Gas it through the next light turn. This next turn is deceiving. You will see a light right turn, brake right when you are in the middle of it, you will have to brake to about 40 mph to get through the next turn, gas off the exit. ---------------------------------------- Test A-15 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Trial Mountain) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mazda Mazda 6 5-door '03 | | | Bronze - 2'16.000 | Description - We'll take a flying lap of the Trial | Silver - 2'07.000 | Mountain Course with the pace car. The key to successfully| Gold - 2'05.000 | lapping this course is to nail the numerous blind corners |___________________| that appeared in our previous test. Don't be intimidated by the stone walls and make use of the entire track. Take the last corner, a chicane, with plenty of caution. Normally, driving on the curbing is not a bad thing, but on this section, you're in danger of losing control of your car. Lose control here and you may hit an imposing concrete wall ahead; therefore, you'd best take the safer route. Passing or hitting the pace car results in automatic disqualification. Your car is the Mazda 6. Go through the first turn without letting go of the accelerator. You could also go through the next turn without slowing down. Let go of the accelerator to get through the next turn. Now this turn through the tunnel will be the first turn to brake on, get down to about 50 mph. Accelerate to the next turn and brake to about 50 mph, slide through the rest of the turn by letting go of the accelerator. Get down to 50 mph again as you enter the next turn. Now just go through the next tunnel and get down to about 55 mph for this one. Just floor it down this tunnel. Brake down to about 50 mph as you go through the turn, you should reach 50 mph in the middle of the turn and then you could gas through the rest of it. Gas through these next two light turns and brake down to 50 again at the turn after those. Brake down to 45-50 mph for this next turn. Now just floor it and you could slide through the next two turns. Just drive to the finish line and you'll reach your graduation test. ---------------------------------------- Test A-16 : Graduation Test ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A '02 | | | Bronze - 1'02.700 | Description - Pass this test to obtain the A-Class Racing | Silver - 0'56.000 | License. The section after the Carrousel of Nurburgring's | Gold - 0'54.150 | North Course is our test venue. It's the more interesting |___________________| technical portions of the Ring. The first thing to do here is to observe the demonstration car. Pay close attention to its speed through every turn. The wrong entry and exit speed through any of these corners will result in going off. There are also a few blind spots, so try and memorize when and where to brake and turn in. Just gas it all the way until you reach the writings on the track. Brake down to about 73 mph there. Let go of the throttle for a split second at the next turn. Shortly after, you will have to brake to about 60 mph. Now for the next three turns, you will have to be at about 85 for them but be careful near the third turn because by then you will be sliding a lot. Brake down to about 60 mph for the next turn. Brake down to 54 mph for the next turn. Brake down to 67 mph for the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Just go down this short stretch and get your license. -------------------------------------------------- 4.3 - iB License [GT4.iB] -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Test iB-1 : Braking During Turns: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Hyundai Tiburon GT '01 | | | Bronze - 0'15.570 | Description - Trail braking is the term used when you | Silver - 0'14.870 | apply the brakes as you make your turn. Let's try our hand| Gold - 0'14.440 | at trail braking through the first corner of Tsukuba |___________________| Circuit. After the start, stay to the left side of the track, then look for the point where the grass on the right ends. Then steer for the curbing. Brake lightly as you turn into this uphill corner, and get to the inside of the corner. If you're too early on the throttle, you won't make the turn. Keep even throttle, and look for the corner post up ahead for your exit. The key here is to find the ideal cornering speed. This one isn't too tough. Just hold the throttle down as hard as you can because you get the start. Gain speed and take the turn using the line, meaning start from the outside and turn into the inside of the turn. Go to the left side of the track and start to turn around it. Once you have started turning, that is when you should brake. Brake down to about 35 mph and let go of the gas until you regain traction. Now just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-2 : Braking During Turns: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (R129) '98 | | | Bronze - 0'27.300 | Description - Now we'll try high-speed trail braking using| Silver - 0'26.000 | the corners of the Nurburgring. Accelerate on the straight| Gold - 0'25.200 | upon launch. Take the first left-hander flat out. Then |___________________| veer to the left side of the track to set up for the upcoming right- hander. There's a sign post on your right, use that as your braking marker. You'll be steering as you brake, but because the corner is a late-apex one, try to keep your general driving line to the inside here. If you don't slow the car down enough or you're too quick getting back on the throttle, you'll go off at the corner's exit. Practice slowing the car down as you corner to master this section. Hold down the throttle as hard as you can and you could go through the first turn without letting go of it. Take that turn at full speed and you will have to brake for the next turn. Get down to about 55 mph for the next turn and gas through the rest of it. A good point to start braking is when your front bumper is on the same line as the sign on the right side of the road. Now you could just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-3 : Advanced Level Complex Corners: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Prelude Type S '88 | | | Bronze - 0'30.230 | Description - Two turns blend into one here at Suzuka's | Silver - 0'28.430 | Spoon Corner. After the start, take the sweeper flat out,| Gold - 0'27.600 | then you'll approach the first left-hander of Spoon |___________________| Corner. Brake appropriately and get on the curbing here. Then get back on the throttle, giving your car momentum at the exit. Now you'll need to turn into the next corner. It's tighter than the first one, and it's slightly downhill, so watch out for understeer. Tap the brakes to slow the car down and stabilize the chassis. If you're in a manual-transmission car, don't drop down to 2nd, keep it in 3rd and you'll get through quicker. You get another nice start here. Gas it through the turn that will go to the right, this turn is long but you could gas through all of it. When the turn stops, you will reach a short straight followed by a tight turn to the left. To make this turn, you will have to brake to about 55 mph. Gas through this short brake in between the turns and brake to about 50 mph at this next turn. Gas it to the finish line from here. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-4 : Advanced Level Complex Corners: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Audi S4 '03 | | | Bronze - 0'30.600 | Description - The very difficult middle section of the | Silver - 0'28.840 | Deep Forest Course is the venue for this test. You'll | Gold - 0'28.000 | drive through a tunnel after the start. Then the course |___________________| will bend to the right. Don't get worked up here and get on the throttle too quickly or you'll get understeer. After you clear the second tunnel, there's a corner after the large hill. You'll have to start steering before you can actually see the corner, or you won't be able to get to the inside. Start braking as you're cresting the hill, too. For the last corner, keep your steering inputs minimal and use the throttle to guide your car around the bend. Go forward and brake down to about 45 mph for the first turn. Keep turning and let go of the accelerator when you slide too much. Keep going and you could get through the next three light turns without a problem. Brake to about 65-70 mph for the next turn and let go of the accelerator a little so you could easily complete the turn. Tap on the brakes and let go of the accelerator just for a second each for the next turn. Now just go to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-5 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Costa di Amalfi) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Peugot 206 RC '03 | | | Bronze - 3'02.500 | Description - We're back to the pace car lap again. This | Silver - 2'50.000 | time follow the GT-R around a lap of Amalfie Circuit. This| Gold - 2'46.000 | track is known for its elevation changes and tight |___________________| corners. Observe the pace car carefully and memorize the racing line. You'll need to carefully control your speed through the downhill portion of the track. And for the tight esses that come at the end of the lap, you'll need to use the entire width of the track to get through successfully. Go forward and start following the pace car. Go through the first turn to the left without letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 25-30 mph for this next turn. Watch how the pace car brakes. He will brake, let go of the accelerator, and brake a little more. Do that to save the most time. Now brake down to about 48 mph here and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Now go straight down this stretch. Brake down to about 30 mph for the next turn. Go down this line and make the windy turns as fast as you can. Brake down to about 38 mph and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the next turn. Brake down to about 45 mph for this turn. You will only need to let go of the accelerator through these turns and you will reach a sharper turn. Brake down to about 45 mph for this turn. Now just floor it down the hill but this part is hard. Make sure not to hit the pace car because if you hit it too hard, it will make you fail. You will have to brake right before you hit him which hurts your time by a lot. Brake down to about 30 mph at the bottom of the hill, start braking right when the road gets relatively flat again, you could also watch where the pace car begins to turn. Let go of the accelerator if you start sliding up the track and gas it through the exit. Let go of the accelerator for the next turn to the right. Let go of it again for the next turn to the left. Let go a little early though. Now go through this straight and brake down to 25 mph for the next turn. This part is kind of hard and involves a lot of braking. Brake to about 15-20 mph and go down. Now brake to about 10 mph. Now just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-6 : Cone Slalom 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - BMW Z4 '03 | | | Bronze - 0'20.890 | Description - Using the straight at Fuji Speedway, we've | Silver - 0'18.560 | arranged some cones to create a slalom course. Weave your | Gold - 0'17.700 | way through the cones and get to the finish line as soon |___________________| as possible. Touch a cone and you're disqualified. As your car gains speed, it'll become more and more difficult to control. Get off the throttle as you pass one cone, then on it as you approach another. Developing a good rhythm is key here. Your test car is equipped with ASM (Active Stability Management) turned on. This system uses the brakes to stabilize the car's balance. It'll compensate for light under- and oversteer, keeping your car's chassis composed through most of the run. This one isn't too hard to complete but it is hard to get a good time on it. What you have to do is already in the description. Gas towards the first cones and let go of the gas through the turn. Keep gassing it in between the cones but letting go while making the turns around the cones. As you gain speed, turn a little earlier because this car slides a lot. Just remember that at the finish line, you have to go through the center of it because there will be cones on the other side. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-7 : Cone Slalom 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - BMW Z4 '03 | | | Bronze - 0'20.890 | Description - You'll perform the same slalom as the | Silver - 0'18.560 | previous test; however, this time ASM will be switched | Gold - 0'17.700 | off. Your test vehicle is the BMW Z4. Once you start |___________________| gaining speed, the car will have a tendency to spin, so you need to be very steady with your driving inputs here. And it's imperative that you do use the throttle abruptly in mid-turn. Keep an eye on the speedometer, and figure out the optimal speed to get through the slalom successfully. And note how different the car reacts with ASM switched off as to when it was on. Do the same exact thing as the last test except be more careful at higher speeds because your car will begin to spin as you turn. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-8 : City Street Challenge: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Chrysler Crossfire '04 | | | Bronze - 0'46.800 | Description - Now we'll use the street course in New York | Silver - 0'44.440 | to gauge your ability on taking city turns. Unlike corners| Gold - 0'43.200 | on a race track, you'll get onto the curbing for an |___________________| instant through these 90-degree corners, so make sure your entry speed is optimal. Determing the exact braking point is vital in controlling the speed of the car, so concentrate on when and how hard to apply the brakes. In the middle section of the track, there's a place where a narrow pass leads onto a large, wide road. Make sure you use all of the track here to find the most effective line possible. The last part of the track consists of a series of 90 degree corners. Don't think of these corners as separate entities, but one long connected pass. Don't be intimidated by the barriers on the side of the road, use as much as the track as possible to get through quickly. This car is difficult to turn so make sure you brake in advance. Go forwards and brake to a little less than 45 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Go down this stretch and brake to about 40 mph for the upcoming turn. Brake to about 45 mph for the next turn and let go of the accelerator if you slide up the track too much. Now just build up speed to get down this road. Now there will be a series of three tight turns all one after another. Stay at about 40 mph for the first two and you could go through the third at 45 mph. Brake to about 45 mph for the last turn and just get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Coffee Break 3 : Knock Over The Cones Laid Out In A Circle Part 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - TVR Griffith 500 '94 | | | Bronze - -------- | Description - We'll keep refreshing your spirits with yet | Silver - 0'33.333 | another coffee break. Remember the A License Test? Well, | Gold - 0'31.500 | you'll be running that course backwards for this stage. |___________________| There are 100 cones placed in a spiral. This time, knock them down from the outside. The turn becomes tighter and tighter so the difficulty level is higher. It's very important that you don't invoke understeer, so control your speed. Oh, and you don't have to knock the cones over, simply touching them is okay. This is the same as the last coffee break except now you will be running the course backwards with a different car. Just do it all as fast as you can and let go of the accelerator if you are sliding too far off the line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-9 : City Street Challenge: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Volkswagen Bora VH 4Motion '01 | | | Bronze - 0'24.000 | Description - Now let's see how good you are at finding | Silver - 0'22.660 | the right racing line. We'll use the tight sections of | Gold - 0'22.000 | the Italian street course. Right after the start, you'll |___________________| come upon a section where you'll come upon a section where you'll be sandwiched between walls. There are slight curves here, so tap the brakes and slow the car down. From there you'll come upon a series of combined corners. Use as much track as possible and try to go through in as straight a line as possible. Throttle work is key here, don't go full throttle and off throttle abruptly, try to stay even throughout. Learning the corners and maintaining a good rhythm is the key to success here. This is hard just because if you hit the wall too hard, then you fail. Just brake for a second through the first two turns. On the first sharp turn, brake to about 30 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turns and just get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-10 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Hong Kong) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - MGF '97 | | | Bronze - 2'05.180 | Description - Now for the pace car to make yet another | Silver - 1'57.420 | appearance. You'll follow it for a lap around Hong Kong's| Gold - 1'55.200 | street course. The key to this track is that the width of |___________________| it varies greatly from one place to another. Like the street course in New York, when the width of the track changes in mid-corner, use the wider portion to the maximum. When going from narrow to wide, don't presume that the curbing is the end of the corner. Envision the line all the way to the exit, even before it comes into view. When the road goes from wide to narrow in mid- corner, get the car pointed in the proper direction while you're on the wider portion or you'll be unable to make the full turn. Take in the beautiful lights of the city as you learn this track. Get a good start and you could slide around this turn. Don't hold the turn all the way, hold it about halfway (that means instead of moving the analog stick all of the way to the right, hold it about halfway to the right) because that will help you keep the most traction. Brake for a second a few times so you won't slide into the wall and continue down this stretch. Brake to about 60-65 mph for this next turn. You could make it at a faster speed if you are good but your car will begin to spin so get ready to try to correct it. Brake to about 55 mph for this next turn. Now you could go down this windy section in a straight line. Go in the straight line or you will lose too much time. Now brake to about 35 mph for this next tight turn. Now go down this short straight and brake to about 45 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the turn and gas it through the exit. Now you've got a nice long stretch to go down and gain speed. To gain the most speed, get directly behind the pace car to get a draft which will make you go faster. Brake really early for this turn. Brake where the pace car started to brake. You will need to go at about 25-30 mph through this turn. Now brake to about 45 mph for this next turn and let go of the accelerator a little so you don't slide into the wall. Now get in the draft again behind the pace car and brake to about 40 mph for this turn. Once again, get in the pace car's draft and brake to about 45 mph for this turn. Brake to about 33 mph for this next turn and go through the next at 35 mph. Now just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-11 : Competition Dirt Racing: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR '04 | | | Bronze - 0'19.800 | Description - This is a test that utilizes the high-speed | Silver - 0'18.800 | section of the Grand Canyon Course. It'll be run | Gold - 0'18.200 | simulating a real race. There are three successive jumps |___________________| after the start. Clear these and you'll approach a left-hand corner. Turn the steering slightly and get on the brakes, the rear will begin to slide out. Use the throttle and countersteer to control your drift. You'll use the momentum of this corner to slide through the following right-hander. Just don't get too far wide on the first corner's exit or you'll have a difficult time turning into the right-hander. Also, not losing control of the car through the jumps is very important. Go through this straight and don't turn as you go into the jumps or you will lose control of the car. Brake to about 65 mph and slide through the turn, make sure to straighten yourself out at the exit. Now just turn through the next turn without braking and straighten yourself out again. Now just drive a few seconds to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-12 : Driving on Snow: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (ST185) '91 | | | Bronze - 0'26.450 | Description - We'll test your car-control ability on icy | Silver - 0'24.720 | roads through successive hairpins of the Ice Arena. Cut | Gold - 0'24.000 | through the first left-right corners in somewhat of a |___________________| straight line. Then you'll come upon a left-hand hairpin. Swing the car to the right before going into the corner. Then swing it the other way as you go in. The momentum of the first swing will enable the car to drift cleanly through, as long as you countersteer and throttle properly. If your timing on the throttle isn't perfect, you'll get unwanted understeer. Use the same technique for the following right-hand hairpin. You could gas it through all of the turns in this test except for the hairpin turns. You will need to let go of the accelerator for those sometimes. Just go through it as fast as you can and make sure not to hit te walls too hard. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-13 : Tackling Undulating S-Bends ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Ford Focus RS '02 | | | Bronze - 0'33.170 | Description - We'll test your car-control ability on icy | Silver - 0'30.860 | roads through successive hairpins of the Ice Arena. Cut | Gold - 0'29.700 | through the first left-right corners in somewhat of a |___________________| straight line. Then you'll come upon a left-hand hairpin. Swing the car to the right before going into the corner. Then swing it the other way as you go in. The momentum of the first swing will enable the car to drift cleanly through, as long as you countersteer and throttle properly. If your timing on the throttle isn't perfect, you'll get unwanted understeer. Use the same technique for the following right-hand hairpin. Brake for a second through the first turn and let go of the accelerator through the rest of it. Press the throttle again when you are ready. The rest is easy. You could turn through most of them at full speed, if you feel like you are sliding up the track too much, let go of the accelerator. Just keep going under you reach the finish line and you shouldn't have a problem. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-14 : Tackling Corner Sequences Over Undulating Surfaces ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mercedes-Benz SL 600 (R230) '04 | | | Bronze - 0'40.200 | Description - We'll use El Capitan yet again, this time | Silver - 0'37.000 | we'll run through a challenging hilly section. The key | Gold - 0'36.350 | point here is the steep uphill climb after the tunnel. And|___________________| at the top of the hill is the apex of a corner, so you'll need to start braking as you're still climbing and head for the curbing on the right side. After this is the downhill part. You'll lose a lot of grip so be wary of understeer. And the exit for the following left-hander is tight; finding the right place to get on the throttle is important here. You could make it through the first few turns without a problem. When you see the sharper turn coming up, just brake for a second to get to about 85 mph. Get to the next turn and start braking as you enter the turn. Brake to about 60 mph in the middle of this turn and you will see a tight turn to the right. You could make that turn by simply letting go of the accelerator. Go through the tunnel and gas through this turn going up the hill. Let go of the accelerator through the turn going down the hill, you may also want to brake for a second. Now just gas it through the rest of the track but let go of the accelerator at the exit of the last turn so you don't hit the wall too hard. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-15 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Citta di Aria) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65 | | | Bronze - 2'23.550 | Description - Time for the pace car again. Follow it for | Silver - 2'14.930 | a lap around the Italian street course. The entire track | Gold - 2'11.000 | is very narrow, so if you don't take the perfect line, |___________________| your lap times won't be impressive. Follow the pace car closely and learn the line and where to brake. There's a diffcult hairpin corner here. The corner is deep, with a late apex. Don't get impatient and dive in too early. Gradually getting to the inside is the way to go. This is one of those cars that is hard to get a good start with so be careful with that. You could just gas it all the way through the part of the track with the buildings on each side. When you see a tighter turn to the right, that is when you want to brake. Try to get on the right side of the track quickly so you could make the next turn quicker. Brake to about 35-40 mph for the next turn. Gas it through the next turn and brake to about 60 mph for the next slight turn. You will need to keep an eye on the pace car because once he starts braking hard, you will have to brake to about 30 mph to make the turn. Gas it through the next few turns where you see that the pace car didn't press the brakes. Be careful because around one of the last corners that you could gas it through, is a narrow spot in the track where you will have to get through the middle. Now just gas it down this straight and you will enter tht series of narrow turns that you did in a previous test. You will want to take them on in the same fashion. Tap the brakes through the first few turns and brake to about 30 mph at the sharper turns at the end of this series of turns. Get in the pace cars draft and you could actually get a lot of speed here. Pay attention to where he starts to brake so you don't slam into his back end and fail. Brake to about 45 mph to complete this S turn. You will need to brake to about 35-30 mph for this next hairpin turn. Now just gas it through a series of light turns. There will eventually be one sharp turn right before the finish line where you will have to brake to about 40 mph to get through. Now just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test iB-16 : Graduation Test ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Lotus Esprit V8 '02 | | | Bronze - 0'21.300 | Description - In order to get the International B-Class | Silver - 0'19.700 | Racing License, you'll need to tackle a challenging | Gold - 0'19.000 | portion of Italy's street course (that you've just seen). |___________________| You'll be timed from the back straight to the point where you exit the hairpin. After starting on the straight at high speed, use the gate at the bottom of the hill as a braking point. The road will flatten here; you can also use this as a guide point. After the gate, there's a right-left S-curve. Keep your speed in check here. Then you'll approach a right-hander. Stay on the outside, then go to the inside at the end of the curve. Brake to about 40-45 mph at the first turn to get through the S turn. Now let go of the accelerator through the hairpin turn and gas it at the exit of the turn. Just gas it to the finish line and get your International B-Class Racing License. -------------------------------------------------- 4.4 - iA License [GT4.iA] -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Test iA-1 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Jaguar XJ220 '92 | | | Bronze - 0'35.680 | Description - You'll be tested on how well you can | Silver - 0'33.166 | negotiate your way through successive corners for this | Gold - 0'32.200 | test. We'll be using the latter half of the midfield. |___________________| Right after launch, get ready to brake for a right-hander in the tunnel. For the following corner, a long left-hand sweeper, keep on the inside and use the throttle to control the car's balance. After clearing the straight, you'll come upon S-curves, but be careful of the left-hander that follows. It's a tight one, and you'll need to begin braking while you're still in the esses. A good marker to start braking is during your transition from the first left hander of the S-curves to the following right-hander. And remember to try and brake in a straight line or you'll upset the balance of the car. Getting your straight- line braking down is the key to getting a fast time here. Brake to about 65 mph for the first turn. Now you could gas it to the next and brake for a second right before you start sliding off of the track. Now go forward and brake to about 70-75 mph for the next turn. Hold the gas and keep letting go whenever you start sliding up the track. Now get to the right side of the track. Go through this S bend ahead of you in a straight line. Brake to about 115 mph when entering the second half of the S turn. Now accelerate for a second and then brake to 35 mph. Get around this hairpin turn and get to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-2 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Alfa Romeo spider 3.0i V6 24V '01 | | | Bronze - 0'58.000 | Description - We'll be using a section of Suzuka for this | Silver - 0'53.130 | test, specifically the part from the esses to Degner | Gold - 0'52.000 | Curve. This test will again gauge your ability through |___________________| successive corners. Upon launch, you'll come upon the esses. Use the entire track to get through these corners, and carry as much speed as possible. You'll be climbing uphill, but there are some flat sections of the track here, so be prudent of understeer. Once you're clear, you'll be faced with a series of left-handers until you reach Degner Curve. For the first right-hander, use the posted braking-distance signs to determine your braking point. A tap is all you need here, then take the corner as if it were a 90-degree street corner. Once you exit, you'll be on top of a right-hander, so get on the brakes again. If you don't slow the car down enough, you'll go off at the exit. The speed you carry through Degner Curve is important for setting a good lap time at Suzuka. You could do this whole first half of the test without having to press the brakes. Look at what the line is in the Racing Strategies section to learn how to run the line and you won't have to press the brakes. Just let go of the accelerator for the first turns and you will reach a long light turn to the left. At the end of that turn, is the first time you will have to brake. Brake to about 60-65 mph to make this turn. Gas it to the next turn and brake to about 50 mph. Now just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-3 : Guide to Chicanes: 1 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec III (R34) '00 | | | Bronze - 0'19.800 | Description - We'll be attacking the B-corner chicane of | Silver - 0'17.700 | the 90's version of Fuji Speedway for this test. There's a| Gold - 0'17.350 | slight right-hander after the start, take this in a |___________________| straight line using the entire track. Head straight for the sign ahead. Use this sign to determine your braking point for the next corner. Hold off on your braking as long as possible, going as deep as you can into the turn, and get on the right-hand curbing. Once you're clear, get back on the throttle, and then on the brakes again for the following left-hander. If you head for the inside of this corner too early, you won't make the exit, so try to point the nose of the car toward the exit as soon as possible. Also, get onto the curbing. The way you approach the first right-hander here will determine your pace through the rest of the section. This car has very bad handling so I'm telling you now to brake early! Brake to about 45 mph for this first turn. Now accelerate for a second to reach the next turn. Brake to about 35 mph while making the turn. You could gas it through this next turn and to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-4 : Guide to Chicanes: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - FPV GT '04 | | | Bronze - 0'37.000 | Description - We'll be using the final part of Apricot | Silver - 0'35.298 | Hill for this test, which leads from a tight chicane to | Gold - 0'34.270 | the final corner of the track. After the start, take the |___________________| high-speed left-hander and right-hander flat out. At the bottom of the hill, there's another left-hand corner. Set yourself up on the right edge of the track. This corner leads into the esses. Drive over the curbing and stay on the inside as you enter the esses. The last corner of the esses is a tight left- hander. Try to clear this corner in a straight line, keeping in mind that the way you brake for this corner will decide on your success or failure. The key here is not to think of these corners as separate entities, but one long continuous path. Just gas it through the first two light turns, don't waste any time. Gas it down this straight and brake to about 70 mph. Coast around the rest of the turn (don't press gas or brake.) Press the brake if you slide too far up the track. Now get to the next turn and brake to 50 mph. Coast around the next turn and again, press the brake if you slide too far up. Now just gas it through this next turn and you're on the short straight to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-5 : 1 Lap Guide Run (El Capitan) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Seat Ibiza Cupra '04 | | | Bronze - 2'42.980 | Description - The pace car will be making a presence once | Silver - 2'32.440 | again. This time it will be the Seat Ibiza Cupra running a| Gold - 2'28.000 | full lap of El Capitan. The elevation changes at El |___________________| Capitan are quite intense, especially the latter half of the track after the tunnel where the undulations play havoc with the fore/aft balance of the car. Try not to invoke understeer when running here. There are many corners on this track where you'll have difficulty finding the proper racing line, so observe the pace car carefully. Immediately, start following the pace car and get in his draft line. Gas it through the first light turn and you will reach a long turn shortly after. Brake to about 55-60 mph. Keep pressing the gas and letting go around the turn, if you just hold it, you will slide right up into the wall. Keep going and you could cruise right through the next few turns. Pay attention to the pace car. When you see some sand fly up, that is when you will need to brake for the turn. Brake just for a second around this turn and keep going. Keep going and brake for a second at the next turn. Accelerate for a second and you will need to brake for another quick turn. Now just floor it down this road. You could make it through the rest of the turns on the hill no problem. Keep going and don't let go of the gas through the turns. When you slide up on a later turn, then you need to let go of the gas. Now go down the stretch here and you will need to brake to about 40 mph. Make it through the turn and let go of the accelerator if you are sliding too much. Now there you could gas it through the first turn to the left and then you will reach another turn to the left. This turn may all seem like one turn but it's really two. Let go of the accelerator for a second through the second turn so you don't slide off of the track. Get in his draft line again and gas it through this next turn. Brake early and brake to about 40 mph. Gas it right out of the exit of this turn. Gas it through this quick left and you will need to brake at the next turn. Brake to about 50 mph. You could gas it through the next two turns. There will be one long left. After that, you will need to brake to about 65 mph to make that turn. You will only have to press the brake for a second there. Now just gas it through the rest of these turns and let go of the gas when your car slides too far up the track. Now you could gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-6 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 3 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda S2000 Type V '00 | | | Bronze - 0'33.600 | Description - We'll use the first part of the Autumn Ring | Silver - 0'31.724 | for this test. A combination of unconventional corners | Gold - 0'30.700 | await. After the start, take the first left-hander flat |___________________| out, then you'll arrive at the succession of corners. The first right-left should be treated as one corner. Drive as if you're getting on the curbing for an instant, then cut through to the exit in a straight line. On the following straight, brake lightly for the next succession of corners. Take this left- right combination in the same way you took the first one. Do this and you can carry good speed through the right-hander that leads you onto the straight. Don't think about going through one corner at a time, rather think how you can go quickly through the entire stage. That's the key to succeeding here. Gas it right through the first turn. You don't need to waste any speed there. There's two approaches that you could make at this turn, one is obviously much harder to do but I'll list both anyways. Let go of the accelerator through the next two turns and gas it through the two after those. Brake down to about 60 mph before the turn and keep going through it. Let go of the accelerator if you are sliding too high up the track. Now go down this stretch on the left side of the track. Brake down to about 40 mph and coast through the first half of the turn. Gas it out of the exit. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-7 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 4 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - RUF CTR Yellow Bird '87 | | | Bronze - 0'37.000 | Description - The latter half of the Trial Mountain Course| Silver - 0'35.020 | is the venue here. We'll be using a corner with a high | Gold - 0'34.000 | difficulty rating. Be aware that the elevation changes |___________________| will likely affect the fore/aft balance of the car. After the start, use the 100-meter sign to determine your braking point for the first corner. Stay on the inside here, making full use of the yellow zone. The slight right-hander that comes next should be taken at full throttle, but be prepared for the next right-hander. The first part of this corner is blind so make sure you start braking before the corner becomes visible. You'll be trail braking so be mindful of oversteer. After clearing this corner, you'll come upon the final turn, at the bottom of a steep hill. Controlling your speed through this corner is vital. If you go in with too much throttle, you won't make the turn. Brake to about 55-60 mph a little after the entrance of the turn. That means you should still brake before the turn but keep braking while you are in the turn. Accelerate through the exit of the turn. Now you will just need to let go of the accelerator for the next few turns but be careful because the car will slide a lot. Brake down to about 55 mph for the next sharp turn and go down this stretch. Brake to about 45 mph for the next turn and accelerate through the exit. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-8 : City Street Challenge: 3 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24V '98 | | | Bronze - 1'14.900 | Description - Now we'll test you on a quirky street-course| Silver - 1'08.570 | section, from the hairpin to the final corner of the Hong | Gold - 1'06.200 | Kong Circuit. After the start, the first corner, a |___________________| hairpin, will become visible. The road is narrow here, especially when you consider the speeds you can carry, so be careful that you're not going too fast. Now you'll come upon a series of 90-degree corners. Carry as much speed as possible through these corners, using all of the track. Note that when the road goes from narrow to wide, the corners become easier to see and judge thanks to the red-and-white curbing, so you can really get on the throttle. Make full use of the braking distance signs on all the corners. Accelerate as fast as you can down this road. Pay attention to the signs on the left side. Start braking at the 50 meter sign. Brake to about 25 mph and let go of the accelerator as you go through the rest of the turn. You should hit the accelerator again at 20 mph. Brake to about 37 mph for the next turn, brake a little early so you could accelerate through the exit of the turn better. Gas it down this straight and brake to about 45 mph for the next turn. Make sure not to drive into the pit lane on the right side of the track. Brake to about 45 mph for the next turn and let go of the accelerator through it. gas after it and brake to about 35 mph for the next turn. Go through the last turn by simply letting go of the accelerator. ---------------------------------------- Coffee Break 4 : Cones - Gymkhana ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Nissan 350Z Roadster (Z33) '03 | | | Bronze - -------- | Description - Here's yet another coffee break. There are | Silver - 0'42.230 | cones placed on the lines within the Gymkhana course. | Gold - 0'41.000 | After your start, head to this area and finish the course |___________________| without touching the cones. When you get to the finish line, bring your car to a complete stop. There are a variety of corners here, including a slalom, as well as 90-degree turns, so all the techniques you've mastered so far will be put to the test. Skillful use of the throttle is definitely required. Be mindful of the car's handling balance when tackling this section. This whole beginning is just like the previous slalom test you took. Let go of the accelerator as you make the turns and gas it while you are going straight. Just coast around the next turn. Hit the brakes for these next set of cones while you are avoiding them. Now you just need to go around in a big circle and land on the finish marker. Make sure not to hit the cones before the finish marker because it's a tight squeeze. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-9 : City Street Challenge: 4 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Citroen Xsara VTR '03 | | | Bronze - 0'45.760 | Description - This test takes place in the middle section | Silver - 0'43.827 | of the Opera Paris street course. Let's see how well you | Gold - 0'42.550 | can negotiate its wide variety of turns. Accelerate out of|___________________| the box, and you'll come to a plaza with a chicane. Brake in a straight line, and drive on top of the left- and right-side curbing. Use some throttle steer here. After the following straight, you'll get to the Opera House. Trail brake into this corner. Make sure you slow the car down enough to get on top of the curbing on this first corner in the open square. For the following hairpin, be patient with the throttle and stay to the inside of the corner. The road surface has many irregularities, so if you go to the outside edges in some places, you will get understeer. Brake to about 45 mph for the entrance of this turn. Now for the rest of this series of turns, you could just let go of the accelerator. Try not to so you could get the best time but make sure you don't hit the walls too hard. Now go down this straight and there will be another series of turns. Let go of the accelerator for the first turn and brake to about 33 mph for the next. Accelerate for this short straight and brake to about 20 mph for the next turn. Now for the last turn, you could gas through it. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-10 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Fuji Speedway 2005) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Toyota Caldina GT-Four '02 | | | Bronze - 2'25.000 | Description - Let's use the pace car once again for this | Silver - 2'16.300 | test. Follow the pace car for a lap of Fuji Speedway | Gold - 2'13.000 | 2005F. The overall layout of the track is similar to the |___________________| 90's version of the track, but there are changes in the details, so don't take this new version lightly. For example, on the latter half of the track, there's a new tight corner, hidden from view, so you must exercise caution. Observe the racing line of the pace car and memorize the track's layout. Go down this stretch and brake to about 33 mph at the first turn. Now you could just acclerate down this long stretch. Never hit the gas until you are coming to the sharper turn. Brkae to about 75 mph and slide through the turn. Accelerate through this long and easy turn. Tap the brakes whenever you slide up the track too much. Now go down this short straight and brake to about 45-50 mph. Now there are a few more light turns that you could just gas through it all. Keep going without letting go of the accelerator until you reach the next sharp turn. Now you will have to brake really early. You need to get down to about 25-30 mph here. Let go of the accelerator for the next turn and there will be another light one afterwards. Just gas it through that turn. Brake to about 40 mph while making the next turn and gas it through the exit. Coast around this next light turn and get ready for the end. There is a sharp turn where you will have to brake to about 40 mph to make. Tap the brakes for the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the rest of it. Now just gas it to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-11 : Competition Dirt Racing: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution Rally Raid Car '03 | | | Bronze - 0'33.000 | Description - We'll now test your ability through high- | Silver - 0'30.694 | speed corners on dirt. The site is the final portion of | Gold - 0'29.800 | the Swiss Alps Course. You'll jump two hills after the |___________________| start, then come upon tight S-curves. Start braking on the outside of the first corner and then prepare to slide through the turn. Once you swing the rear end out and establish your drift, use the momentum to slide and drift smoothly through the left-hand corner. If you slow the car down too much before the first corner, you won't have the momentum to change the direction of the slide for the second corner. Try it over and over to find the optimum entry speed. Repeat the same technique for the next right-hander, but keep in mind that this corner is quite deep, so the key is to maintain your drift to the end of the corner. Use the steering and the throttle to keep the car pointed in the correct direction. You are going to have to brake for the first turn. Brake to about 60 mph and slide through the rest of it. Brake to about 55 mph and let go of the accelerator for this turn. Get to about 45 mph before you gas it again. Now you could just turn through the rest of this without letting go of the accelerator. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-12 : Driving on Snow: 2 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Toyota Celica GT-Four Rally Car (ST185) '95 | | | Bronze - 1'04.800 | Description - The latter section of Chamonix is the venue | Silver - 1'00.770 | for the high-speed test on ice and snow. The level of | Gold - 0'59.000 | friction of snow and ice is lower than dirt so car control|___________________| is of the essence. The key here are the hairpins. Set the car up for the drift, swinging the car out in the opposite direction, then swinging it back toward the turn. The momentum caused by the change of direction should allow you to slide through the corner more effectively. Start the slide in one direction using the steering wheel as you either hit the brakes or lift off the throttle. This feint will help you achieve a smooth powerful drift. Usually, drifting through a corner means going in at high speed, but on snow, if you don't slow the car down properly, you'll get lots of understeer. Just slide through the first turn here. Accelerate and you will have to brake to about 43 mph. Slide through it and you could slide through the next turn too. Now you will reach a hairpin turn. Get ready for it by braking to about 25 mph. Gas it through the rest of the turn and slide around it. Now go forward for another hairpin turn. Tap the brakes and slide through the rest of it. Brake to about 45 mph for the next turn and keep going to the next. You could just slide through the last turns by letting go of the accelerator. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-13 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 5 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - BMW M5 '05 | | | Bronze - 0'28.500 | Description - For our high-speed cornering test, we'll go | Silver - 0'27.030 | to the super high-speed section of the Nurburgring's North| Gold - 0'25.580 | course. Make sure you're in constant control of your high-|___________________| speed car's speed on this course. After the start, the first left-right-left can be taken flat out. Start braking for the esses when the road begins to climb. There isn't much to the first right-hander, but the following left is rather tight, so make sure you get the car slowed down enough to clear this corner. Trail braking is necessary, therefore, keeping the car on the driving surface when slowing the car down is a must. If you don't stick to the inside of the corner, you won't be able to establish a good time. The two left-hand corners are rather deep so be careful. You could accelerate through the first few turns without even letting go of the accelerator. You will need to start braking at the top of the hill. Brake to about 90 mph there. Brake to about 75 mph for the next turn. You could coast aroun this next turn but you'll have to brake to 43 mph at the exit of the turn. Now you could let go of the accelerator through the next turn and gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-14 : Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 6 ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - TVR Tamora '02 | | | Bronze - 0'15.340 | Description - Now for S-curves with a high degree of | Silver - 0'14.472 | difficulty. We'll use the latter part of Twin Ring | Gold - 0'14.200 | Motegi's road course. After the start, take the first |___________________| left-hander flat out. Then immediately get on the brakes as you approach the esses. For the first left-hander, try to get onto the curbing as deep into the corner as possible or you won't be able to make the turn for the next right- hander. If you get too anxious with the throttle for the right-hander, you'll get understeer and go off. Try to get the car in a straight line as soon as possible. Your test vehicle is a high-powered front-engine/rear drive car, which means if you get on the gas too abruptly, you'll invoke power oversteer. This one just looks confusing when you go through it. Let go of the accelerator for a second at the first turn. Now you will see three different roads branch off. You MUST take the road to the left. You could let go of the accelerator through the first turn but I advise you brake for a second. You will need to brake around the next turn to about 45 mph. Now just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-15 : 1 Lap Guide Run (Nurburgring North Course) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution III '91 | | | Bronze -10'00.000 | Description - Now for a session with the pace car again. | Silver - 9'23.000 | Let's take a lap around the challenging Nurburgring's | Gold - 9'02.600 | North course. It's an incredibly long course, with one lap|___________________| measuring about 12 miles. There are more than 170 corners here, so don't try to set a blistering time right away. You'll need to memorize the course first. Not only will you need to remember the sections you've seen before, but you'll need to learn some new bits as well. Make sure you input every inch of this track into your brain before going all out. Memorize the location of the curbing and the width of the track in various places for these bits of information will come in handy. Once you've done this, then start finding the proper line through the course. Observe the pace car carefully, and follow its line precisely. Try to get a good start and reach the first turn. Brake to about 40 mph and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Now you could gas it through the next couple of turns. Tap the brakes if you slide to far up the track. You will reach a fairly sharp turn that you will need to brake to about 70 mph. Just pay attention for when the pace car does heavy braking. Brake to about 55 mph for the next turn. Now just keep going and let go of the accelerator for the next turns. Brake to about 55 mph when you reach the sharper turn. You will have to brake to about 55 mph for the next turn and let gas it through the next. Let go of the accelerator if you slide to high up the track. Now you got a nice long straight to build speed off of. Gas it through the first light turns and brake to about 90 mph when you reach a slightly harder turn. Now gas it through the next turns and tap the brakes at the slightly harder turns. You will eventually reach a really sharp turn, brake to about 50 mph. Now you can just gas it through the next turns and you will reach the section of the track you just did in a previous test. For the turn at the top of the hill, brake to about 90 mph. Tap the brakes at the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the turn after that one. You will need to tap the brakes at the end of this turn. Now just let go of the accelerator through the next turn and gas it. Just keep gassing it through the turns and you will reach a sharper turn. Brake to about 80 mph for it. Gas it again and brake to about 45 mph for the next turn. Gas out of the exit. Gas it through the next turn and you will shortly reach another turn. Brake to about 60 mph for it. There are no more sharp turns for a while so just gas it or tap on the brakes when you slide to far up the track. When you reach the sharp turn, brake to about 55-60 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the hairpin turn shortly after. Let go of the accelerator through the next turn and gas it through the turn afterwards. Brake to about 60 mph when you reach the next sharp turn. Tap the brakes for the next turn up the hill and gas it down this straight. Tap the brakes for the next turn and there will be another turn. Tap the brakes at the entrance and let go of the accelerator through the rest of it. Slam on the brakes later on to get to about 55 mph when you reach the tighter portion of the turn. Now just gas it through the next few turns and pay attention to the banking on the road. When it seems to tilt more to the left and there is a curb there, then let go of the accelerator. All of the next turns are easy too. You will however reach another tighter turn shortly. Brake to about 85 mph there. Now you could just easily go through the rest of the turns at either full speed or letting go of the accelerator. You will eventually reach a straight with a hairpin turn afterwards. Brake to about 50 mph and let go of the acceleratore for when you slide. You will soon reach another sharp turn, brake to about 45 mph here. The next few turns are easy too. You will eventually reach a turn to the left that you cannot see too well. Brake to 60-65 mph to make that turn. Gas it and there will be another tight turn coming up. Brake to about 55 mph to make it and gas through the exit of the turn. You could now just make it through the next few turns by simply tapping the brakes or letting go of the accelerator. When you go down a hill, you will reach the next turn that requires more braking. Just brake for about a second and a half. Now get to the next turn and brake to about 50 mph to make it. Brake to about 50 mph while making the next turn and gas it through the exit. Now you have a lot of turns that you could easily make by letting go of the accelerator or tapping the brakes. You will only need to tap the brakes for about two or three of them. You will eventually reach a nice straight to build speed off of. Brake to about 80 mph at the next turn and let go of the accelerator for when you slide. Brake to about 60 mph for the next turn. Now gas it and you will need to brake to about 43 mph so brake early. The rest of the turns can be made very easily. Now you have a VERY long straightaway where you could probably reach top speed. Just keep going and draft. There will be a few more light turns that are easy to make here. Now you will have to slam on the brakes for a lot of turns here and should really slow down a lot. Nothing too major, just watch how the other cars brake and you finally reached the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test iA-16 : Graduation Test ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Nissan R92CP Race Car '92 | | | Bronze - 1'52.300 | Description - To obtain your International A-Class Racing | Silver - 1'47.000 | License, you'll need to successfully run the Sarthe | Gold - 1'43.400 | Circuit at full wick in a Group C racing car. You'll start|___________________| on the Mulsanne Straight. From here, you'll be running flat out for about 4 miles. Despite being a straight, there are slight kinks here, as well as road irregularities; be ready at all times on the steering wheel. The brakes are very powerful on this car so use the 200-meter post as the indicator to begin braking. After the right-hander, you'll be on another straight for about a mile. Then you'll be confronted with some tricky corners, one of them Indianapolis and the other, a 90-degree turn called Arnage. Treat the latter as if you were running a street course, and enjoy the rush of 237 mph on the straight. Brake to about 70 mph for this first turn. Now here's an extremely long straight. Just gas it all the way down without even letting go of the gas. Keep going all the way down and brake to about 45 mph when you reach the hairpin turn. Go down this straight and there will be one fairly sharp turn that will make you brake to 120 mph. Then shortly after is another where you'll have to brake to 50 mph. Brake to about 30 mph for the last turn and gas it to the finish. -------------------------------------------------- 4.5 - Super License [GT4.S1] -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Test S-1 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Twin Ring Motegi Road Course) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Gathers Drider Civic Race Car '98 | | | Bronze - 2'26.700 | Descrtiption - You'll be tested on how quickly you can | Silver - 2'21.110 | complete one lap of Motegi's road course. You've already | Gold - 2'17.000 | seen various parts of this track in previous tests, so try|___________________| to remember how you ran those sections when going all out here. Your test vehicle is a race car, therefore the brakes in particular are very powerful. There are many corners where you'll need to take a dedicated line and pace, so try not to dive into these corners too abruptly or you'll lose precious seconds. The main attraction of this track is the part from the first overpass to just after the esses. Your top speed on the straights will depend on the lines you take through the corners, so always keep in mind entry and exit speed. Accelerate to the first turn and brake to about 60 mph. Make this whole turn at about 60 mph. That means let go of the accelerator every so often so you don't slide up the track. Now go down this stretch and brake to about 40-45 mph. Accelerate through the exit and you could just hold the gas through the next turn. If you think you are about to slide off the track, then let go of the accelerator for a second. Now go down this stretch and you will reach another sharp turn, brake to about 40 mph to make that turn. Now you will reach the S turns. Don't even let go of the accelerator for the first turn to the right. Brake to 60 mph before entering the turn and accelerate through it. Now you could make the next turn by letting go of the accelerator just a little. Don't let go too much because you'll just waste time. Brake down to 40 mph here and let go of the gas through most of the turn. Accelerate once you are at the exit of the turn and floor it down this stretch. Brake to about 45-50 mph at this turn and let go of the accelerator through the next. Press it again when ready. Now you just have to gas it down this road. You will soon reach the next turn, brake to 45 mph here so brake early. Now you could easily complete the last few turns by just letting go of the accelerator. Let go of the accelerator throughout the whole S turn to make it with ease and just accelerate to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- Test S-2 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Citta di Aria) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Afa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto '66 | | | Bronze - 2'26.440 | Description - You'll be timed through a full lap of | Silver - 2'21.000 | Italy's street course. Go as fast as you can through these| Gold - 2'17.000 | narrow city orads. The spots to gain the most time are the|___________________| hairpin, which you've already see before in previous tests, and the downhill tight corner located between the rock walls. The hairpin is a late-apexer so don't turn in too quickly here. The numerous tight corners of this course are challenging, but if you think out-in-out on this narrow thoroughfare, you'll find that you'll develop a rhythm. Try and remember how the pace car ran through the course. Your test vehicle is the Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto. You could make these first few turns without even letting go of the accelerator through them. You will eventually reach a blind corner, that is the first turn that you will have to brake at. Brake to about 65 mph when you get there, you'll only have to brake for a second. There will be another turn right after though so get ready. Brake to about 35 mph there and coast around the turn. Don't press the gas just yet until you know you're going to start driving in a straight line. Gas through this turn and the next turn looks deceiving. Just let go of the accelerator through it. Keep turning and you will eventually see a sharper section of the turn. Brake to about 30 mph there. Go through the next two turns without even letting go of the accelerator. Now you will reach the difficult section of the track. Brake to about 70 at the entrance. Brake for just a second at the next two turns. You will reach a sharper turn, brake to 30 mph there. You could go through the ret of the tight turns at 30 mph. Now just gas it down this stretch and you will reach a sharp S turn. Brake early so you could brake to about 45 mph. Slide through the second half by letting go of the accelerator, just get ready to regain control of the car because it will slide fairly easily. Now go around this U turn by letting go of the accelerator. Now you could just floor it through these turns. There will be one fairly sharp turn going uphill, brake to about 50 mph. Now just gas it around the rest of the turns and to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-3 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Special Stage Route 5) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Saleen S7 '02 | | | Bronze - 1'33.400 | Description - Making its first appearance in the licensing| Silver - 1'27.000 | portion of the game is Special Stage Route 5, of which | Gold - 1'24.500 | you'll be doing one complete lap. This course has numerous|___________________| technical sections, such as S-curves and late-apexers, so make sure you have a plan of attack before going all out. You'll be piloting the super high- performance Saleen S7, so all your skills will be put to the test. The most important part of this track are the series of corners after the tunnel. Don't concentrate on just one corner here, rather devise a strategy for getting through the entire section. There's a hairpin located at the top of the straight. You'll need to brake while you're still drive uphill. The following straight and right-hander should be taken in a similar way. Don't get too aggressive and overcook it on this track because this track makes you pay for it. Brake down to about 135 mph for this first light turn. Now brake down to about 85 mph here and try to make the turn at an average of 85 mph. Be careful at the end because it will cut in so you will have to go slower there. Brake to about 75 mph at the next turn. Brake to about 55-60 mph at this next turn. Now for these next three turns, you could just let go of your accelerator to make. Brake to about 75 mph for the next turn. For the second half of that S turn. Just let go of the accelerator for a second and gas out of the exit. Now you will reach a hairpin turn, brake to about 45 mp to complete it. Accelerate and go through the next turn without even letting go of the gas. Now get to the next turn and brake to about 65 mph while making the turn. Brake down to about 75-80 at the entrance of this next turn. Let go of your accelerator through the rest of this short series of turns and brake to about 55 mph at the last turn here. Now brake down to about 65 mph and go through the next turn, let go of the accelerator if you slide too much and gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-4 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Costa di Amalfi) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Lancia Stratos Rally Car '77 | | | Bronze - 2'27.500 | Description - Here's a course developed on a resort | Silver - 2'21.110 | island. It's called Amalfi Circuit and you'll be required | Gold - 2'17.000 | to run one full lap. You'll experience a hill climb |___________________| that'll take you to the top of the island, followed by an intense downhill section. The course layout can be simply characterized as: a bunch of straights connected by hairpins. Keep in mind that your exit speed out of the corners will determine your top speed on the straights. Also remember that on the first-half of the course, the uphill section, you'll get more understeer than normal because less weight is on the front tires. Brake hard to transfer weight to the fronts then point the car in the correct direction. Through the latter half of the course, the downhill portion, make sure you brake in a straight line, if you brake while turning, you'll upset the balance of the car. Accelerate and go through the first light turn to the left without even letting go of the accelerator. Brake to about 35 mph for the sharp turn that is coming up. Gas it through the exit and up this hill and you will have to brake to about 35 mph again for the next turn. Gas it through the exit. Brake to about 35 mph for the next turn too. Once again, you will have to brake to about 35 mph at the next turn. Now the pattern will brake and you could go through the next turn at an average of 50 mph. You could go through this turn by just letting go of the accelerator. For the next turn, you will just have to brake to about 70-75 mph. Now you could just make the rest of the turns on this section of the track by just letting go of the accelerator. You will eventually reach a sharp right turn, brake to about 45 mph at it. Gas it at the end and floor it down the hill, at the bottom is a hairpin turn where you will have to brake to about 30 mph to make. Now you could floor it again. You will eventually reach a light S turn. Just let go of the accelerator at the first turn, gas in between turns, and let go of the accelerator through the second turn. Just make sure not to spin out. Brake to about 30 mph at the next turn. Brake to about 20-25 mph for the next turn. Brake to about 15 mph for the last turn and gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-5 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Seattle) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Ford GT '05 | | | Bronze - 1'43.200 | Description - This is another course you're seeing for the| Silver - 1'37.500 | first time in the licensing portion of the game. It's | Gold - 1'34.200 | called the Seattle Circuit, and you'll be timed doing a |___________________| full lap. We'll be using the Ford GT as the test car. It's a tricky city road course with plenty of challenging corners after another, so make sure you memorize the layout before seriously going for a good lap time. The first hairpin after the starting line is your first obstacle. You'll need to brake about 200 meters before getting to the corner; make sure you slow the car down enough to make the turn. The intense uphill straight leads to a blind 90-degree turn, so you'll have to start braking before the corner becomes visible. Then there are two places where the car gets airborne. The course widens here, so make full use of the road and open up the throttle. Use the curbing that's on most of the corners; let it help you point the car in the correct direction. This course gives you a taste of the exhilaration of high speed driving. You will have to brake really early at the first turn because this car doesn't have good braking. Get down to about 40 mph and gas it through the exit. Go down this short straight and brake to 70 mph for this turn. Now go forward and go through this light turn to the left at full speed. Brake down to about 55 mph at the very top of this hill to make this turn. You could go through this light turn to the left at full speed. Brake to about 65 mph for the next turn. You could slide through this next turn by letting go of the accelerator. You could also slide through the next two turns doing the same thing. Now you will reach the sharp turn here, brake to about 45 mph to make this turn and gas it through the exit. Now you have the nice long stretch to gain speed down. You could make the first right without letting go of the accelerator. You will soon reach a much sharper right, brake to about 65 mph to make it. Now you will reach a small series of turns. Brake just for a second at the entrance of the first turn. You could slide through the turn right after that one. Now you have a short straight. Try to position yourself to go through the next two turns in a straight line. Let go of the accelerator through the next turn and you could gas it through the next turn here. Now you will reach another sharp turn, brake to about 45 mph to make it. Now there's one more turn that's a bit of a hassle. Brake to about 75 mph when making it and go through the small S turn. Now just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-6 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Ice Arena) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Hyundai Accent Rally Car '01 | | | Bronze - 1'00.900 | Description - Driving in the snow, that's what it's all | Silver - 0'58.710 | about here at the Snow Arena Course. You'll be timed doing| Gold - 0'57.000 | one full lap. Although it's short in length, this course |___________________| is quite the challenge. The reason: the driving surface here is very slick, so steering, accelerating and braking are less responsive than on dry tarmac. Accelerating may be the trickiest, so be delicate on the throttle; remember, the most important thing is making the car progress forward. And, much in the same manner as previous tests on slick surfaces, sliding the car is the best way to get around quickly. Crank the steering as you enter a corner, lift off the gas or get on the brakes, and you'll get the rear to break loose. This will get the car to drift. Once you've done that, use the steering and the gas pedal to control the drift. If you don't have enough weight on the front tires, you'll understeer off the track. If you're too aggressive on the throttle, you'll spin, so be careful. Brake down to 50 mph at the entrance of this turn and slide through the whole thing. You could make this next light turn by just letting go of the accelerator. Brake just for a second through the hard right and slide through the turn. You could slide through the next turns by letting go of the accelerator. You will soon reach a tight left. Brake to about 40 mph there and slide through the turn. This series of turns is a bit difficult, just keep braking at the entrance of each turn and slide through them. You will eventually reach an S turn. You have to brake to about 30 mph or you will hit the wall. Slide through the next turn by letting go of the accelerator. Now you could just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-7 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Trial Mountain) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren '03 | | | Bronze - 1'38.300 | Description - Now you'll be timed for a lap around the | Silver - 1'32.000 | Trial Mountain Course, with its jagged rocks and stone | Gold - 1'30.500 | cliff walls. It's a high-speed course that requires first-|___________________| rate driving skills, so use all that you've learned from the previous tests to clear this stage. The highlight of this course is a section you've seen previously, the part after you clear the tunnel. The driving surface of the first right-hander is slick so make sure you're ready for understeer when turning in. Through the next tunnel, start on the right and gradually veer to the left. Cut across the yellow border line at the exit to get as much speed as possible for the straight. There's a tight blind corner to follow, but if you find the ideal line here, you'll be able to keep your speed high. Slide through the first two turns here by just letting go of the accelerator. Brake to about 90 mph to make it through this next turn. Brake to about 60-65 mph for the next turn, you could brake to a higher speed but you will have to let go of the accelerator through the whole turn so don't bother. Brake to about 45 mph at the next turn. You could easily make this very light left without letting go of the accelerator. Brake to about 75 mph for the hard right that is coming up. Go through the tunnel and brake to about 75 mph through that turn. Now you can just gas it down this backstretch. Brake down to about 65 mph to make this next turn, gas through the exit and let go of the accelerator just for a second if you start to slide. You could make the next few light turns by letting go of the accelerator. You will see a tighter right turn, you will have to brake to 60 mph there. Now gas it down to the sharp turn and brake to 60 mph. Let go of the accelerator through half of the turn and then gas it through the exit. Brake to about 85 mph at the first turn and gas it through the last. Just keep gassing it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-8 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Tokyo Route 246) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Takata Dome NSX (JGTC) '03 | | | Bronze - 1'42.000 | Description - For this test, you'll be timed for a full | Silver - 1'36.330 | lap of Tokyo Route 246, a street course that cuts through | Gold - 1'33.000 | the heart of Tokyo. This long track can be driven mostly |___________________| flat out, so finding the right driving line is paramount. One of the key points here is getting the braking point correct for the first corner. There's a 100- meter sign before the corner, start braking right before you get to the sign. Then you'll come upon an oval section. Driving on top of the inside curbing here will result in better lap times. The speed through the final corner under the overpass is also important. Be careful not to carry too much speed through certain parts of the track, and make sure you drive over as much of th curbing as possible. If you drive over the curbing correctly, you'll get better lap times... not only here but on virtually any other race track. Gas it down this stretch and brake to about 60 mph for the first turn. You will soon reach an S turn. Brake to about 70 mph at the first turn and you could gas it through the second turn. Brake down to about 105 mph at this turn and make the whole long turn at about 115 mph. Let go of the accelerator if you start to slide or go too high above 115 mph. Brake to about 90-95 mph at the next turn and gas it through the whole thing, let go of the accelerator when you start to slide. Now gas it and you will reach a light S turn. You could gas it through the first turn, just tap the brakes to get through the second turn. Gas it through the first light right turn and brake to about 80 mph on the tight right turn. Go through the next right turn by just letting go of the accelerator. Make the next two turns without letting go of the accelerator. You will then reach a left turn where you will have to brake to about 110 mph to make. Brake to 65 mph at the next turn and gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Coffee Break 5 : Cone Maze Challenge ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Honda Beat Version F '92 | | | Bronze - -------- | Description - This is your final coffee break. We've | Silver - 1'36.000 | created a special course within the Gymkhana course. | Gold - 1'33.000 | Inside, there are 50 cones. Your objective is to hit every|___________________| one of these cones located within the special course. You won't be disqualified by hitting the walls here, but it will result in loss of time, so be careful. You can even use reverse here, just as long as you hit every cone. Give it some thought and devise the best route to strike each one of these cones. This one is easy when you know the best route. Here is the best route I found. Go to the right at the entrance and there will be another turn to the right. Go in there and reverse out. Reverse and look backwards, turn to the left when you are about to hit the wall and get that cone. Now go forward and to the left. Keep hitting the cones and go to the left again. Keep going straight and turn left when you need to. Look at the right side and get in there the first chance you get. Hit all of those and reverse out at the end. Go through the way into this area that you didn't go in yet. Hit all of the cones here and there is a section in the middle. Hit those cones then go along the back wall and there's a path all the way to the exit. If you take that route, you shouldn't have a problem at all. I got 1'25.450 seconds on my third try total, that's how easy it is. ---------------------------------------- Test S-9 : 1 Lap Time Trial (El Capitan) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Dodge Viper SRT10 '03 | | | Bronze - 2'00.000 | Description - Now for a timed lap of the El Captain | Silver - 1'51.300 | Course, pieces of which you've seen a number of times | Gold - 1'47.800 | already. Keep in mind that this course has intense |___________________| elevation changes, so maintaining the balance of the car is vital. The key part of this track is the section after the first right-hand corner. Because the driving surface changes abruptly, be careful of sudden understeer. Also, take note of the blind corner after the tunnel. Make sure you're set up for this corner before it becomes visible. In fact, always envision the corner ahead of the one you're taking. There are parts on this track where you'll see stones and rubble to the side; there's very little grip here, so staying away from these irregularities is recommended. Gas it through the first light turn. Brake to about 65 mph at the entrance and make the rest of the turn at an average of 75 mph. You could make the next few turns without letting go of the accelerator. Pay attention to the sand and curbing on the left. When there is curbing there, that is when you'll have to let go of the accelerator to complete the turn. Brake down to about 80 mph for the next turn and you will quickly reach another turn. Break down to about 65 mph there to complete this S turn. You could make these turns going up hill without letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 75 mph when you start going down hill. You could make this next turn without letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 50 mph at the next turn and gas through the exit. Let go of the accelerator through the next turn and tap the brakes at the entrance of the following turn. Gas it down this stretch and brake to about 95 mph to make the next turn. Get across the bridge and brake to about 45-50 mph to make this next tight turn. Now you will soon reach another sharp turn, brake to about 55 mph for this turn. Make the next three turns just by letting go of the accelerator. On the fourth turn, brake to about 80 mph. Make these lasts turns just by letting go of the accelerator. Gas it to the finish and you're done! ---------------------------------------- Test S-10 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Grand Canyon) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Mitsubishi Starion 4WD Rally Car '84 | | | Bronze - 3'02.000 | Description - Let's now do a timed lap of the Grand Canyon| Silver - 2'53.000 | Course, a long, dirt track. You'll need plenty of | Gold - 2'47.000 | concentration to complete this 3.5-km circuit. The key |___________________| point here is the section near the cliffs. There are many corners where you'll need to slide the car, so car control is vital in establishing a good lap time. The important things to remember when sliding your car are braking and lifting off the throttle. The tight part at the end of the cliff section can make or break your run. Getting too flashy with your driving may result in loss of time, so be as efficient as possible. You could go through this whole first part without letting go of the accelerator. The turn to the right after this small section with the crowd barriers is where you'll have to brake, brake to about 50 mph and slide through this turn. Press the gas going through the turn and make sure to turn to the left while sliding or you will just spin. Let go of the accelerator and slide through this turn, tap the brakes before entering the next turn and slide through that turn. Tap the brakes for a second and slide through the next right turn. Slide through the next turn and you will reach a right turn right before the edge of the cliff, tap the brakes before entering that turn and slide through it. Now go down this short stretch and brake to about 50 mph at the next turn. Keep tapping the brakes and sliding through the rest of these turns. When you go uphill, then downhill, is when you could gas it through the turn. After, brake at the entrance of the turn. There are a lot of turns all in a row that you wil have to go through while letting go of the accelerator. Now slide through the rest of the turns here by just letting go of the accelerator. You will eventually reach a straight that you could gain speed off of. Brake to about 55-60 mph at the top of the hill so you could slide through this turn. Just tap the brakes and slide through the rest of the turns. When you reach the hairpin turns, just slam on the brakes before you enter them and slide through them. ---------------------------------------- Test S-11 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Opera Paris) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Renault Clio Renault Sport V6 Phase 2 '03 | | | Bronze - 1'44.230 | Description - The pristine streets of Paris is the site | Silver - 1'38.500 | for this track, the Opera Paris Course. You'll be doing a | Gold - 1'36.620 | timed lap. Although this course is relatively simple, |___________________| there are a number of chicanes placed at open sections of the track. Getting the car slowed down and effectively negotiating the chicanes are key to getting a good lap time. Because the performance of the car is so high, make sure you find the correct braking points for every corner. There are surface irregularities on this track, which tends to happen on city streets that collect standing water, so when you get set up on the outside edges of the road, you may experience understeer. The Place de la Concord serves as the start and finish line. Envision and think of this track in its entirety as you devise your plan of attack. Make all of these turns by just without even letting go of the accelerator as you make the turn. Gain some speed down this straight. Brake down to about 55 mph to make this next turn and gas it through the exit. Brake to about 50 mph while entering the next turn. You could just make the rest of the turns by letting go of the accelerator for this series of turns. Go down this stretch and build up speed. Brake to about 55-60 mph entering the next turn and go through it while letting go of the accelerator. Press the gas again when ready. Brake to about 30 mph to make this hairpin turn. You could make this turn by simply letting go of the accelerator. Build up speed here and let go of the accelerator early. Make the turn by just letting go of the accelerator. Brake down to about 35 mph here and then brake to 30 mph at the next turn. Make sure not to enter the pits and brake to about 38 mph. You could make the rest of the turns by letting go of the accelerator. ---------------------------------------- Test S-12 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Suzuka Circuit) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Nissan Motul Pitwork Z (JGTC) '04 | | | Bronze - 2'05.730 | Description - Now for a timed lap of the most famous | Silver - 1'59.437 | course in Japan, Suzuka. You'll be using the Motul Pitwork| Gold - 1'55.919 | 350Z that races in the Japanese Grand Touring |___________________| Championship. Reverse Bank, Degner, Spoon, and t30R, are some of the famous corners on this course. You'll need to use all of your driving skills to get a good lap time here. The thing about Suzuka is that you can't establish a good lap time by just concentrating on one corner. To be successful, you must always be planning for one or two corners ahead of the one you're on. This means establishing the correct line and speed well in advance. Envision the course in its entirety--not just bits and pieces at a time--and then devise your plan of attack. Brake down to about 95-100 mph at the first turn you reach. A good point to start braking at is the line that goes across the track on the pavement. Gas it through the exit and brake to about 70 mph for the next turn. Brake down to 70- 75 mph at the next turn and you could make the rest of the turns by tapping on the brakes while entering them. After you go through the long light turn, there will be a turn where you will have to brake to about 90-95 mph. Brake to about 60 mph at the next turn. You could go through this right by gassing it but you will have to brake for the next turn, brake to about 35-40 mph here. Now you've got a nice long right turn where you could gas it through, let go of the accelerator for a second about two times through this whole turn to maintain traction. Brake to about 70 mph at the next turn. The turn will continue except it will be tighter near the end, just tap the brakes when you slide up the track. Gain speed down this stretch and brake to about 90 while entering the next sharper turn. Gas it down this short area and you will reach a tight S turn. Brake to about 40 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the second portion of the turn. Now just let go of the accelerator through the next turn and you just need to gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-13 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Infineon Raceway - Sports Car Course) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Audi R8 Race Car '01 | | | Bronze - 1'22.700 | Description - California's popular Infineon Raceway is the| Silver - 1'17.300 | site for our next test. We'll be doing a timed lap of the | Gold - 1'16.120 | sports-car course known better as Sears Point. It's a |___________________| track that has been designed into the region's rolling hills, resulting in a unique layout. After the start, you'll have a steep uphill climb. It's difficult to see the road ahead, with blind corners aplenty, as well as slick spots where traction is bad, so proceed with caution. About halfway through the course, you'll be traveling downhill. After the hairpin, there are a number of slow corners; so establishing a good rhythm is key to clearing this section. Your test vehicle is the Audi R8, a race car; needless to say, speed-control is important. Gas it through the first left turn and brake to about 110 mph at the next. You will have to quickly brake while going uphill to about 55 mph. Brake to about 75 mph for the next left turn and just let go of the accelerator through the next turn. Brake to 50 mph here and gas it through the exit. Now gas it through this long section. Brake to about 85 mph at the next turn and gas it through the whole thing. Tap the brakes again if you slide too far up the track. Gas it down this short stretch and you will reach a tight turn. Brake to about 50 mph for that turn. Make the next turns by letting go of the accelerator or tapping the brakes. Keep going through these turns and you will reach the hairpin turn here, brake early so you could get to 50-55 mph. Now just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-14 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Chamonix) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Rally Car '85 | | | Bronze - 2'40.043 | Description - We'll be running a full lap of Chamonix for | Silver - 2'30.895 | this test. Let's see how quickly you can navigate this | Gold - 2'26.500 | long ice track that stretches for more than 2 miles. The |___________________| snow is partially cleared at the start of the course; nevertheless, there's very little grip and traction here. If you drive on the outside of the track where there are patches of snow, you're more than likely to spin, caused by the difference in grip between the right and left tires. In the tunnel, the snow on the ground and a number delicate on the throttle and concentrate on the forward progress of your car, and you should be okay. There are plenty of places where the car's balance will be compromised as well as the tires' traction, so refrain from being overly aggressive on the throttle, otherwise you'll spin. The driving surface is slicker here than on dirt, so be cautious. Gas it through the first left turn and go over the jump. Brake to about 45 mph for the turn after the jump. Tap the brakes at the next turn and you will need to tap the brakes at the next right turn. Let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turns and you will reach a tunnel. After the tunnel, you will reach some snow. Brake to about 50 mph while you are still on the pavement. Slide through the next turn and brake to about 25 mph for the next. Now you will be back on the pavement. Go down this short stretch of pavement and brake to about 30 mph. Now you will be back in the snow, just tap the brakes and slide through these turns in the snow. Just brake harder at the sharper turns and keep sliding through all of them until you reach the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-15 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Circuit de la Sarthe) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - Bentley Speed 8 Race Car '03 | | | Bronze - 3'36.600 | Description - The internationally famous high-speed track | Silver - 3'25.400 | of Le Mans, Sarthe Circuit 1, is the venue for this test, | Gold - 3'19.000 | one full timed lap. Our mount is the Bentley Speed 8 race |___________________| car. This course can be divided into three main high-speed sections. The first and longest, the Mulsanne Straight or Hunadiers, has two chicanes, but the most challenging is the straight that leads onto Indianapolis Corner. Here, the track is narrow, and there's a slight bend; therefore, unless you take the proper line, you're going off. And be careful not to drive on the curbing too much here. The infield section of the permanent course has elevation changes with corners that are difficult to see. There are also corners on a flat plane right after a steep uphill climb. Remember that without the proper weight on the front tires, you'll invoke understeer. Make the first right without letting go of the accelerator. Make the next right by braking down to 85-90 mph. Make the rest of the turns by simply letting go of the accelerator. Now gas through the turns after that series of turns and you will reach an area with a lot of sand. Gas through the first few turns and you will see a sharp left. Brake to about 75 mph at that turn. Now keep going and there will be one more sharp turn. Brake to 110 mph to make it. Now you will reach a nice long straightaway. Floor it down here and just keep building up speed. You wil eventually reach a section of the road that will turn to the right. Brake to 70 mph there and brake to 65 at the next turn going to the left. Gas it through the last turn and keep gassing it down this straightaway. Brake to 75 mph at the next section that will turn off to the side and tap the brakes when you turn to the right. Gas it through the last turn and gas it down the rest of the straightaway. Brake to about 50 mph when you reach the sharp right turn. Gas it down this long stretch and you will reach a light right turn. Gas it through without even letting go of the accelerator. You could gas it through the next light right turn and you will reach a sharper turn. Brake to about 135 mph there. Gas it down this short road and brake to about 55 mph while making the turn to the left. Now you've got another short stretch. Brake to about 45 mph at that turn. Gas it through this long area of light turns. You will reach a right turn that will enter as a light turn but get much sharper. Tap the brakes at the entrance and brake to 95 mph once you reach the sharper section of the turn. Tap the brakes or let go of the accelerator through the enxt turns. You will have to brake again once you see the pit lane to the right. Brake to about 75 mph. Let go of the accelerator through the second half of this S turn. Brake to about 50 mph at the next turn and go through the last turn by letting go of the gas. Now gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- Test S-16 : 1 Lap Time Trial (Nurburgring North Course) ---------------------------------------- ___________________ Car - AMG Mercedes 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car| | '92 | Bronze - 7'58.300 | Description - To obtain your Super License, you'll need to| Silver - 7'30.000 | master the ultimate challenge in sports-car driving, the | Gold - 7'07.700 | North Course at the Nurburgring. Make use of all the |___________________| skills you've learned thus far to tackle this test. Your test car has more performance than the pace car you followed previously, with higher average speeds, so always be thinking ahead. After crossing the bridge near the start of the track, you'll come upon a high-speed section where your driving line must be precise. Then there's a highly technical section that comes after the off-camber Carrouset; make sure you hug the curbing through these corners. By just changing your line slightly, you many gain more speed through some parts of this track, thus improving your lap time. You'll find that the more you lap the Ring, the more you'll discover its profound nature. Gas it at the start and brake to about 45 mph as you enter this turn. Once you see the car's at 45 mph, press the gas again. Gas it through the first right turn and brake to about 90 mph at the next. Brake to about 75 mph as you enter this series of turns. Now let go of the accelerator for these turns. At the last turn of this series (a sharp left turn,) brake to about 60 mph. Now gas it to the next turn. Brake to about 70 mph at the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the following turn. Gas it up this hill and gas through the right turn at the middle of the hill. At the very top, you will have to brake to about 105 mph. Now you could just gas it to build up speed. Gas it through the next four turns. The last one to gas it through will be down a slope. At the top of the short hill, tap the brakes at the left turn. Just to about 140 mph so you won't slide off of the track. Now you will reach a sharp turn, brake to about 65 mph at it and gas it through the exit of the turn. Now you could build up speed again by gassing it through the next few turns. You will eventually reach a hill, at the top will be the first time you will have to let go of the accelerator. You don't have to just let go of the accelerator though, brake to about 115 mph to make the left turn at the top of the hill. There will now be a series of turns. for the first turn, brake to about 70 mph. Now get to the next turn and brake to about 60 mph. Make it through this turn and you will reach a much sharper section in the turn, brake to about 35 mph at that section. Let go of the accelerator through the right turn. Now you could gas it through the next few turns. Pay attention to the curbing on the sides of the road. When the curbing is on both sides (which will be at a sharper left turn) is when you need to brake. Brake to about 100 mph at that turn. Now build up speed here and brake to about 70 mph at the next turn. Gas it through the right turn right after. Now gas it and brake to about 50 mph at the entrance of this turn. Tap the brakes at the next left turn to maintain traction. Do the same at the next turn. You will eventually reach a blind corner, all you will see ahead of you will be the silver of the guard rail. Brake to about 70 mph while entering that turn. Brake to about 50 mph at the next left turn that will come soon. Now make the next two turns without letting go of the accelerator. You will then see a wall that will be painted red and white on the right side of the wall, that's where you will want to brake. Brake to about 60 mph there. Now climb uphill and brake to about 65 mph. Gas it through these next two light turns. You will then need to brake to about 70 mph at the entrance of this turn. It will soon become sharper so brake to about 55 mph when it does. You could now hold the gas through the next few turns. Pay attention for when a red flashing "five" will appear above your speedometer. That's when you need to brake to about 105 mph. Gas it through the rest of the turns until you reach the hairpin turn. Brake to about 55 mph while making the turn. Gas it through this next section and you will reach a sharp left turn with high banking. Brake to about 45 mph and make the rest of the turn at an average of 50 mph. Gas it through the next two right turns. Tap the brakes just for a second when you reach the left turn so you don't slide off of the track. Brake to about 80 mph at the next left turn. Gas it through this turn and brake to about 70 mph at the next right turn. Make the next few turns by just letting go of the accelerator. You will reach an uphill turn, brake to about 70 mph. Brake to about 75 mph at this next left turn. Gas it and brake to about 55 mph at the following turn. Brake to about 65 mph at the next right turn. Now gas it and brake to about 55 mph while making the turn. Gas it through the next few turns and you will see a blind right turn with a red and white wall on the left side. Brake to about 75 mph at that turn. You could now make these next turns at full speed or letting go of the accelerator. You will soon reach a long right turn, near the middle of it, you will have to brake to about 80 mph. Brake to about 65 mph at the next left turn. Now gas it and brake to about 50 mph at the next left turn. You will next reach a right turn where you will have to brake to about 65-70 mph to make. Gas through the rest of the turn. Now you've got a nice long straightaway to gain some time off of. You will start going uphill when you need to brake. Brake to about 110 mph for this left turn. Gas through the following right turn. Now for the next left turn, brake to about 80-85 mph. Brake to about 45 mph for the right turn and gas through the left turn, make sure not to enter the pits. Now you will enter the last turn of the track. Brake to 40-45 mph here and gas it to the finish. You can finally get all of the licenses and compete in practically anything. ,;X2aBM .ZXXSSBr iMMMMMM@WWMi MBZZZ0M SMMMWMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMS MMMMMMMB7:. @MMMMaSXXX7Z MMMM@ :M0BM----------------\ ,MMM .rra2 M0aWM [GT4.05] \ ZMM MMMMM iMaZM-------------------\---------------------------------------- SM0 MW0MM M8a@8 5. - Driving Missions MM MMMMM MMMMM------------------------------------------------------------- MM MM Don't hit the other car(s) or drive off the track too far or you will get a five second penalty. The penalty isn't too bad it really tight windy areas but it will really hurt you on the straights. You could still gas it but it will not let you gain any speed until the five seconds run out. ---------------------------------------- 1. - The Pass : Deep Forest ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 This one is simple. Stay behind this car so you could gain speed behind with the draft. Gain speed and get to the left of him before you enter the turn. Brake to about 40-45 mph while you enter the turn. Keep trying to block him and make sure he can't get past you. Now just get to the finish line and keep blocking him. It's good to use the chase camera for this one so you won't have to keep going into the rear-view. ---------------------------------------- 2. - The Pass : Grand Valley ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 Again, get right behind this car and stay in its draft line. Keep staying behind it and watch where it brakes. Try to brake a little further on and brake to about 70 mph while entering the turn. The turn will soon get sharper so tap the brakes before you slide up the track too much. Now just block him again and get to the finish. ---------------------------------------- 3. - The Pass : Cote d' Azur ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 Get in the car's draft line again. Make the first light right turn without letting go of the accelerator. Brake to about 55 mph while making the left turn and try to stay in the draft. If you are quick enough, you should pass him on the inside of the next turn. Brake to about 35-40 mph while making that turn and bump into him. Don't bump into him too hard or you will get a 5 second penalty where you can't accelerate more than your current speed. Keep going down this stretch and brake to 30 mph at the next turn. Now just gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- 4. - The Pass : Seattle ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 This one is a lot less complicated. Just get in the other car's draft. Now when you reach the turn, brake to about 30 through the first turn. Now you could gas it through the next and to the finish. ---------------------------------------- 5. - The Pass : High-Speed Ring ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 Don't worry about this one, you have a lot of time to pass the car ahead of you. Even though the draft won't help you too much, you must still get into it. Make the first turn along the bottom. When you start sliding up the track, tap the brakes for a second. Let the car slide the rest of the way up the track. If you tapped the brakes for the right amount of time, your car should stop sliding right at the top of the track. Get in the draft again. Brake to about 70-75 mph at the entrance of the next turn and gas it through the whole turn. Get back into the draft. Brake to about 60 mph at the next turn and gas it through the exit. Let go of the accelerator if you start to slide up the track. Now is your best oppurtunity to pass him. Pass him on the left side and brake to about 60 mph at the next turn. Gas it through the exit and to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- 6. - The Pass : Tsukuba ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 This test is a little hard because the car likes to slide around. Slide through the first turn without even letting go of the accelerator. Be careful because you will have to correct yourself at the exit of the turn. Make the next two turns without letting go of the accelerator too but you shouldn't need to correct yourself. Now speed up and try to use that car as a guard rail. Don't hit it too hard or you will get the five second penalty. You could also hit it without braking at all and knocking it straight into the wall. You will get a five second penalty but you will still come ahead with the lead. Gas it to the finish. ---------------------------------------- 7. - The Pass : Midfield Raceway ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 Make the first turn by letting go of the accelerator and tap the brakes for a second. Gas it again when you're ready. Gas it through the second half of the turn and let go of the accelerator if you are sliding too much. Now gas it through the tunnel and brake to about 60 mph. Try to pass the car on the inside here. Now gas it and you will reach the S turn followed by the hairpin turn. Gas it through the first turn and tap the brakes through the second. Now you will have to brake to about 35 mph at the hairpin turn and you'll be done. ---------------------------------------- 8. - The Pass : Trial Mountain ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 You could easily gas it through the first two turns. Tap the brakes through the turn. Now brake to about 50 mph at the entrance of the tunnel and beat the other car to the finish line. ---------------------------------------- 9. - The Pass : Motegi Oval ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 Immediately get in this car's draft. Brake to about 45-50 mph through this turn and gas it to the finish. You could also speed up behind him and slam into his rear end. It will send him flying and you will get a five second penalty. That penalty won't hurt you at all as it makes it a lot easier to win. ---------------------------------------- 10. - The Pass : Sarthe I ---------------------------------------- Reward - 1,000 This one is hard. You have to do it this way or you will have a very tough time winning at the end. Immediately get into this car's draft line. You have to know how to draft here or you won't win. For those of you who still don't know, drafting is when you get behind another car so less wind will hit your car making you move faster. Keep drafting the car in front of you and pass him the first chance you get. Now get in the draft line of the next car. You will reach him at the next turn. Brake to about 70 mph at the entrance of the turn and brake to about 50-55 mph through the second half of the turn. DO NOT pass the car in second place yet. Gas it through the exit turn and get in this car's draft. Once you get fast enough, then you could pass him. Continue down this stretch and enter this turn the same way as you did the last. Enter at 70 mph. Brake to about 50-55 mph at the second turn, and gas through the exit turn. Now get in the draft of the car in front of you. You should be able to pass him at the last turn, brake to about 40 mph and gas it to the finish. Alternate Strategy: "In driving mission 10, by mistake i realised that you can drive through the chicane, over the sand saving time and going up a place. This should be used if you can't pass it the normal way" "Hi i was reading your guide and i found some thing you might want to add. On Driving Mission #10 (The Pass Sartle I). Instead of over taking carefully during the corner just drive staright over the gravel, making sure you don't hit the barrier and you should still overtake with ease." -Submitted by Nicos Countas and also submitted by Chris Marin. ---------------------------------------- 11. - 3 Lap Battle : New York ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Get the car all the way to the right side of the track. Get it so it's completely in the shadow, just don't move straight to the right, slowly inch to the right. Brake to 40 mph while entering the turn. You could now gas it through this whole long turn, you shouldn't have to let go of the accelerator at all as long as you stay on the road. Now you could just gas it down this straightaway. You will reach a series of turns at the end of this straightaway. For the first turn, you will have to brake to about 35 mph. Gas it until you reach the next turn and brake to about 30 mph. You could easily gas it through the next two turns. You will get back on a straight. Brake down to about 45 mph to make the next turn. Brake to about 45 mph at the next turn too. Gas it through the exit and make sure you don't fall below 40 mph. Brake to 45 mph again for this last turn and make it just like the previous turn. Now you will get on a nice long straightaway. Build up as much speed as you can here. Gas through all of these little turns through the road. You will eventually reach a hairpin turn, you will have to brake to about 35-40 mph to make it. Gas it through the exit of the turn. Now you just gas it down this straight and you will reach the finish line where you will have to do it again. Keep racing each lap like that, you should start passing near the end of the first lap, if you don't pass them before the last hairpin turn, restart. Take your time when passing them and strategize. Draft whenever you can to gain more speed. Only pass one car at a time, you probably won't get a chance to pass more than one but don't do it anyways. Keep drafting and keep passing the cars whenever you can. If you get to the hairpin turn on the last lap and there is a car making the turn, try to nail it, you will get a five second penalty but it will help you even more and it will be much easier to pass that car. Just make sure to not let the cars behind you pass you. Things to remember: -Exit speed is essential, always brake just a little early so you could get a better exit spee, especially on the straights. -Always draft, draft as much as possible because it will always give you a nice speed boost. When you should pass other cars: 5th Place - Last straight before the hairpin turn on first lap. 4th Place - Second straight of second lap, that is the straight before the series of ninety defree turns. 3rd Place - During/Slightly after the hairpin turn on the second lap. 2nd Place - On the straight at the end/beginning of second/third lap. 1st Place - On the hairpin turn/Slightly after of last lap. ---------------------------------------- 12. - 3 Lap Battle : Laguna Seca ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Gas it until you reach the first hairpin turn. This turn is a little hard to make perfectly so it'll take a little bit of practice. Look at the signs on the right hand side of the track, brake half way between the signs with 3 and 2 on them. You will have to brake to about 60 mph. Now you will have to use the gas- brake-gas-brake strategy to get around the turn. Try to get out of the turn with a high top speed. Now gas it and look at these signs, start braking at the very last sign. You will have to brake to about 80 mph and gas it through the exit. Now go down this short stretch. There will be more signs here. Just tap the brakes for a split second at the last sign and gas through the turn. Gas it through this next light right turn. Again, look at the signs on the outside of the turn. Start braking hard once your front bumper is aligned with the sign with the number 2 on it. Brake to about 70 mph and start gassing it again. Now go up this hill and start braking halfway between the second to last and last sign here. Brake to about 85 mph and gas it again. Now keep racing uphill. You will see the top of the hill, or what you think is the top of the hill. It goes flat there and it will go a little further uphill. Brake at where you see the top of the hill and you should brake to about 40 mph when you reach the turn. Stay on the track and complete this S turn, don't try cutting through the sand or you will just spin. Tap the brakes once you enter this next turn and gas it through the exit. You shouldn't hit the sand here, if you did, you either started pressing the brakes too early or too late. Now for the next turn you will have to brake as you enter the turn, brake to about 85 mph. Now go down this short stretch and you will reach the last turn, brake halfway through the second and third signs. Brake to about 40 mph here and gas it through the exit, that is the one turn where exit speed is really important. Just keep racing each lap like that. Make sure not to get any five second penalties. The only five second penalty you should get (if any) is when you hit the car in first place around the last turn. It will send him flying into the sand and you will slow down enough to make the turn. Things to remember: -Do NOT go in the grass/sand/dirt. If you go off the track, you will not have a chance of winning. If your one tire goes in that's ok but make sure you get out of the grass before you brake or you will just spin. -No 5 second delays, this will kill you and ruin your chance to get it, don't get a 5 second delay unless it's to hit the car in first off the track at the last turn. -That S turn is dangerous. Do NOT go off the track while making it. You might think it would be faster to cut through the sand but it's not because you'll lose control of your car as you get back on the track. -The best way to remember where to brake is to pay attention to those numbered signs on the side of the track. Remember at which sign or in between which signs you should brake at to remember the braking pattern easier. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Right after the bridge with "Hmmmmmm" written on it, but way before the S turn at the very top of the hill. 4th Place - Exit of last turn of first lap. 3rd Place - Before the S turn at the top of the hill of second lap. 2nd Place - At the first hairpin turn of the last lap. 1st Place - Last turn of last lap. ---------------------------------------- 13. - 3 Lap Battle : Opera Paris ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Be careful with this car because it spins easily. This first series of turns is a little difficult. Brake to about 60 mph for the first turn of the series, then let go of the accelerator through the rest of these turns. Be careful because if you turn too quickly you'll spin. Draft behind the car ahead of you and gas it to the next turn. Get to the next turn and brake to about 60 mph. Gas through the exit. Go down this short straight and you will reach two S turns, one right after another. Brake to about 55 mph at the first and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turns. Now gas it down this straight and the track will shift to the left. Just gas it through that. Gas it down the rest of this straight and you will reach a tricky series of turns. Brake to about 70 mph for the first turn here. Brake to about 30-35 mph for the sharp turn to the left. Brake to 35 mph for the next turn and let go of the accelerator a little towards the end of the turn to finish it. Now just let go of the accelerator through this last turn and your done for that series of turns. Try to get in the draft of the cars ahead of you and gas it down this straight. Tap the brakes while entering the next turn. Gas it down this straight and you will reach another tricky series of turns. Brake to about 40 mph while entering this hairpin turn. Brake to about 30-35 mph for this next turn. BRake to about 40-45 mph at the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the following turn. Now make this turn while tapping the brakes whenever you slide too much. Get to the finish line and do it again. Things to remember: -Learn to take the turns in this track. There is very little room for error. -No 5 second penalties here. If you get any at all, you're done. -Don't brake while on the curbing or you will just slide and spin. -You have to pass all of the cars except for the first place car before the third lap. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - The indent of the track going to the left then back to the right of the first lap. 4th Place - Second turn of the last series of turns of first lap. 3rd Place - Before second lap starts. 2nd Place - Last series of turns in second lap. 1st Place - Enterting the last series of turns of last lap. ---------------------------------------- 14. - 3 Lap Battle : Seattle ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 You might want to actually get used to the car more than you want to get used to the track. Luckily, both are available in arcade mode so start practicing there. Learn how the car moves. It doesn't turn very well at all while you are pressing the brakes. That means to either brake about 80% instead of 100%, or brake early. Both are effective so choose your poison. Once you're ready, begin the mission. Gas down this road and brake to about 40 mph to make the first turn. Gas through the exit. Now gas it down this short straight and tap the brakes for a second before entering the turn. Now gas it up the hill and you could gas it through the light left turn at the bottom of the hill. Start to brake at the last point of the hill that is flat before the top, brake to about 50 mph and gas it through the turn. You could gas it through this light right turn but get ready to brake for the following turn. You will have to brake to about 50 mph to make this turn. Now just tap the brakes before entering the next turn. You could gas it through the next turn and you will need to tap the brakes for the next turn. Now you will reach the sharp turn, brake to about 35-40 mph and gas it down this straight. Brake early for the next turn and brake to about 50-55 mph. Brake to about 45 mph to enter this S turn and let go of the accelerator through the second half of the turn. Tap the brakes before entering the next turn and you could gas it through the rest of the turn. Now gas it to the next turn, brake to about 40 mph there. Now gas it and make sure you don't go into the pits. Tap the brakes before entering the S turn and gas it through the exit. Gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Learn how to drive the car, learn how it turns. -Draft behind the cars on the long straightaways. -There are a few points in the track where a 5 second penalty won't hurt you, either way, try not to get any. -You should pass all of the cars except for the lead car on the first lap, if you can't, start over. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - During the uphill climb with the jumps of the first lap. 4th Place - The series of turns that will lead into the main straightaway of the first lap. 3rd Place - Turn after the main straightaway of the first lap. 2nd Place - S turn before finish line of first lap. 1st Place - S turn before finish line of last lap. ---------------------------------------- 15. - 3 Lap Battle : Coté d'Azur ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Brake early at the first turn and brake to about 50 mph. Accelerate through the exit of the turn and gas it up this uphill climb. At the very top, start braking, brake to about 45-50 mph and make sure not to slide or it will mess you up at the entrance to the next turn. Tap the brakes before entering it and slide through the turn. Go down this short straight and you will enter this series of turns. Brake to about 35-40 mph while entering the turn and let go of the accelerator through the turn. Gas it to the next turn once you complete it. Brake to about 25 mph at the entrance to the next turn and let go of the accelerator throughout the turn. Now gas it to the next turn where you will only have to let go of the accelerator. Tap the brakes at the entrance to the following turn and slide through this turn too. Now you will go through the long tunnel, near the end your car may start to slide so make sure to let go of the accelerator when it does. Keep going until you reach the sharp S turn. Brake to about 35 mph. Let go of the accelerator and complete this quick series of turns, once you are certain you are out, press the accelerator again. Gas it ahead and you will reach the next series of turns. Brake to about 50-55 mph entering this turn and slide through it. Slide through the next two turns and you will reach a sharper right turn, brake to about 40 mph at this turn and let go of the accelerator through the next turn. Now stay on the right hand side of the track. Make this light left without slowing down and slam the brakes through the hairpin turn, you'll have to brake to about 30 mph and let go of the accelerator around the turn. Gas it through the exit and you will reach the last turn of the track. Tap the brakes and then slide through it. Now just gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Your car has a much better acceleration than the others. Don't draft because it won't help and you might hit them getting a penalty. -This car likes to slide, so either brake early or use it to your advantage. -There are two tough series of turns, the series of hairpin turns in the middle of the track, and the series of turns at the end. Learn to take those perfectly. -Make sure your car is perfectly straight before pressing on the brakes. -Don't hold the gas too long around the long turns or your car will just slide. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - The beginning of the tunnel of the first lap. 4th Place - The uphill climb with light turns at the beginning of the second lap. 3rd Place - After the sharp S turn of the second lap. 2nd Place - The uphill climb with light turns at the beginning of the third lap. 1st Place - After the sharp S turn of the last lap. ---------------------------------------- 16. - 3 Lap Battle : Suzuka ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Gas it down this straight and you will reach an awkward two turns. The downshift hint will tell you that you have to brake to 5th gear and then quickly to 3rd. Don't pay attention to it when it says to brake to 5th gear because you won't need to. To make this first turn, just brake to 90 mph. Now gas it where it is straight and brake to about 60 mph for the next turn, now you could just gas it through the rest of the turn and through the exit. Tap the brakes before entering the first turn of this series of turns. For the rest of them, you could just let go of the accelerator. Don't be afraid to tap the brakes if you start to slide too much because you will probably need to. The series of turns will end with a long light left turn. At the next turn, brake to about 75 mph and gas it through to the next turn. Here, you will have to brake to about 50 mph and you will need to gas it through the exit of the turn. Gas it through this light right turn and you will reach the hairpin turn, brake to about 35-40 mph and let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turn. Hit the gas when you think you are ready. Now you could gas it through this long and light right turn. Brake to about 75 mph when you reach the sharper left turn. Gas it down this short area where it's straight and you will have to brake to about 60-65 mph where it starts to turn again. Gas it down this straight and draft with the other cars. You will reach a light left turn, just tap the brakes before entering it. Now you will reach the S turn but here's a little trick to get through it as fast as possible. To the right will be pavement because that's a different route this track could go on. Brake to about 55 mph and cut through that area and the grass. Try to align yourself with the next turn so you could go through it as fast as possible. Now you could just gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Draft on the straightaways. -Don't draft on the turns because they like to brake more than needed so you might hit them. -Use the trick through the grass mentioned in the walkthrough, it makes the mission a lot easier. -When cutting through the grass at the sharp S turn, make sure not to hit anybody and make sure they won't hit you! When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Sharp S turn on first lap. 4th Place - Beginning of second lap before first turn. 3rd Place - After series of turns of second lap. 2nd Place - Sharp S turn on second lap. 1st Place - Last straightaway before the sharp S turn of the last lap. ---------------------------------------- 17. - 3 Lap Battle : Infineon ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Gas it through the first light left turn and then you will reach the first uphill S turn. Brake to about 110 mph and align yourself so you could go straight to the second half of the turn, the right turn. Brake a little early and get to about 60-65 mph. Then gas it through the exit. Press the gas a little bit early because the turn is not as sharp as you may think. Gas it to the next uphill S turn. This one isn't as hard, brake to about 80 mph at the first turn and align yourself again so you could go straight to the next turn. Brake to about 70 mph at that turn and gas it off the exit. Now brake a little early for the next turn too, brake to about 50 mph and let go of the accelerator as you make the turn. Now you could just gas it through this light right turn. Brake to about 90-95 mph at the top of this hill as you make the left turn. Do the gas and brake until you think you could just gas straight out of the turn. Now you could gas it basically all the way to the next turn. Once you are there, brake to about 45-50 mph. Let go of the accelerator a little and gas through the exit. Now you will reach the final series of turns here. You could make these first two turns without letting go of the accelerator. Try to go straight through them but don't run over the curb too much or your car will jump off of the ground. Tap the brakes for the next turn and gas it through the next few turns. You will reach the last turn, a fairly sharp right turn. Just tap the brakes there and gas it to the hairpin turn. To make this turn, brake to about 45 mph. Let go of the accelerator as you go through the turn and gas it out of the exit. Now just gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Don't bother drafting unless you are still far behind the car ahead of you. -Corner exit speed is VERY important in this mission, ESPECIALLY on the two uphill S turns at the beginning of the lap. -You could gas through most of the last turns, learn which you could gas through and which you have to brake for. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - At the very beginning of the last series of turns. 4th Place - Before the hairpin turn of the first lap. 3rd Place - Shortly after the 2 uphill S turns during the light right turn you could speed through. 2nd Place - Hairpin turn of second lap. 1st Place - Right before the end of the third lap. ---------------------------------------- 18. - 3 Lap Battle : Sarthe II ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 This mission is a lot easier if you take the shortcuts. So try to take all of them listed below. Gas it down this stretch and gas it around the first light right turn. You will see the Dunlop overhead in the distance. Cut through the sand and aim towards the left half of the sign. It will slow you down a bit but it will save you time to cut through the sand. Gas it through the light left and light right turns. Now you will reach a sharper left turn that you will actually have to brake fairly hard for. Brake down to about 85 mph here and gas it through the exit. Now just tap the brakes while entering the next turn. Brake to about 105 mph a little before the turn and gas it through the exit for the best corner exit speed possible. Now gas it down this nice long straightaway. When you are approaching the sharp turn at the end of this straight, brake to about 55 mph. Now gas it again and you could gas it through the first two light right turns. The next turn will be a little sharper, brake to about 165-170 mph here. Now you will reach the first sharp turn of this series of turns, brake to about 65 mph. Now gas it to the next sharp turn where you will have to brake to about 45-50 mph. Now you could gas it through the next light left turn. This next turn is a little deceiving. It begins light but quickly starts to go sharp. Brake to about 120 mph. Tap the brakes while entering the next three turns. For the third turn, brake a little harder so you don't slide up the track. Brake down to about 115 mph at the next left turn. You could gas it through this light S turn. Gas it and you will reach a sharp S turn. Brake to about 80 mph and gas it out of the turn. Now you will reach another S turn, you could just cut through the sand in this one and there will be the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Don't go in the sand at all unless listed above, even then, stay out of the sand as much as possible. -Draft behind the cars down the straightaway when you can. It could bump your top speed up by about 7 mph. -Learn to take the turns after the straightaway as fast as possible. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Before the end of the straightaway of the first lap. 4th Place - Last S turn of the first lap. 3rd Place - Before the end of the straightaway of the second lap. 2nd Place - Last S turn of the second lap. 1st Place - Last S turn of the third lap. ---------------------------------------- 19. - 3 Lap Battle : Suzuka East ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Gas it to the first turn, brake to about 85 mph and slide through the turn. Gas it through this short straight and brake to about 55 mph for the next turn. Gas it and tap the brakes entering the turn. Now just let go of the acccelerator through the rest of the track. Tap the brakes if you slide too high up the track. Things to remember: -Don't go in the sand at all. -Draft down the straight when possible. -Learn how to take the first two turns perfectly. -This car likes to slide so brake early. -Don't turn 100% (by that I mean don't push the analog stick all the way while turning.) Try to turn with the analog stick about 75% in the direction of the turn or your car will slide. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Fourth turn of the series of turns of the first lap. 4th Place - Last turn before straightaway of the first lap. 3rd Place - After the first two sharp turns and before the series of turns of the second lap. 2nd Place - Second turn of the series of turns of the second lap. 1st Place - Last turn of the second lap. ---------------------------------------- 20. - 3 Lap Battle : Tsukuba ---------------------------------------- Reward - 10,000 Gas it down this straight and brake to about 45 mph for the first turn. Gas it through this S turn and brake to about 45 mph around the hairpin turn. Gas it through the exit. Tap the brakes before entering the next turn. Now you could gas it until you reach the next hairpin turn. Brake to about 40 mph at that hairpin turn. Now gas it down this straight. Tap the brakes while entering the next turn. Just tap it again if you slide too far up the track. Things to remember: -Brake later than the other cars. -Draft down the straightaways. -When in the lead, keep an eye on your rear view mirror to make sure the car behind you doesn't pass you. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - First turn (first hairpin) of the first lap. 4th Place - Second hairpin turn of the first lap. 3rd Place - Third hairpin turn of the first lap. 2nd Place - First turn of the second lap. 1st Place - First turn of the third lap. ---------------------------------------- 21. - Slipstream Battle 1 : Nissan Cube ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 This missions is easy except it takes too long and gets boring. Just stay in the car's draft ahead of you. Stay in it and get as close to it without hitting it before you overtake it. Pass it on the outside because the draft is a little better on that side. Make sure the cars you pass are lined up behind you and that you're lined up with the cars ahead of you for the best speed. Just keep gassing it and never let go of the throttle until you finish this mission. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - End of the first turn. 4th Place - On the backstretch. 3rd Place - Entering the last turn. 2nd Place - Middle of the last turn. 1st Place - End of the last turn. ---------------------------------------- 22. - Slipstream Battle 2 : Honda Odyssey ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 This mission is just about the same as the previous mission except for the fact that you have a different and faster car. Just stay in every car's draft that you can and pass them on the outside. Never let go of the gas. Keep doing that until you finish the mission. The trick to completing this mission is to never shift into the last gear. You will when you are about to pass the 3rd place car. Hold R2 so you don't shift up and hold it for the rest of the race. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Middle of the first turn. 4th Place - End of the first turn. 3rd Place - On the backstretch. 2nd Place - Middle of the second turn. 1st Place - Before the finish line. ---------------------------------------- 23. - Slipstream Battle 3 : Nissan Skyline GT-R ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 This mission takes a little bit of practice. First off, just like the previous mission, DO NOT shift into 6th gear. Hold R2 if you are driving an automatic transmission. Now you will have to draft the cars behind you. Pass them all at the beginning of the turn and gain as much ground on them as possible. Make sure to look in your rear view mirror because you have to let them draft off of you. On the straight, let a few of them pass you. Now draft them and pass them entering the second turn. Just keep playing 'leap frog' like that and you will eventually catch up to the car ahead of you. Once you can, draft off of that car and pass him when you can. I am not going to add when you pass each car because your position should contiuously be changing. Just don't forget to hold R2 and never let go of the gas! **Here's an alternate strategy contributed by Awais Imran (it is all copied word by word.): Hello,i just wanted to tell u that i have different way of completing mission 23 or Slipstream Battle:Nissan Skyline GT-R.Here it is.... U just have to manage the pack,which means NOT mashing X through the three laps.This works AND there is some room for error,i passed the lead car at the stretch b4 and after the tunnel ok so here are some of the points ... 1)Draft down the straight 2)Smoothly overtake from inside of the cars,DO NOT leave the accerlator until u pass them. 3)Move to front of the lead car(Not the one far away but the one which is leading the pack and here comes the secret) 4)**Leave the accelorator until ur speed is at exatly 166 mph or 167 mph and then put the pedal to the metal.** 5)Drive as much out of the rear-view as the front-view.Now make sure is car is positioned where the AI can draft you. 6) When the lead car(s) come up behind you, move swiftly, but smoothly right outside the yellow line and let as many go by as are in the pack. You actually WANT them to get a bit ahead of, but only through their own momentum. Never Never Never slow down on a straight. 7) When it's safe to pick up the draft again, pull in behind and draft for as long as possible. For this second turn, I passed on the outside on all laps (except the last one where I was clear & I just hugged the bottom of the track). 8) Repeat 4-8 times The only real 'trick' here is knowing the proper speed to drop to after the pass in a corner. I haven't experimented with this (I'm just happy I passed the thing), but I didn't just squeak out a victory, I kicked that Yellow POS to the CURB. Err on the high side (167MPH) vs. the low side (165MPH). I just re-ran the mission and I blew one draft (dropped to 165 instead of 167/166) and got run up into a guardrail in one of the corners (no penalty). Still won by 2+ seconds, passing the yellow car 1/4 way into the last turn. Bonus Tip: 1-2 cars, pass to the outside. 3+ cars, pass to the inside. When I got chucked to the guardrail I was trying to go high around 3 cars and one just rode me all the way to the outer wall. As much as possible, follow the outside yellow line. Only deviate to get out of the way of an oncoming car, to make a pass, or to cut inside on the final curve. Split times: I ran this again, first time in a while. I absolutely BLEW the start (lost 0.350 trying to get a straight line going) & the first pass. As a result, I didn't make the final pass until the final straight leading up to the start finish line. Here are the split times. Split times for 2nd try... 0.5 laps: +9.018 sec 1.0 laps: +7.776 sec 1.5 laps: +6.223 sec 2.0 laps: +4.633 sec 2.5 laps: +2.928 sec *Finish*: -0.143 sec ---------------------------------------- 24. - Slipstream Battle 4 : Amuse S2000 GT1 ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 This mission is easy. Just as easy as the first slipstream battle mission. Just keep drafting behind the other cars and pass them as late as possible. You should have no problem if you just keep drafting. You should pass one car on each straightaway. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Backstretch of first lap. 4th Place - Frontstretch of second lap. 3rd Place - Backstretch of second lap. 2nd Place - Frontstretch of third lap. 1st Place - Last turn of third lap. ---------------------------------------- 25. - 1 Lap Magic : Z Showdown! ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 Gas it down this stretch and you will reach the first turn. Brake to 60 mph and let go of the accelerator for a second. Now gas it out of the exit. You could keep gassing it through the rest of the turns until you reach a long right turn. Just tap the brakes there. You will start to go uphill a little and you won't see the road ahead of you. Just keep gassing it there because you won't need to slow down. You will eventually reach a sharp right turn, brake to about 45 mph and gas it. Now you could basically gas it through the rest of the track. The turn will get a little sharper though, brake to 125 mph there and gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -This track is relatively easy, try gassing it around most corners. -Don't get caught in the sand. -Don't draft unless you are really far behind from the car you're drafting. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Beginning of last turn. 4th Place - Middle of last turn. 3rd Place - End of last turn. 2nd Place - Before the start/finish line. 1st Place - Before the start/finish line. ---------------------------------------- 26. - 1 Lap Magic : Honda Showdown! ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 Gas it down this stretch and you could let go of the accelerator through the first turn. For the second half of this turn, brake to about 65 mph and gas it out of the exit. For this series of turns. You will have to tap the brakes at the entrance of the series of turns. You could let go of the accelerator for the first two turns, you may want to tap the brakes for the second turn. You will have to tap the brakes for the third turn of this series and you could let go of the accelerator for the last turn of this series of turns. You will soon reach a sharp turn followed by another sharp turn. Brake to 90 mph for the first turn and brake to 60 mph for the second turn. Now gas it and you will reach a hairpin turn. Brake to about 50 mph and let go of the accelerator. Now gas it through the exit. You could gas it through this long light right turn. Press the brakes to about 75 mph at the first turn. Now gas it for this short break and brake to about 75 mph for the next turn. Now gas it down this stretch. You will reach a light left turn at the end of this straight. Tap the brakes before entering the turn and gas it through the turn. This is probably the only section where it's ok to slide up the track because there is another section of paved road with a narrow strip of grass in between, still, don't go up there. You will reach a sharp S turn. Brake late here and cut through the grass. Try to align yourself with the next part of the turn. Gas it through here and gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Don't go into the sand for this track or it will slow you down! -Learn how to make the first turn perfectly, it's probably the hardest to do in the track. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - End of the long light right turn. 4th Place - On the straightaway. 3rd Place - Before the S turn. 2nd Place - After the S turn. 1st Place - Before the finish line. ---------------------------------------- 27. - 1 Lap Magic : Mazda Showdown! ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 Gas it down this stretch and don't let go of the accelerator until you reach the sharp S turn. When you reach that turn, brake to about 50 mph. Gas and let go a bit through the turn and then finally gas it off of the exit. Gas it through the next light right turn and you will reach a sharper one. Brake to about 75 mph for that turn. Gas it out of the exit and to the next light right turn, brake to about 85 mph at that turn. Gas it to the next sharp left turn and brake to about 85 mph for that turn too. Gas it up this hill and brake to about 80 mph at the top of the hill. Gas it up here and brake a little early because you will have to brake to about 35 mph for this S turn. Brake to about 80 mph for the next turn. Brake to about 85 mph at the next turn and gas it through the exit. Now you will reach the last turn of the track, brake to about 50 mph and gas it to the start/finish line. Things to remember: -Do NOT go in the grass/sand/dirt. If you go off the track, you will not have a chance of winning. If your one tire goes in that's ok but make sure you get out of the grass before you brake or you will just spin. -That S turn is dangerous. Do NOT go off the track while making it. You might think it would be faster to cut through the sand but it's not because you'll lose control of your car as you get back on the track. -The best way to remember where to brake is to pay attention to those numbered signs on the side of the track. Remember at which sign or in between which signs you should brake at to remember the braking pattern easier. When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place - Just after the bridge with "Hmmmmmm" written on it. 4th Place - Just after the S turn. 3rd Place - Just after the final turn. 2nd Place - Just after the final turn. 1st Place - Right before the finish line. ---------------------------------------- 28. - 1 Lap Magic : Celica Showdown! ---------------------------------------- Reward - 7,500 Gas it down this straight and brake to about 45 mph at the turn.

It takes a LOT of practice and you will have to master a few things such as sliding through the grass and wallriding. Don't give up if you really want 100% because you will eventually beat this mission. It probably took me a good 9 or so hours learning this track before I could finally get it so don't give up! If you're not very patient I suggest practicing the two license test at Nurburgring and trying to get gold in them. If you don't mind the wait, I highly recommend just practicing this mission. That's what I did and I probably beat it quicker since I got the feeling for the track AND the car at the same time. Now that that's said and done, let's begin. Gas it towards the first turn and brake to about 50 mph for it. Gas it through the exit for a good speed down this straight. Gas it through the first light right turn. Now tap the brakes a bit before the next turn and let go of the accelerator through the turn. Now gas it down this straight and towards the series of turns. You need to brake a little late because you can brake through the turns here. You should get down to about 70 mph at the second turn of this series of turns. Now gas it through the next right turn. Here you could cut through the grass and you will end up at the end of this series of turns. It may take a bit of practice to learn how to cut through the grass there but it will definately help you. Now brake at the next S turn to about 60 mph. Gas it through the second turn and keep gassing it to the first checkpoint. After the first checkpoint, you will reach a sharp hill. Press the brakes before you reach the top or you will just spin when you land. Brake for the next turn at about 105 mph. Now you could keep gassing it. You will eventually reach an hill. When you go up the hill, make sure your car is perfectly balanced or you will spin when you land. You will then reach a slight left turn where you will have to brake to about 130 mph for that turn. You could brake a little late for the next turn too, brake to about 60 mph here and gas it through the exit. Now you could gas it around all of these turns. After the final turn and when you start going uphill is when you will need to brake. Brake to about 105 mph there. Now gas it to the next quick turn. Brake to about 85 mph for that turn. Now gas it through the exit and brake to about 65 mph for the next turn. Here is the next spot where cutting through the grass will help you. Slide through the grass and try to line yourself up perfectly so you could gas it down this straight. Keep gassing it through the next few turns and you will reach a sharp left turn. Brake to about 105 mph there and gas it to the next sharp turn. Brake a little early and brake to about 65 mph and gas it through the exit. Keep gassing it and you will reach a sharp right turn. Brake to about 60 mph here and gas it through the exit. You will next reach an S turn, let go of the accelerator through both parts of the turn. Now you will have to brake fairly early and hard here. Brake until you here the car shift down (about 85 mph.) Now you could gas it through all of these turns and to the next series of turns. This will give you the best speed possible. Gas it to the next series of turns and brake late, brake to about 45 mph by the hairpin turn, now you could just gas it to the next checkpoint. The next turn, is where you will have to learn how to wallride. The best thing to do is get close to the wall and in the grass. Start turning a little early and your car will slide. If your front end doesn't hit the wall, then it's easier to avoid the penalty. Ride along the wall and through this turn. Get to the next turn and brake to about 75 mph. Gas it through the exit of this turn. Gas it through the next light left turn and you will reach a sharp right turn. Here is another turn you could wallride. Now gas it to the next checkpoint. You could now gas it through most of these turns. The first and only turn of the series of turns you will have to brake for is a sharper left turn. It will come shortly after an S turn that will be a light right followed by a light left. Brake to about 120 mph here. Now gas it to the next checkpoint. Tap the brakes to get down to about 115 mph for the next right turn. Next you will reach the first hairpin turn. Brake early and brake to about 50 mph. Now gas it up this hill and you could wallride around the next hairpin turn. Keep holding the gas once you start to wallride. Gas it through the right turn after the hairpin turn. Now gas it to the next left turn, let go of the accelerator through that turn. Now brake to about 85-90 mph for the next sharp left turn. Gas it through the first right turn and brake to about 70 mph for the next right turn. You just need to hold the brakes for a second around the next few turns, to bring you down about 15 mph. On the last few turns of this series of turns, you will have to brake a little harder. Now you will reach a sharper right turn where you will see sand just ahead of it. Brake early and before that dip so you could slow down in time. Brake to about 80 mph. Now you could let go of the accelerator through the rest of the turns. You may have to tap the brakes at the bottom of the hill. You will eventually reach a sharper right turn, wallride here. Now brake to about 65 mph. Now get to the next turn and brake to about 60 mph and gas it through the exit. PRess the brakes for a second at the top of the hill and press it again near the middle of the turn so you could maintain traction. Now gas it down this straight, you need to let go of the accelerator a little early at the last turn. Brake late and you could cut through the grass everywhere here. Keep cutting through the grass and brake to about 45-50 mph at the last turn. Now gas it to the finish line and if you did it all right, you will come up in the lead. Things to remember: -DON'T GIVE UP!! -Learn how to wallride. This is riding along the wall without getting the 5 second penalty. -Learn how to steer this car while it's in the grass. There are a few spots where it's MUCH quicker to cut through the grass. -If you ever mess up really badly anywhere, don't just restart. Stop and go back to about 40 seconds before where you messed up. Now start racing that area again and keep doing to until you learn how to make the turn. Same goes for when you are trying to test out some tricks, if you get a 5 second penalty, don't just restart. Turn around and get back to where that turn is (go further back so you could take the turn at the same speed) and keep testing it out until you finally get it right. -Keep practicing!! -Be VERY careful while passing the other cars, you got this far, don't screw up just because of something stupid. -Learn where braking early or braking late will come in handy. -Learn how to make some of the series of turns as fast as possible. There are a few tricks listed above about where you could brake a lot more than you need to but it will definately help you through the whole turn. -Brake a little harder on the turn right before the straight-away, this will give you a better exit speed. -A few minor mistakes are tolerable but any major mistakes are out of the question. I probably screwed up at least 5 times around a few turns on the run that I won so it's still possible to win. -If your split times don't match, keep racing. You probably still need to learn the track so keep racing so you could learn it. Split Times: I don't normally add these but for this mission, I find it a bit necessary. That and the split times in the other FAQ/Walkthrough is just a bit ridiculous since they're not even close to being possible. I also made a few mistakes so you could probably be further ahead of where I was. +1'49.043 +1'41.538 +1'31.737 +1'19.374 +0'53.522 +0'37.402 +0'31.041 +0'25.422 +0'14.100 +0'05.913 -0'00.461 When you should pass the other cars: 5th Place -

These cars are just Black Versions of the existing model so they are just a solid black, none of the sponser label stuff. They are indeed very nice looking but come at a hefty price. The first two are found in Used Car Room Number 2 and the last two are found in Used Car Room Number 1. Here are the four cars and their cost: Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car '98 (2 924 999 credits) Toyota GT-ONE Race Car (2 924 999 credits) Mazada 787B Race Car '91 (1 224 999 credits) Nissan R92CP Race Car '92 (1 224 999 credits) I found them on day 694 and after I bought all four, my day count was at 699. They disappear on Day 701. So there is a time frame of 7 days to get." ,;X2aBM .ZXXSSBr iMMMMMM@WWMi MBZZZ0M SMMMWMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMS MMMMMMMB7:. @MMMMaSXXX7Z MMMM@ :M0BM----------------\ ,MMM .rra2 M0aWM [GT4.10] \ ZMM MMMMM iMaZM-------------------\---------------------------------------- SM0 MW0MM M8a@8 10. - Frequently Asked Questions MM MMMMM MMMMM------------------------------------------------------------- MM MM Q : Is there anyway you could buy a car without saving because I would like to test them out first. A : You can't really do that through the options but here is an alternate way of doing it. First off, you need at least TWO memory cards. Copy the save file from one to the other keeping it as backup. Buy the car and test it out. If you don't like it, delete the file that you bought the car with. Then you could copy your backup file back to the other memory card and you get all of your money back. Keep doing that until you find the car you like and then you could save it for good. Q : How do I transfer the data from Gran Turismo 3 to Gran Turismo 4? A : First off you need to make sure that you have data from Gran Turismo 3 on one of the memory cards. Go to Home and then Status. Press start and confirm it, just make sure you want to do it because you could only do it once. Q : How do you turn auto-save off? A : Go to Home and then options. Go to the very bottom and to the Misc section. Switch the Autosave to Restricted. Q : If you get all golds in the license tests, do you get the car for the golds or do you get all three? A : You will get all the cars as if you got all Bronze, all Silver, and all Gold. Q : How many cars are there? A : There are 721 cars total. Q : What do the A-Spec Points do? A : I'm not entirely sure about this but I think it just gives you the ability to drive the special cars once you gain enough of them. If anybody knows exactly what they do please e-mail me at FrankTheTank3388@gmail.com Submitted by César Maranhão: Q : How do I save my progress in the middle of a tournament? A : "If you press the triangle button in the middle of a championship you will abandon that championship but in the area where you have your home and all the other icons, it will appear a message that says that you are on a championship. Then you cab save your progress." ,;X2aBM .ZXXSSBr iMMMMMM@WWMi MBZZZ0M SMMMWMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMS MMMMMMMB7:. @MMMMaSXXX7Z MMMM@ :M0BM----------------\ ,MMM .rra2 M0aWM [GT4.11] \ ZMM MMMMM iMaZM-------------------\---------------------------------------- SM0 MW0MM M8a@8 11. - Version History MM MMMMM MMMMM------------------------------------------------------------- MM MM [09/08/05] v. 1.21 -Added a few corrections.
