The following is provided by Greg Strain: Different Types of drivetrains: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 4WD: (Four-wheel drive) These cars usually have the engine mounted in the front, but May also have the engine mounted near the center or rear of the car. The drivetrain moves all four wheels, hence the designation. 4WD cars generally provide great traction and control (most rally cars are 4WD for this reason). The added equipment weight for driving another two wheels, however, makes these cars heavier than most. They are also prone to severe understeer without proper technique. FR: Front engine, rear-wheel drive cars are usually prone to oversteer, and can cause some frustration. These types of cars usually have the fastest acceleration and top speeds out of all the types of cars. Their handling (see above) and wheelspin does offset this in many a technical race course. FF: Front engine, front-wheel drive cars are usually the lightest and slowest of the cars. Having the weight of the engine over the wheels moving the car provides great traction and turning in short, twisty courses. This setup also reduces weight. However, weight transfer in acceleration to the rear of the car negates much of the power of the engine. The FF setup is generally good for rallying (for its stability) or small cars. MR: Mid engine, rear-wheel drive cars encompass most of the pure "race" cars of the game. Situating the engine in front of the rear wheels provides excellent weight distribution. Also, the ability to change the areodynamics of the front of these vehicles also makes them the most streamlined in the game. Like FR cars, they are prone to oversteer, since the front wheels are steering while the rear wheels are pushing the car forward. Due to their skittish nature, MR cars are best suited for more experienced drivers. RR: Although rarely seen in the game, rear engine, rear-wheel cars do exist. They have many of the characteristics of MR cars, but the configuration of the engine directly over the rear wheels decreases wheelspin. Their less-than-stellar weight distribution, though, makes oversteer frequent without extreme care. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- HOW TO TAKE TURNS: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Terminology: ------------ a: Your Car:

Make sure you turn the opposite way when doing the Max Speed test, once around the track won't be long enough for the speed to reach 500+ mph. Have Fun!! --------------------- Or another way: --------------------- 1. Get a car with over 1,000 HP 2. Equip the highest level NA or Turbo. 3. Decrease the spring rate for the front and back to the lowest value. 4. Decrease the ride height for the front and back to the lowest value. 5. Set the gear ratios auto setting to the highest level possible 6. Decrease the front downforce to the lowest value, and increase the rear downforce to the highest value. 7. Put the ASM to 0. 8. put the TCS to 0. Now go to the test course (preferably machine test) and watch what happens when you hit about 230 mph. And someone tell me what they think. It's pretty funny and cool. _________________THE FOLLOWING 3 SETUPS ARE FROM MINTY FRESH___________________ ------------------------------------------------------ (Rally) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR T.M.E.

I bought all the best parts and all parts available for the Supra total cost $285,850 resulting in a highly responsive 10.899 0-400m car. The car is tuned to give a little oversteer when braking, traction is improved considerably, and steering is responsive, just remember this is a torque monster so drive it with class instead of a mad man. Now the limit is reliant on your tires not the setup. The setup is made for all these parts so not having light weight stage 3 or the barake balance controller etc will probably result in different handling. -------------------- Pagan Zonda C12S -------------------- Parts: Fully Customizeable Suspen.

Shorter fifth and a long sixth for those straights only hits 220 but most of the straights stop just before the rev limiter. *Note the Skyline was such a well balanced car to begin with It took me a while to make an imprvement, usually it's an ovbious choice of what to change but this one took some time. I like a dash of oversteer when braking and like to omit any body roll thats apparent. This set up works for me the best, it's based on my driving style, I give up a little top end speed for traction and like to set my cars with a tight turn in. I like to set it up in a way that if you get off the gas your line tightens instead of major oversteer. My point, Minty has his set up for his style, I have mine set up for me, Feak has his set up for himself and so on. We all make them so it's best for our driving style.

Speed Even Further| ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― I've gotten E-mail from people asking me how to increase the max speed even further after getting fully tuning-up their car, and after putting the gear settings to their lowest because some cars seem to only be able to go up to 220 MPH or so. What I'm about to tell you will make the car's max speed exceed the amount you think is the max possible. Well, go to the Machine Test and choose 'Max Speed' to test your car's max speed. Go to the Settings, go to the Gears Settings, and put all of the gears to their lowest and start the test. See your car's max speed and if you want to increase it even further, quit and go back to the Settings. Push [Start] while highlighting one of the gears to return it to its default settings, and change the gears to their lowest settings again. Take the test again and the max speed should have either increased or decreased. Now quit and go back to the Settings once again. You see the option all the way at the bottom of the menu with the gears? Well, select it and move it to the right a few, then push X or O to accept. Then push [Start] and it'll return to its default number. Go to the gears and make them the lowest possible. Take the test again and the max speed should have increased. Note: Don't do this for all cars since the higher your max speed, the less acceleration you have. You can also only do this for the final gear afterwards. _____________________________ - Free Car Upgrades - ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― From IGN.com: Here's a little trick you can do to save money on upgrading your cars. First, you must have 2 memory cards. Save your game onto both MEMORY CARD #1 and MEMORY CARD #2. Buy the car that you want and upgrade it as much as you can (if you have the money, buy every single upgrade you can think of, including every tire type). Now save the game onto only MEMORY CARD #2. After you've finished saving the game, load the saved game data from the other card, MEMORY CARD #1 (this should be the original save before you purchased anything). Go to your Home and then the Trade section to Load Garage Data from MEMORY CARD #2. Now you can buy the car that you spent hundreds of thousands upgrading for its original sticker price. TIP: You can use this at the beginning of the game to get an extra one or two upgrades for your very first car. ________________________ _________________________/ \___________________________ { How to Earn Fast Cash } ―――――――――――――――――――――――――\________________________/――――――――――――――――――――――――――― At the Beginning: ------------------- Just win the Sunday cup to get the Toyota Trueno (sell it if you already have it), then race the first race of the Sunday Cup to earn cash over and over again, then upgrade the Engine with a racing chip and engine modifications, get it over 200 HP, then save up enough cash for a new transmission and a drivetrain stuff (racing flywheel, Clutch/Triple Plate, Driveshaft/Carbon) and a Lightweight/Stage 1 to boost acceleration, then adjust the transmission so that you get slow acceleration but fast top speed (make the right-most bar on the Gear Ratio screen, when you enter "settings" before a race, touch the top-right corner of the box) and select "Level 35" on the Auto Setting in the Gear Ratio screen, then enter the second race in the Turbo Challenge, and come in first place (5,000 credits) or second place (2,500 credits) to win tons of cash. Repeat until necessary. Or early on in the game, try to find a race that is only for your type of car, they usually pay 5,000 for a win, which is a small fortune in the amatuer league, and the other cars are just stock models, so minor tuning upgrades can give you a technical advantage... the Vitz championships earned me the money to buy a Lancer (HUGE huge huge upgrade)... the amatuer championship is a 10 race series that pays 10K each for winning - but you need a pretty good car... Th best thing to do...look for all of the Super Speedway tracks, but it's the first track in arcade mode. Those are the easiest to win, and the last one in the beginner mode, you win $10,000 and in the Amatuer, there is one that is $15,000 each time. Once you can win those, it's easy money :) Even further along the line... --------------------------------- Here's a tip from IGN.com: The quickest way that we've found is to enter the Amateur League German Touring Car Challenge. It's a five race series with only three laps per race, so it can be completed in less than 20 minutes. You need to finish first in the first four races, earning 10,000 credits per race, then save your game. Enter the fifth and final race and simply quit out of it to end the series. If you finished first in the first four races, you'll win the series, more prize money (30,000 Cr.) and one of four random prize cars. If you get the Opel Astra Touring Car, you can sell it for 245,000 credits, thus bringing your 20-minute prize total to 315,000 credits. Doing this, you can net yourself about 900,000 credits per hour. And more.... --------------- Another thing you can do to get quick cash is get a pretty fast car, then enter the GT World Championship, then race on the Super Speedway track, and win it for an easy $10,000 in under 3 minutes. You can make about $150,000 or more in an hour with this strategy. Or get an I-B liscence and run the gran turismo dream car championships on the test track race, it's 25 g's a race. NO JOKE. Get a car that can go 220 or 230 mph and you win that simple. For those with patience... ----------------------------- For those who can handle boredom, and have a fast car, and have an IA license, do the Super Speedway Endurance, it takes an hour to finish, but you get 200,000 for it. Also, you can try another one (SSR11, Japan Endurance one) and get 500,000 for that, I don't know how long it takes though.... If you have the nerve, you could always do an Endurance race. Most of them offer rewards for first place in the range of 150,000 to 500,000 Cr. With a fast car you can win easily (I did the Super Speedway 150 Miles with a Corvette Z06 which I upped to 800 HP, and the Seattle 100 Miles with a Panoz Esperante GTR-1 which I upped to 983 HP). This only works if you are about 10%+ in the game, though. If you are just starting out, give your car some more horses and do the World Cup in the Beginner League, which offer $10,000 Cr. a race. And a super-cheap way to get cash... -------------------------------------- Just go to the Super Speedway 150 in Beginner Mode, and get your fastest car, and enter the race. Put a twisty-tie or a rubber band on both analog sticks so the Left Stick is facing to the right, and the Right Stick is facing to the left, and put a rubber band on the accelerate button (usually "X"), and just let the car drive itself. Your car will ram into the walls and stuff, but if you use a car that's very fast and has good acceleration, it shouldn't matter, and since the other cars will pit in throughout the race and you won't, you should win easily, getting the $200,000 and the sweet new car. =============================================================================== 02. - General Strategies - =============================================================================== • Power slide as much as you can on most turns in the game. To power slide, slow down a bit before the turn or chicane with the footbrake, then as you turn, hit the handbrake to make your car swing around the bend (make your car go into the proper direction first), then hit one of your brakes (handbrake is easier to use) while you are facing the direction you wish to be in (straight), and continue driving as normal. • Whenever you are steering into a turn, and smoke begins to come from your tires, this is a sure-sign that your car is about to spin-out if a counter-steer isn't used soon. To counter this eventual spin-out, simply lay off the gas a bit, and counter-steer (steer into the opposite direction) to regain your grip on the road, and to avoid the spin-out easily. • Sometimes (or a lot of the time), you can power-slide in Gran Turismo 3, the racing engine is designed for it like in Gran Turismo 1 & 2. The cars in Gran Turismo 3 can stick to the road sometimes, so power-sliding isn't necessary some of the time. • You don't have to power slide around each turn. Some turns are too tight to try to manuever around, so just brake very hard with the footbrake to come to an almost complete stop, then turn your car into the desired direction, and hit the gas to get moving again. • Don't be too hard on the controls, since they are sort of touchy. The cars handle realisticly, so you will be spinning out after each turn if you really turn sharply or hit a wall at great speeds. • Try not to hit the other car in a race, since you will bounce off of him/her, and slow yourself down, and possibly spin-out. • Try to avoid all walls and barriers. Walls and barriers can slow your car down drastically, and they can also cause your car to have an un- necessary spin-out, which you don't want. • To recover from a spin-out quickly, simply let off the gas while you are spinning or moving, then steer with the spin until you slow down. Once you have done this, simply countersteer (steer into the direction you are spinning), then you will have regained control of your vehicle. • Try not to power-slide TOO much in the game. Why? Because the physics engine of Gran Turismo 3 is very realistic, and if you try to power- slide around a sharp turn at high speeds, your car will skid or spin-out. • Don't take sharp turns at very high speeds (this is especially bad with very, VERY fast cars). Doing this may cause your car to stop or slide, and will slow you down big-time. Draft. Drafting is when you pull up behind another car and stay behind them for awhile. Doing this reduces the air resistance on your car, therefore making it go faster. After awhile, simply pull out from behind the car, and you'll get a significant boost in speed from the lack of air resistance and pass the driver in front of you by a large margin. =============================================================================== 03. Simulation Mode =============================================================================== __________________ ___________________________/ \____________________________ { Getting Started } ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――\__________________/―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Start off by purchasing a Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex or a Mazda Miata. Use this car to enter the Sunday Cup, and race the first race a few times to round up some cash (use the extra cash you have if you buy a Trueno to upgrade the Engine), and use the cash to upgrade the engine and drivetrain. Be sure to purchase some Sports Brakes and a new Suspension, to make the Sunday and Clubman Cups easier. Go and get your B-class and A-Class Licenses. This doesn't take long, unless you want to have all golds. Once you have your A and B Licenses, move onto the next paragraph. Now just win the Sunday cup to get the Toyota Trueno (sell it if you already have it), then race the first race of the Sunday Cup to earn cash over and over again, then upgrade the Engine with a racing chip and engine modifications, get it over 200 HP, then save up enough cash for a new transmission and a drivetrain stuff (racing flywheel, Clutch/Triple Plate, Driveshaft/Carbon) and a Lightweight/Stage 1 to boost acceleration, then adjust the transmission so that you get slow acceleration but fast top speed (make the right-most bar on the Gear Ratio screen, when you enter "settings" before a race, touch the top-right corner of the box) and select "Level 35" on the Auto Setting in the Gear Ratio screen, then enter the second race in the Turbo Challenge, and come in first place (5,000 credits) or second place (2,500 credits) to win tons of cash. Repeat until necessary. Keep doing this until you get enough money to buy a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (any type will do), a Nissan Skyline, or a Mitsubishi 3000GT, then enter some more advanced races, win 'em, and use that cash to upgrade your new car to the max. Also, win the Clubman Cup and get the Mazda Miata, then sell it for a quick $4,500. Be sure to sell all of the crappy cars you win in the future. __________________ ___________________________/ \____________________________ { License Test Guide } ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――\__________________/―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― What you get for All Golds in each License (from Frozen Flame): B License - Mazda MX-5 Miata LS A License - Mazda RX-8 IB License - Nissan Z Concept IA License - Aston Martin Vanquish Rally License - Subaru Impreza Rally Car Prototype Super License - Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept Car ================== B LICENSE ================== There are 8 parts to this license test. Most tests are done twice with a different car each time. Please note that going into the grass for over 2 seconds or hitting a wall will result in immediate failure in any test. Getting at least a bronze on each test will allow you to receive the license. --------- B-1 Start, Acceleration and Braking I Accelerate from a standing start and stop as quickly as possible in the goal area beyond the finish line at 1000 meters. It is best to switch from full acceleration to full braking. HINT: Use the distance markers every 100 meters to judge when to start braking. Car used: Volkswagon New Beetle 2.0 Times to beat: Gold : 35.1s Silver : 35.4s Bronze : 35.8s A simple test. As soon as the Go is given, step on the accelerator and don't let up. You'll see signs as you pass every 100 meters. Once past the 900 meter mark, you'll see a small white line to the right of you marking 950 meters. Slam on the brakes at this point or right before to clear the test. --------- B-2 Start, Acceleration and Braking II This test is similar to B-1, but with a higher powered test car that accelerates quicker but is heavier, so you need to start breaking sooner. HINT: Use the distance markers every 100 meters to judge when to start braking. Car used: Viper GTS Times to beat: Gold : 25.6s Silver : 25.8s Bronze : 26.3s Again, another simple test. Again, accelerate as soon as GO is displayed, but this time, full brake at or before the 900 meter mark to stop safely in the goal area. --------- B-3 Basics of Cornering: Front-wheel Drive Negotiate a left turn after a long straightaway. Brake early and slow down before turning. Come in too fast and the car will not turn, but will fly off the outside of the corner. Take it easy going into the corner but hit the gas early coming out. Out of the corner, take full advantage of the track outside edge. Car used: Coupe Turbo Plus Gold : 31.1s Silver : 31.4s Bronze : 32.5s This test is fairly easy to complete, as the game puts a blue dashed line on the track to help you locate the best path to take through the turn. Follow the line and use the brake when you hit the red dash part of the line, then let off both gas and brake in the gray area. Once past that hit the gas to power through and head for the finish line. --------- B-4 Basics of Cornering: Rear-wheel Drive This test is the same as B-3, but this time you are driving a high-powered rear-wheel drive car, so hitting the gas to early in the corner risks the rear wheels losing their grip for a spin. In a corner, adjust the accelerator a little at a time and feel for when to go full out. HINT: Check out the Demo. Car used: S2000 Gold : 29.1s Silver : 29.4s Bronze : 31.0s Again, follow the blue line and brake when the red area is reached. Turn and give the car a little gas. When you find that the car will not go off course, accelerate to full speed and head for the finish. --------- B-5 Applied Cornering: Front-wheel Drive From a standing start, take three consecutive corners: left, right and left. Rather than going full-out on the first two corners, figure how to get out of the third corner smoothly by hitting the gas for a fast time. Take the line that puts you in the best shape for getting out of the last corner. Gaining speed on the following long straightaway is more important than anything else. Car used: Civic Type R(EK,J) Gold : 34.0s Silver : 34.8s Bronze : 36.2s Follow the blue line and in the first turn don't bother braking. In the second turn, let off the gas to turn easier, then accelerate to the third turn. Here you wil brake for a sec, let off both gas and brake, and turn as close as you can to the inside of the corner. As soon as you start past the corner, full-out accelerate to the finish. --------- B-6 Applied Cornering: Rear-wheel Drive This course is the same as in B-5, but with a rear-wheel drive, hitting and releasing the gas cuases even larger changes in attitude. Be careful not to disturb the car's behavior. This car demands more delicate accelerator control and more careful steering than a front-wheel drive. Car used: Mazda MX-5 Miata LS Gold : 33.0s Silver : 33.3s Bronze : 34.7s You will basically follow the same as the last test, except in the second corner, tap the gas pedal through the turn. You'll also need to brake a little sooner to clear the third corner in the same way as before. --------- B-7 Basics of Complex Corners Here you run through a blind high-speed winding section. The left-to-right corner just before the tunnel is a very difficult corner. First get experience in a somewhat underpowered car with less risk. The key is to hit the brakes with the car going as straight as possible. Car used: MR-S S Edition(J) Gold : 33.3s Silver : 33.8s Bronze : 35.4s On each turn, start to the outside, and turn so that you cut as close to the corner as possible. There are two tight corners in the test. Let off the gas, start the turn, and accelerate through to continue on. Make sure not to contact the walls in the tunnel. --------- B License Final Exam This course has many blind corners. The rocky stretch in the first part requires bold driving with no fear of the rocky cliffs Use the technique of releasing the gas to turn the car. The speed out of the last left turn has a big effect on the time. The fastest line barely grazes the cliff when coming into the corner and lets out in the depths of the tunnel. Car used: Skyline GT-R Vspec II(R32,J) Gold : 43.0s Silver : 43.4s Bronze : 46.0s Start by going through the turn to the left full on the accelerator. Once you reach the second turn, brake and let off the gas to make the turn. On each of the following turns, try to cut as close to the walls as possible while tapping the accelerator. In the final turn to the left, make sure to floor the gas as soon as you are through the turn. Doing so ensures you will complete the test in time. Once you have completed that test, you will receive your B License. Congratulations! ===================== A License Exams ===================== A-1 Practical Cornering I Climb a hill with a gentle left and then negotiate a sharp right turn. Trying to approach the right corner from too far to the outside will cause instability under braking, so there is no need to come from excessively far outside. Try to brake in a straight line aiming for the inside curb. Then you just need to find the point to go to full throttle. Car used: NSX Type S Zero(J) Times to beat: Gold : 32.9s Silver: 33.4s Bronze: 34.7s Accelerate from the starting point through the left turn. When you reach the sharp right, you'll want to let off the gas and brake WHILE STILL GOING STRAIGHT. If you brake while turning, you will go flying out into the grass. Once you have gone past the turn, floor the gas and head for the finish line. --------- A-2 Practical Cornering II The secret to a fast time is getting to the inside curb quickly after the end of braking, and using fine accelerator control to trace a long line right next to the curb. Once you see where to come out of the corner and go on the throttle, try to control the tail slide (when the rear tires succumb to too much power and slide to the outside) while riding up just barely on the outside curb. Car used: Skyline GT-R V-spec II(R34,J) Times to beat: Gold : 26.0s Silver: 26.3s Bronze: 27.6s The only difference between this test and the last is in this one, you will brake while starting the turn, the let off the gas to cut as close to the curb, then full throttle out of the turn and try to maintain control of the car when coming out of the turn. --------- A-3 Practical Cornering III Here you negotiate the fasters number 1 corner on the Mid-Field Raceway. In contrast to the corners so far that required heavy braking, try downshifting to 3rd gear with light braking and just grazing the inside. Stay in 3rd and keep your speed upwhile aiming at the curb on the outside to draw a large circular path with a constant radius. There is no need to trace the inside curb all the time. Car used: S2000 Times to beat: Gold : 29.9s Silver: 30.2s Bronze: 31.6s As you enter the turn, lightly use the brake and then accelerate through the rest of the turn. This is a fairly easy test which should give no real problems. --------- A-4 Circle Track: 60R, Dry Road Three laps around a circular track with a 60-m radius. Try using fine steering and accelerator control to keep to a line right next to the inside curb from start to finish. Just before the finish line, gain time by using the full width of the track so that you cross the finsih line all the way to the outside. Watch for tail slides from hitting the gas too hard. Car used: Mazda RX-7 Type RZ(J) Times to beat: Gold : 43.9s Silver: 44.3s Bronze: 46.2s You'll want to keep the car's speed between 60-65mph on this test. Tap the brakes every once in a while to allow yourself to stay as close to the inside curb as possible. On the last lap, head for the outside once you see the finish line. --------- A-5 Circle Track: 100R, Dry Road Three laps around a circular track with a 100-m radius. Try using fine steering and accelerator control to keep to a line right next to the inside curb from start to finish. Just before the finish line, gain time by using the full width of the track so that you cross the finsih line all the way to the outside. Watch for oversteer from hitting the gas too hard. Car used: Mazda RX-7 Type RZ(J) Times to beat: Gold : 55.8s Silver: 56.3s Bronze: 59.0s Same as the last test. You'll want to keep the car's speed between 75-85 mph on this test. Tap the brakes every once in a while to allow yourself to stay as close to the inside curb as possible. On the last lap, head for the outside once you see the finish line. --------- A-6 Long Corners This is a left/right complex corner. Avoid getting close to the inside too early on the first right corner and aim for the inside curb at the tunnel entrance. The next corner is a left, so avoid going all the way to the outside but rather point the car to the right side of the track anf get ready for the next left corner. In the long left corner, avoid goosing the accelerator and keep to the inside without haste. Car used: XKR Coupe Times to beat: Gold : 27.0s Silver: 27.5s Bronze: 29.5s This test gives you a rolling start, so be ready to take command when Start is displayed. In the right turn, brake and left off the gas to cut into the corner as deeply as possible. Make sure to get near the right side of the track once through the turn as you will then need to do the same, except on a left turn. Floor the gas as you come out and speed to the finish. --------- A-7 Blind Corner You must negotiate a right turn at the top of a hill in Seattle. The corner is completely blind, so getting ready to brake in advance is necessary. After landing the last jump, brake immediately and turn to the right, aiming for the inside curb. Hit the gas once you are cleanly on the curb and use the outside wall as far as possible. Car used: Camaro Z28 Times to beat: Gold : 14.2s Silver: 14.7s Bronze: 15.4s Again, you are given a rolling start. Accelerate, but after the third jump, be ready and brake a little to make the right turn, then accelerate to the finish line. --------- A License Final Exam This is the most difficult stretch of Mid-Field. In the small S-corner, ignore the first left and focus on the next right. Make a deep cut into the right curb and come out as close as possible to the next hairpin. Brake while disturbing the car's attitude to turn toward the inside. The key lies in turning the car sharply in the first half of the corner so that you can hit the gas when coming out. Car used: Lancer Evolution IV GSR(J) Times to beat: Gold : 15.53s Silver: 16.0s Bronze: 17.8s On the first left, go to the outside and then be prepared for the right. Cut as close to the inside of the turn as possible, then get ready for the last turn, a left. Brake while turning to the inside, and then accelerate through the turn and head for the finish. Congratulations! You now have your A license! ================================== International B License Exams ================================== With the exception of IB-1 and IB-2, all tests give you a rolling start. ----------------------------- IB-1 Circle Track: 60R, Wet Road Three laps around a circular track with a 60-m radius. This is basically the same test as A-4, but this time the road is wet as if after a rain. The test car has the traction control and other driver assist features turned off, so even more delicate accelerator control is required. See how the car reacts depending on how you step on the gas. Car used: Corvette Z06 Times to beat: Gold : 49.6s Silver: 50.2s Bronze: 52.8s To pass this test, you want to stay as close to the inside curb as close as possible. Keep your speed between 50-60mph and don't brake, just let off the accelerator. Continue to tap the accelerator to keep the speed in that range. You will need to make sure you don't accelerate too fast, else you will begin to spin out. --------- IB-2 Circle Track: 100R, Wet Road Three laps around a circular track with a 100-m radius. This is basically the same test as A-5, but this time the road is wet as if after a rain. The test car has the traction control and other driver assist features turned off, so even more delicate accelerator control is required. See how the car reacts depending on how you step on the gas. Car used: Corvette Z06 Times to beat: Gold : 1m 1.6s Silver: 1m 2.4s Bronze: 1m 5.5s To pass this test, you want to stay as close to the inside curb as close as possible. Keep your speed between 70-75mph and don't brake, just let off the accelerator. Continue to tap the accelerator to keep the speed in that range. You will need to make sure you don't accelerate too fast, else you will begin to spin out. --------- IB-3 Braking and Cornering I Here you negotiate a 90-degree right turn at the end of the Seattle back straightaway, and crank two consecutive sharp turns. Without a solid feel for the point to start braking, not only will you overshoot the first right corner but the car's attitude will be bad for entering the subsequent turns, resulting in a big time loss. Car used: S2000 Type V(J) Gold : 22.45s Silver: 23.0s Bronze: 24.5s Accelerate until the first right turn. Slow down to between 60-70mph or whatever feel comfortable to you, and as you come out of the turn, speed up and you should be able to pass right by the inside corner of the left turn. Once past this, let off the gas to right yourself coming out of the turn, then accelerate and for the following S curve, go right through the middle passing the rails first on the left, then the right side to the goal line. --------- IB-4 Braking and Cornering II This est has you negotiate Seattle's number 1 corner. This is a squared off U shaped corner combining two 90-degree turns. After braking fully to the right speed, try to run a smooth circular line that clips the corners of both turns. Even if oyu are not right at the inside of the first turn, be sure to clip the second corner, taking a line that emphasizes the corner exit. Car used: Corvette Z06 Gold : 19.7s Silver: 20.0s Bronze: 21.2s Accelerate and head to the outside of the first turn. Nearing it, brake down to 40mph and cut as close to the turn as possible. Once past the turn, accelerate and turn right for the second turn and when you come out of it, you should miss hitting the left wall. Head to the finish. --------- IB-5 Turning Accelerating and Weight Shift This is the final stretch of Grand Valley. After accelerating while turning through the tunnel, negotiate two consecutive hairpin turns. While accelerating through the tunnel, avoid swinging too far out. In the double hairpin, change the orientation of the car with rythmical accelerator on/off action. Trying too hard in the first right will make you suffer in the second, more important corner. Car used: RUF 3400S Gold : 28.8s Silver: 29.3s Bronze: 30.5s Accelerate into the tunnel, staying between 75 and 80mph. Once to the first turn, slow down to 40mph and then after the turn, give a bit of acceleration, but take the next turn at 40mph as well. After that, give it the gas to the finish. --------- IB-6 Fast Slalom I: Assist On Cars are susceptible to spin on this slalom track. The test car has the driver assist features turned on. Here you can safely learn how to turn with the accelerator off and stabilize the car with the accelerator on- an important lesson in accelerator control for driving a car. The rhythm is something like "turn the car and then hit the gas while passing the cones". Try to take actions far, far in advance. Car used: RUF RGT Gold : 23.9s Silver: 24.2s Bronze: 26.2s Accelerate through the first two turns, without braking. Use the red and white curbs to your advantage. Release the gas for the third turn to make the turn and the accelerate again for the next turn. Follow this pattern to make it to the end. Your speed should stay between 90- 105mph. --------- IB-7 Fast Slalom II: Assist Off Now the test car's stability control system (which surpresses car spin) is turned off. It is now necessary to turn with the accelerator off and stabilize the car with the accelerator on much more carefully. By comparing against the previous test, you should see just how much cars now depend on technology. The key is to take actions far, far in advance to prevent car movements from becoming too large. Car used: RUF RGT Gold : 24.0s Silver: 24.3s Bronze: 26.3s Accelerate through the first two turns, without braking. Use the red and white curbs to your advantage. Release the gas for the third turn to make the turn and the accelerate again for the next turn. Follow this pattern to make it to the end. Your speed should stay between 85- 95mph. --------- International B License Final Exam This is the most difficult stretch of Apricot Hill. You just graze the inside of the first high-speed left and control the car from its unstable attitude while intermittently applying brakes to enter the second left. Make sure you are able to keep solidly to the inside of the left corner. In the subsequent S turn section, watch for excess speed while rhythmically tracing the curbs. Car used: NSX Type S Zero(J) Gold : 31.7s Silver: 32.0s Bronze: 33.7s Accelerate untilt he first turn, where you'll want to brake to 90- 100mph which should allow you to slide around the corner. Tap the brake for the following turn, and then accelerate, only using the brake when necessary. Stay as close to the curbs on eash turn as possible, and there should be no real trouble. --------- Congrats on making it this far! You now have your I-B License! ============================= International A License Exams ============================= All tests give you a rolling start. ----------------------------- IA-1 Fast Complex Corners I This is a technical section in the middle of Tokyo Route 246. Take the first left by lightly letting up on the gas. Take the right corner at the top of the hill by braking just before starting to climb the hill. It is a blind corner, so be sure to remember the point when to start turning. If you think of this as one large corner, you will be able to drive through it quickly. Car used: LANCER Evolution VI Rally Car Times to beat: Gold : 40.0s Silver: 40.7s Bronze: 42.5s After the first left (which you can slide through easily by letting off the gas and turning) will be a small S curve. You can get through this without even slowing down. Prepare after that to brake and turn right, then accelerate and take the next right. From here, it's a small curve to the finish. --------- IA-2 Fast Complex Corners II This is the last fast chicane on Trial Mountain. Basically you should be able to take it at full throttle. The rhythm going from the first left to cutting right is important. After riding up onto the left curb, you must turn right immediately or risk crashing into the wall on exit. Riding up too far on the high curb on the right side will make the car jump, so try to graze it just barely. Car used: Spoon S2000(J) Times to beat: Gold : 15.7s Silver: 15.9s Bronze: 16.4s This is an easy test. The only thing is that when you get to the left turn before the straightaway, you cannot go too high up onto the right side else the car will jump. The game will fail you if you make the car jump. --------- IA-3 Fast COmplex Corners III This is the same track as in B-7. YOur car has more power this time, requiring more accurate steering and rhythmical accelerator control. In the corner that turns broadly to the right after leaving the first tunnel, inadvertantly hitting the gas too early will cause the car to fly off to the outside, so you must wait patiently for the point to go to full throttle. Car used: IMPREZA Rally Car Prototype Gold : 23.4s Silver: 23.8s Bronze: 25.0s Take the first right without even slowing down. Enter the next leftby letting off the gas and positioning yourself for the following right. This is the most important turn, as you'll need to accelerate when you come out of the turn without going right into the tunnel wall and failing. --------- IA-4 Braking and Cornering III This section is from the latter half of Tokyo Route 246. In the braking into corner number 1, it is important to find the optimal braking start point that lets you turn into the corner the instant that braking ends. Excessive speed must be avoided at all costs. The S-curve surrounded by fences after the tree lined boulevard also require care in braking solidly before entering and accelerating while leaving. Car used: Castrol MUGEN NSX JGTC(J) Gold : 32.2s Silver: 32.4s Bronze: 34.4s Accelerate and head for the first turn. Before the tunr, there is a yellow sign on the right side of you. Use that to gauge when to start braking. Take the turn at the speed you feel you can still control the car (40-50mph is recommended) and then power slide through the coming S curve. --------- IA-5 Corkscrew This is the famous corkscrew curve at Laguna Seca. The downhill stretch before the corner makes the brakes less effective, so early braking is required. Finding the best line is difficult, so check out the demo. The left corner after the corkscrew lies after a steep downhill and has a shallow bank, so watch for unusual car movement. Car used: Viper GTS Gold : 23.0s Silver: 23.3s Bronze: 25.0s Accelerate up the hill but be ready to brake BEFORE the downhill. Once into the turn, be careful as there is a high chance of spinning out if you're going too fast. Ue the curbs to your advantage, but don't go out into the grass. For the last turn, you should be able to take it by letting off the gas or just sliding through the turn. --------- IA-6 Fast COmplex Corners IV This section is in the latte half of the Rome Circuit. These blind S- curves go left-right-left. The back straightaway awaiting afterward is quite long, so think about a line that gives the highest priority to exit speed. The last right corner can definantly be taken at full throttle. It is very important to avoid trying too hard at the exit of the first left corner. Car used: Zonda C12 Gold : 20.1s Silver: 20.4s Bronze: 21.3s Acclerate to the first left turn, and depending on your speed, tap the brakes or let off the gas. For the right turn, stay as close to the right rail as possible and you can go through the turn without using brakes. The last turn is gentle so floor it to the finish. --------- IA-7 Undalating Corners Negotiate the consecutive high-sped S curves while going over hills in the final section of the Complex String track. The track is designed so that turning alternates between the hilltops and valleys, so look out for major changes in steering response depending on weight shifts. Coming out well from the last hairpin turn is most important for shortening your time. Car used: SKYLINE GT-R V-Spec II(R34,J) Gold : 46.0s Silver: 46.6s Bronze: 49.5s Accelerate through the gentle right, then when you reach the first hill, let off the gas. Not doing this will probably cause the car to go straight into the grass on the other side. Once through, just keep a constant speed (105-110) and amke sure you have complete control over the car. For the hairpin, brake early, and watch out for hitting the gas too early as the car may spin out. --------- International A license Final Exam This is a reverse direction run over the constant-radius circular slalom track at COmplex String. The radii of the circles get progressively smaller, so focus on controlling your speed to match the turn radius while avoiding understeer. If you lose your rhythm and swing too far outside, this results in a big time loss. This test is very difficult. Car used: Mine's Skyline GT-R - N1 V-Spec(R34,J) Gold : 1m 8.85s Silver: 1m 10s Bronze: 1m 12.5s This really is a tough challenge. The best advice is accelerate and keep yourself close to the inside of the turns, but don't be afraid to tap the brakes. Watch for spinouts too. The last two turns are really ugly because if you enter too fast, you have no chance and will fail the test. This one took me(OroJin) about 20 tries, most of which I lost in the last turns or took too long. --------- Alright! Two more licenses to go! ============================= Rally License Exams ============================= All tests give a rolling start. ----------------------------- R-1 Rally Driving Basics I This test uses corner number 1 of the Tahiti Circuit. The main straightaway is paved but watch out as it changes to dirt in corner number 1. After going into the dirt while braking, you will find much more sliding but stay calm and get used to the motion of the car. The steering reaction times become slower so be sure to turn the wheel earlier. Car used: 206 Rally Car Times to beat: Gold : 15.6s Silver: 16.0s Bronze: 17.3s Pretty easy test here. Just brake slightly before the turn, and make sure to control your steering. YOu'll need to get used to how the rally cars go. --------- R-2 Rally Driving Basics II This test uses the last section of Smokey Mountain. After the gradual uphill left corner, the section with the right-left-right turns one after another can be driven with steering turns made far, far in advance an exited in a straight line. If it goes well, they can be negotiated without ever letting up on the accelerator. Car used: CAROLLA Rally Car Times to beat: Gold : 29.2s Silver: 29.6s Bronze: 31.8s This test is a good one to learn how to steer the rally cars. Before each turn, start turning so that you'll be ready to go straight in each turn. On the final left turn, you should be able to slide through it without hitting the far wall if you start to turn early enough. --------- R-3 Rally Driving Basics III This is a S-Curve in the middle section of the Swiss Alps track. Try steering to the left while braking and once you graze the fence on the inside of the grassy area, turn to the right at full throttle. Take the gradual right corner just before reaching the back straightaway in "out-in-out" style by turning the wheel as little as possible. The key to driving here is to cut boldly across the grass areas. Car used: Escort Rally Car Gold : 22.3s Silver: 22.7s Bronze: 24.0s The only thing that you really have to do on this test is brake and cut as close to the left fence as possible on the first left turn. Once past this, you should have no real trouble. --------- R-4 Practical Rally Driving I Here are three connected corners in the last stretch of the Tahiti Circuit. Always brake and steer well in advance to turn the car and trace the shortest path while drifting. The key lies in grasping the relationship between speed and sliding. Excess speed that pushes you too far on the outside will make entering the next corner difficult and lead to time losses. Car used: CELICA Rally Car Gold : 22.4s Silver: 22.8s Bronze: 24.3s Take the first turn going full speed, then prepare to brake and steer for each turn after this. Try to stay as close to the inside corner and make sure not to slide too far out. --------- R-5 Practical Rally Driving II This is a difficult section in the final stretch of the Swiss Alps, requiring turn braking in hairpin turns. With full brakes on, just barely graze the fence on the right and when your speed drops low enough, cut back to the left. Taking this corner with a small, compact turn is most important. Drifting too broadly in the final corner will not let you build up speed so try to come out straight. Car used: LANCER Evolution VI Rally Car Gold : 26.85s Silver: 27.3s Bronze: 29.6s Start off on full accleration. Start to turn before the right turn while braking. Once you speed hits 40-50mph, you should have good control over the car. Cut back to the left and don't slide too far to the outside. The following right is the same, again make sure to not slide out. --------- R-6 Drifting Techniques I These are four consecutive hairpin turns in the last stretch of the Tahiti Maze. The key to drifting in a tight turn is to use braking and steering to create an opportunity and instantly cause a tail slide by hitting the gas. Thereafter, maintain the car's attitude with steering and accelerator control. If you keep on the countersteer even further, you will get dumped to the outside when exiting. Car used: Delta HF Integrale Rall Car Gold : 29.4s Silver: 30.0s Bronze: 31.8s On each turn brake while turning to throw yourself into a slide, and then just steer yourself straight while accelerating. This test may take a few tries, but once you get that basic action listed above down, you'll find this test quite easy. --------- R-7 Drifting Techniques II These are three consecutive downhill hairpin turns on the last half of Tahiti Maze II. The basics are the same as in Test R-6, but the downhill makes the car more susceptible to sliding, so try to avoid excessive drift angles. Try to find the point where to hit the brakes so that you just barely graze the inside. Car used: IMPREZA Rally Car prototype Gold : 22.4s Silver: 22.8s Bronze: 24.6s On each turn brake while turning to throw yourself into a slide, and then just steer yourself straight while accelerating. This test is about the same as the previous test, but you have to handle the braking and steering with a tighter grip. --------- Rally License Final Exam One lap around the Tahiti Maze in the latest rally car prototype version of the Lancer Evolution. In the section with consecutive hairpin turns, try tracing the shortest line with a drifting technique that clips corners right in front of your nose. In the section with consecutive small corners in the middle stretch, it is easy to spin out, so avoid drifting too daringly. Drive the paved road at the end as carefully as the circuit. Car used: LANCER Evolution VII Rally Car Prototype Gold : 1m 58.7s Silver: 2m 0s Bronze: 2m 8s This test requires you to put together everything you just learned. The past two tests are in this course, and this is where you'll lose a majority of your time if you aren't careful. This test may take a few tries, but just concentrate on not spinning out. __________________ ___________________________/ \____________________________ { Quick Prize Guide } ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――\__________________/―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― From: "Jeff Evans" -------------------- Beginner League: -------------------- Sunday Cup = Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Clubman Cup = MX-5 Miata FF Challenge = Vitz RS 1.5 FR Challenge = Silvia K's 1800cc MR Challenge = MR-S S Edition 4WD Challenge = Alto Works Lightweight K Cup = Mini Cooper 1.3i Stars and Stripes Grand Championship = Camaro SS Spider/Roadster Cup = MX-5 Miata RS 80's Sports Car Cup = RX7 Infini III Race of NA Sports = CRX Del Sol SiR Race of Turbo Sports = Mira TR XX Avanzato R Tourist Trophy Audi TT Race = TT 1.8T Turbo Legend of Silver Arrow Mercedes Benz = SLK 230 Kompressor Altezza Race = Toyota Celica SS-II (97), Toyota Celica SS-II (99) Vitz Race = Toyota Vitz RS 1.5 Type R Meeting = Civic 3Door Si Evolution Meeting = Lancer Evo.
