S-2: Applied Overtaking - Trial Mountain Circuit
This is an example of how to achieve gold on this license test - recorded live. Played with a regular sixaxis controller and recorded with an HDPVR. Default driving options were used (unless stated otherwise below) other than manual transmission.
Tips:
General special license tip: The key to all of these licenses is learning the track. Give yourself a few laps in order to learn the basics of each track. Even if you're lagging behind the other cars keep going and finish the lap. This way you don't have to worry about having a good run going and blowing it in the last few corners because you weren't familiar with them.
This car feels kind of heavy so be careful in the corners. You should be up to 6th by the time you get to the high speed secion of the track with the tunnel. Be sure to brake late into the next left hander to gain some time.
You'll want to pass the Corvette in the second-last right-hander to give you enough time to catch and pass the leader.
You should be able to out-brake the leader into the last left-hander and get beside him. If needed, pinch him to the right of the track to get him to lift. Don't pinch him too far or you'll send him over the dirt mound and wreck the both of you.
