Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A License Test 1: Complex Corners: Beginner 1

    Test Car: Mitsubishi FTO GPX '94

    Target Times: Gold: 0'30.750, Silver: 0'31.100, Bronze: 0'33.080

    Information: This test focuses on navigating S-curves on a high-speed track. Use the curbing to identify apexes and maintain speed. Be patient with throttle application, especially after the second corner, to avoid understeer.

    Strategy: Start on the left side of the track. Brake around 65 MPH at the end of the curbing for the first left-hander. Exit the first turn and immediately begin turning for the second. Take the second turn around 60 MPH and accelerate towards the finish line.

  2. 2
    A License Test 2: Complex Corners: Beginner 2

    Test Car: Lotus Elise 111R '04

    Target Times: Gold: 0'28.000, Silver: 0'28.400, Bronze: 0'30.290

    Information: This test uses the same section as Test 1 but with the Lotus Elise 111R. Its mid-engine layout affects handling. Brake before the right-hander after the bridge to shift weight forward and prevent understeer. A wide exit will compromise the line for the next left-hander.

    Strategy: Start full throttle on the left side. Brake around 65 MPH at the end of the left-side rumble strip. Exit the first turn full throttle. Tap the brakes to slow to about 70 MPH for the second turn, then exit full throttle to the finish.

  3. 3
    A License Test 3: Tackling High Speed Corners: 1

    Test Car: Mitsubishi ECLIPSE Spyder GTS '03

    Target Times: Gold: 0'12.000, Silver: 0'12.300, Bronze: 0'12.700

    Information: This test involves navigating the high-speed left-hander at the Deep Forest Track. The front-engine, front-drive Eclipse tends to understeer. Tap the brakes to control speed through the corner. Exiting at the optimal speed is crucial to avoid going off track.

    Strategy: Start full throttle and move to the right side of the track. Cut the upcoming corner and run low, exiting high on the right. Brake to 75-80 MPH at the shadow line cast by the banner. Exit the turn full throttle and cross the finish line.

  4. 4
    A License Test 4: Tackling High Speed Corners: 2

    Test Car: Subaru LEGACY B4 3.0 '03

    Target Times: Gold: 0'22.050, Silver: 0'22.500, Bronze: 0'23.700

    Information: This test focuses on the challenging 130R corner at Suzuka Circuit. Start on the back straight around 80 MPH, positioned on the right. Turn in immediately after braking to hit the apex. A late turn-in will cause you to go off track at the exit.

    Strategy: Hold full throttle and move to the right side of the track, close to the wall. Brake to about 90 MPH. Once you exit the turn, go full throttle to the finish line.

  5. 5
    A License Test 5: 1 Lap Guide Run (Grand Valley East)

    Test Car: Audi A3 3.2 Quattro '03

    Target Times: Gold: 1'30.500, Silver: 1'32.000, Bronze: 1'36.800

    Information: You will complete a single lap of Grand Valley East following a pace car. This section of the track features shortcuts and hills. Be cautious approaching the blind corner after the first shortcut, which is hidden behind a hill.
