Among many quality features in Enthusia, the ability to run Time Trial on certain sectors instead of the full course is especially engaging. I've used this great feature to build my own License test as an alternative to Driving Revolution mode that sometimes can't escape from its limitations. This project was built for people who would like to start playing Enthusia again or polish their driving skills even further.
All you have to do is select "Time Attack" from the main menu and follow instructions of each test described down below. If you need to turn on a driving assist, you can do it by accessing "Options" from the race menu (press Start button). If you need to alter a car, you can do it by accessing "Grid" from the race menu, clicking on your car and selecting "Settings". This is an example of how general format for each test will look:
Course: Tsukuba Circuit (S1)
Car: Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (stock, OFF)
OR
Car: Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (LSD - Full 'lock', ESC & TCS)
The first line says the test will be held on Sector 1 of Tsukuba Circuit, so you should select the track and that particular sector in the Time Attack menu.
The second line says you have to choose the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA from the car menu, leaving car settings as they are (stock) and turn off all the driving aids (OFF).
The third line explains what to do if certain restrictions are dictated. In this case you would have to move the LSD slider to far right (Lock) and turn on both driving aids.
Also, very important, I do not accept Black Flags unless specified. You get those by colliding or going off the course. The run must be clean.
Every other exceptions regarding tracks, conditions, etc. or certain tips are going to be mentioned under the label "Specials".
And that is it! Basically, the concept follows the License system Gran Turismo series pioneered and eventually polished to perfection. If you have enjoyed those, make sure to give the tests below a try. Have fun and post your times if you want, I will add them to Rankings below each test.
B-1: Driving Basics: Starting and Shifting
Course: Ocean Bridge (Full)
Car: Daihatsu Copen (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'34.300, Silver - 0'34.600, Bronze - 0'36.000
Specials: Welcome to your first driving test! You're going to practice accelerating and shifting. You can rely on automatic transmission for the sake of test completion, but to beat the best result, you'll have to switch to manual and pay specific attention to the car's peak power light gauge on the rev limiter. The power output on this engine reduces as you rev past the peak point, so change the gears accordingly.

Course: Pacific Gateway (S1)
Car: Mazda Demio (stock, ESC & TCS)
Goal: Gold - 0'30.000, Silver - 0'30.400, Bronze - 0'32.000
Specials: Although it is possible to clear the first right corner at full speed, by doing so you will risk missing the ideal braking point, which can affect your exit speed on the second corner and consequently - your uphill speed. Make a compromise by reducing your pace on the first right corner so that you can climb up the hill faster.

B-6: Driving Basics: Throttle Modulation
Course: Cosmic Eggway (Full)
Car: Mazda Eunos Roadster S-special (stock, ESC & TCS)
Goal: Gold - 0'38.000, Silver - 0'38.400, Bronze - 0'40.000
Specials: It takes time and practice to master throttle modulation, so the sooner you start, the better. Drive a lap on the track and try to avoid using brakes. The first corner can be tackled from a wider angle than you may think. Use different layout of rumble strips on the second corner as an indicator when to fully step on the throttle. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the test, don't continue with lapping.

Car: Nissan 180SX Type X (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'13.400, Silver - 0'13.800, Bronze - 0'14.700
Specials: You'll be learning to deal with oversteer by driving a moderately powerful rear-wheel drive car. The banked section prior the corner entry will likely reduce grip on the rear axle on your way in, so use that momentum to point the car into right direction. Gently open the throttle as you clear the corner to prevent the car from spinning out of control.

Goal: Gold - 0'24.000, Silver - 0'24.400, Bronze - 0'25.000
Specials: It is hard to predict when to fully open the throttle when you can't see the exit. The car you're going to drive is very stable and can tackle the sections precisely, but downshifting at proper moment can turn it inwards, improving your speed. Use this to your advantage.

Course: Pacific Gateway (S4)
Car: Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'37.000, Silver - 0'37.600, Bronze - 0'39.500
Specials: You are going to drive a powerful FWD car through a set of complex corners. Inner wheel-spin will occur if you apply the throttle too aggressively, affecting your grip. The key is to clear the corners using larger steering radius while delicately modulating the throttle.
Rankings

Car: Ford Mustang 2005 "class B" (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'41.350, Silver - 0'41.600, Bronze - 0'43.000
Specials: Another set of complicated corners this time requires a run by a powerful RWD car. Be careful though, as the surface is completely soaked. On approach to corners learn to control oversteer by counter-steering. Don't floor the acceleration pedal too harshly as the car will spin out instantly.

AI-4: Driving on Undulated Surface 1
Course: Burgenschlucht (S3)
Car: Toyota Supra RZ (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'31.000, Silver - 0'31.500, Bronze - 0'33.000
Specials: Before you reach the final straightway, you will face changes in elevation of the surface on the long left corner. This will effect grip on the rear axle, so use it to shift the weight and turn the car towards the bridge.
Rankings

Course: Löwenseering (S5)
Car: TVR Tamora (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'39.500, Silver - 0'40.000, Bronze - 0'42.000
Specials: This time you shouldn't use loss of grip to trim the car's bearing. Neutralize car's wild tendency to oversteer by gently releasing the throttle when going over the two crests.
Rankings
0'38.988 - Gold - @Wolfe
Coffee Break: Precision Driving
Course: Tsukuba Circuit Night (S3)
Car: Chevrolet Astro (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'19.250, Silver - 0'19.500, Bronze - 0'21.000
Specials: You are now going to prove that you can drive while relying on your inner senses. Your task is to enter the pit zone and clear the section without touching the grass on the left or the wall on the right side. Likewise, once you enter the enclosed part of the pit, you must not touch the wall or the two poles that appear on the left nor the white, rectangle-shaped concrete surface on the right. The car is extremely wide so your steering inputs must be perfect!
Rankings

AI-6: Special Techniques: Drifting
Course: Route De La Seine (S4)
Car: Nismo Silvia S15 R-Tune (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'37.000, Silver - 0'37.500, Bronze - 0'39.000
Specials: Initiate the slide by flooring the throttle as soon as you run over the crest on the long, circular right corner. Control the drift with steering and make sure to approach the exit of the "coil" from wider angle, otherwise you won't be able to step on the throttle pedal. The last S-turn prioritizes gentle weight transfer, so don't overdo it. Although it is possible to clear the entire test with pure grip style, drifting will allow you to learn one of many benefits of rear axle skidding.
Rankings
0'36.589 - Gold - @Wolfe
AI-7: Special Techniques: Downhill Driving
Course: Dragon Range Downhill (S2)
Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'44.650, Silver - 0'45.000, Bronze - 0'47.000
Specials: On previous few tests you learned how the grip can be affected when going uphill, now it is time to do the same when going downhill. Brake before each corner sufficiently, apply the handbrake and floor the throttle. The car is built to produce competitive and safe oversteer right from the start, so use it to clear the corners swiftly. Handbrake timing is crucial. If you do everything as we've advised you, you will clear corners much faster than you would do it with usual grip style driving. You're welcome.

Car: Fiat 131 Abarth Rally (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'28.600, Silver - 0'29.000, Bronze - 0'31.500
Specials: This is a difficult test on which you have to use momentum of the car to run through the entire section as fast as possible. Needles to say, delicate throttle modulation is ultra-required, but the general speed will also play the important role. The faster you drive, the easier it becomes to climb the uphill section after the bridge and control behaviour of the rear axle. It sounds unusual, but you will see why in reality it isn't.

Car: Honda NSX Type-R "facelifted model" (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 2'05.400, Silver - 2'07.500, Bronze - 2'11.000
Specials: Welcome to Nordschleife - again. This time you don't have any electronics devices to pamper your driving skills, so be careful. Tackle complex corners with changes in elevation. On some corners you'll have to rely on understeer, while on others on oversteer. The last, notorious part of the course coming after Pflanzgarten can be completed with full speed if proper line is used. Good luck!

Course: Rev City (Full)
Car: Ford GT (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'12.500, Silver - 1'13.500, Bronze - 1'15.000
Specials: This is a high-speed city run. With very little downforce pushing you down, cornering line is going to play important role on this test. Power-steer may be used to your advantage on some corners, but don't overdo it. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

Car: Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA (set rear LSD to first 'R' of Rear, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'33.500, Silver - 1'35.000, Bronze - 1'38.000
Specials: Run through autumn scenario using the vintage RWD car. Oversteer on corner entries is going to appear frequently, try to use it to eliminate understeer. Medium-speed section surrounding the tunnel can be tackled with drifting. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

S-4: Hot Lap: Route de la Seine
Course: Route de la Seine (Full)
Car: Peugeot 406 Coupe (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'54.000, Silver - 1'56.000, Bronze - 1'58.000
Specials: The test car is a heavy FWD coupe. Combat understeer and inner wheelspin while going around complex blind corners. Try to keep the car's weight as still as possible. Proper steering inputs will be required on sharp corners. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.
Rankings
Coffee Break: Speed and Consistency
Course: Victoria Garden (Full)
Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car 'class R model' (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 98.00 %, Silver - 97.70 %, Bronze - 97.00 %
Specials: This is our last cup of coffee for you, try not to spill it. Clear the 6-lap race within the time limit of 5'40.000. If the overall race time is higher than 5'40.000, you automatically fail the test. This tests your speed.
We're also going to test your consistency. Write down your total time and fastest lap (both appear on the ranking screen after you cross the finish line). Convert both to seconds for easier calculation. Divide total time by 6 (lap count) to get average lap time. Now divide your fastest lap by the average time and multiply the result with 100. That gives you consistency rating.
As an advice, try not to push too hard, because if you make a mistake on one corner you won't be able to recover lost time by pushing harder on next one. The goal is not to set the fastest lap time, but a series of close ones.
Don't forget to set your race length to 6 laps and place your car on top of the grid. Any AI grid is good as long as it is slow enough not to interrupt your driving and fast enough not to become an obstacle in case you find yourself in position to overlap them. I recommend cars within Japanese 276 HP level.

S-5: Hot Run: Mirage Crossing
Course: Mirage Crossing (Full)
Car: Lancia 037 (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 2'26.000, Silver - 2'29.000, Bronze - 2'35.000
Specials: Would you like to compete on Baja 1000 or Dakar Rally? Sure, we'll give you the recommendation. But first, clear our stage with the famous rally car. Power-steer is going to be dangerous, so learn on which parts of the course the car loses control. Stay away from the edges of the course, piles of sand reduce your speed and traction.
The course is randomly generated, but you can beat the best time regardless of the configuration - hopefully. Good luck!

Course: Pacific Gateway (Full)
Car: De Tomaso Pantera (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 2'02.000, Silver - 2'05.000, Bronze - 2'08.000
Specials: Although the test car you're going to drive is quite rigid and stable, it will try to oversteer progressively. Anticipate its movements and control the slide with counter-steering. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.
Rankings
S-7: Hot Lap: Löwenseering

Car: Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car (stock, TCS)
Goal: Gold - 2'11.400, Silver - 2'13.000, Bronze - 2'16.000
Specials: Another high-speed run. This time, however, you have plenty of downforce to rely on and electronic device to assist you. Use black markings on the road as a guide for the ideal line. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.
Rankings
S-8: Hot Lap: Wintertraum

Goal: Gold - 1'46.000, Silver - 1'50.000, Bronze - 1'55.000
Specials: The test car you are going to drive is a RWD car with center of gravity located towards the rear. For that reason keeping the car under control will be quite challenging. Give the advantage to oversteer as oppose to understeer and carefully trim its bearing. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

Course: Nürburgring Nordschleife (Full)
Car: RUF CTR 'the old RR model' (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 7'35.000, Silver - 7'40.000, Bronze - 7'50.000
Specials: Welcome to your ultimate and final challenge at Nordschleife. Driving today's test car is going to be very hard, let alone memorizing the course. We strongly recommend you to drive slowly on the first run and get used to rear end sliding. Driving in higher gear through some corners may be very helpful. The car must not touch the outer grass after crossing the finish line. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping. Good luck!
Rankings
All you have to do is select "Time Attack" from the main menu and follow instructions of each test described down below. If you need to turn on a driving assist, you can do it by accessing "Options" from the race menu (press Start button). If you need to alter a car, you can do it by accessing "Grid" from the race menu, clicking on your car and selecting "Settings". This is an example of how general format for each test will look:
Course: Tsukuba Circuit (S1)
Car: Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (stock, OFF)
OR
Car: Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (LSD - Full 'lock', ESC & TCS)
The first line says the test will be held on Sector 1 of Tsukuba Circuit, so you should select the track and that particular sector in the Time Attack menu.
The second line says you have to choose the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA from the car menu, leaving car settings as they are (stock) and turn off all the driving aids (OFF).
The third line explains what to do if certain restrictions are dictated. In this case you would have to move the LSD slider to far right (Lock) and turn on both driving aids.
Also, very important, I do not accept Black Flags unless specified. You get those by colliding or going off the course. The run must be clean.
Every other exceptions regarding tracks, conditions, etc. or certain tips are going to be mentioned under the label "Specials".
And that is it! Basically, the concept follows the License system Gran Turismo series pioneered and eventually polished to perfection. If you have enjoyed those, make sure to give the tests below a try. Have fun and post your times if you want, I will add them to Rankings below each test.
B-1: Driving Basics: Starting and Shifting
Course: Ocean Bridge (Full)
Car: Daihatsu Copen (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'34.300, Silver - 0'34.600, Bronze - 0'36.000
Specials: Welcome to your first driving test! You're going to practice accelerating and shifting. You can rely on automatic transmission for the sake of test completion, but to beat the best result, you'll have to switch to manual and pay specific attention to the car's peak power light gauge on the rev limiter. The power output on this engine reduces as you rev past the peak point, so change the gears accordingly.

Specials: Although it is possible to clear the first right corner at full speed, by doing so you will risk missing the ideal braking point, which can affect your exit speed on the second corner and consequently - your uphill speed. Make a compromise by reducing your pace on the first right corner so that you can climb up the hill faster.

Car: Mazda Eunos Roadster S-special (stock, ESC & TCS)
Goal: Gold - 0'38.000, Silver - 0'38.400, Bronze - 0'40.000
Specials: It takes time and practice to master throttle modulation, so the sooner you start, the better. Drive a lap on the track and try to avoid using brakes. The first corner can be tackled from a wider angle than you may think. Use different layout of rumble strips on the second corner as an indicator when to fully step on the throttle. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the test, don't continue with lapping.

Car: Nissan 180SX Type X (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'13.400, Silver - 0'13.800, Bronze - 0'14.700
Specials: You'll be learning to deal with oversteer by driving a moderately powerful rear-wheel drive car. The banked section prior the corner entry will likely reduce grip on the rear axle on your way in, so use that momentum to point the car into right direction. Gently open the throttle as you clear the corner to prevent the car from spinning out of control.

Car: Ford Mustang 2005 "class B" (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'41.350, Silver - 0'41.600, Bronze - 0'43.000
Specials: Another set of complicated corners this time requires a run by a powerful RWD car. Be careful though, as the surface is completely soaked. On approach to corners learn to control oversteer by counter-steering. Don't floor the acceleration pedal too harshly as the car will spin out instantly.

Course: Burgenschlucht (S3)
Car: Toyota Supra RZ (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'31.000, Silver - 0'31.500, Bronze - 0'33.000
Specials: Before you reach the final straightway, you will face changes in elevation of the surface on the long left corner. This will effect grip on the rear axle, so use it to shift the weight and turn the car towards the bridge.
Rankings

Car: TVR Tamora (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'39.500, Silver - 0'40.000, Bronze - 0'42.000
Specials: This time you shouldn't use loss of grip to trim the car's bearing. Neutralize car's wild tendency to oversteer by gently releasing the throttle when going over the two crests.
Rankings

Coffee Break: Precision Driving
Course: Tsukuba Circuit Night (S3)
Car: Chevrolet Astro (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'19.250, Silver - 0'19.500, Bronze - 0'21.000
Specials: You are now going to prove that you can drive while relying on your inner senses. Your task is to enter the pit zone and clear the section without touching the grass on the left or the wall on the right side. Likewise, once you enter the enclosed part of the pit, you must not touch the wall or the two poles that appear on the left nor the white, rectangle-shaped concrete surface on the right. The car is extremely wide so your steering inputs must be perfect!

Car: Nismo Silvia S15 R-Tune (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'37.000, Silver - 0'37.500, Bronze - 0'39.000
Specials: Initiate the slide by flooring the throttle as soon as you run over the crest on the long, circular right corner. Control the drift with steering and make sure to approach the exit of the "coil" from wider angle, otherwise you won't be able to step on the throttle pedal. The last S-turn prioritizes gentle weight transfer, so don't overdo it. Although it is possible to clear the entire test with pure grip style, drifting will allow you to learn one of many benefits of rear axle skidding.
Rankings
0'36.589 - Gold - @Wolfe
AI-7: Special Techniques: Downhill Driving
Course: Dragon Range Downhill (S2)
Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'44.650, Silver - 0'45.000, Bronze - 0'47.000
Specials: On previous few tests you learned how the grip can be affected when going uphill, now it is time to do the same when going downhill. Brake before each corner sufficiently, apply the handbrake and floor the throttle. The car is built to produce competitive and safe oversteer right from the start, so use it to clear the corners swiftly. Handbrake timing is crucial. If you do everything as we've advised you, you will clear corners much faster than you would do it with usual grip style driving. You're welcome.

Car: Fiat 131 Abarth Rally (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 0'28.600, Silver - 0'29.000, Bronze - 0'31.500
Specials: This is a difficult test on which you have to use momentum of the car to run through the entire section as fast as possible. Needles to say, delicate throttle modulation is ultra-required, but the general speed will also play the important role. The faster you drive, the easier it becomes to climb the uphill section after the bridge and control behaviour of the rear axle. It sounds unusual, but you will see why in reality it isn't.

Car: Honda NSX Type-R "facelifted model" (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 2'05.400, Silver - 2'07.500, Bronze - 2'11.000
Specials: Welcome to Nordschleife - again. This time you don't have any electronics devices to pamper your driving skills, so be careful. Tackle complex corners with changes in elevation. On some corners you'll have to rely on understeer, while on others on oversteer. The last, notorious part of the course coming after Pflanzgarten can be completed with full speed if proper line is used. Good luck!

Car: Ford GT (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'12.500, Silver - 1'13.500, Bronze - 1'15.000
Specials: This is a high-speed city run. With very little downforce pushing you down, cornering line is going to play important role on this test. Power-steer may be used to your advantage on some corners, but don't overdo it. The test must be completed from a standing start.

Car: Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA (set rear LSD to first 'R' of Rear, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'33.500, Silver - 1'35.000, Bronze - 1'38.000
Specials: Run through autumn scenario using the vintage RWD car. Oversteer on corner entries is going to appear frequently, try to use it to eliminate understeer. Medium-speed section surrounding the tunnel can be tackled with drifting. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

Car: Peugeot 406 Coupe (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 1'54.000, Silver - 1'56.000, Bronze - 1'58.000
Specials: The test car is a heavy FWD coupe. Combat understeer and inner wheelspin while going around complex blind corners. Try to keep the car's weight as still as possible. Proper steering inputs will be required on sharp corners. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

Coffee Break: Speed and Consistency
Course: Victoria Garden (Full)
Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car 'class R model' (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 98.00 %, Silver - 97.70 %, Bronze - 97.00 %
Specials: This is our last cup of coffee for you, try not to spill it. Clear the 6-lap race within the time limit of 5'40.000. If the overall race time is higher than 5'40.000, you automatically fail the test. This tests your speed.
We're also going to test your consistency. Write down your total time and fastest lap (both appear on the ranking screen after you cross the finish line). Convert both to seconds for easier calculation. Divide total time by 6 (lap count) to get average lap time. Now divide your fastest lap by the average time and multiply the result with 100. That gives you consistency rating.
As an advice, try not to push too hard, because if you make a mistake on one corner you won't be able to recover lost time by pushing harder on next one. The goal is not to set the fastest lap time, but a series of close ones.
Don't forget to set your race length to 6 laps and place your car on top of the grid. Any AI grid is good as long as it is slow enough not to interrupt your driving and fast enough not to become an obstacle in case you find yourself in position to overlap them. I recommend cars within Japanese 276 HP level.

Course: Mirage Crossing (Full)
Car: Lancia 037 (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 2'26.000, Silver - 2'29.000, Bronze - 2'35.000
Specials: Would you like to compete on Baja 1000 or Dakar Rally? Sure, we'll give you the recommendation. But first, clear our stage with the famous rally car. Power-steer is going to be dangerous, so learn on which parts of the course the car loses control. Stay away from the edges of the course, piles of sand reduce your speed and traction.
The course is randomly generated, but you can beat the best time regardless of the configuration - hopefully. Good luck!

Specials: The test car you are going to drive is a RWD car with center of gravity located towards the rear. For that reason keeping the car under control will be quite challenging. Give the advantage to oversteer as oppose to understeer and carefully trim its bearing. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping.

S-9: Graduation Test: Hot Lap - Nürburgring Nordschleife
Course: Nürburgring Nordschleife (Full)
Car: RUF CTR 'the old RR model' (stock, OFF)
Goal: Gold - 7'35.000, Silver - 7'40.000, Bronze - 7'50.000
Specials: Welcome to your ultimate and final challenge at Nordschleife. Driving today's test car is going to be very hard, let alone memorizing the course. We strongly recommend you to drive slowly on the first run and get used to rear end sliding. Driving in higher gear through some corners may be very helpful. The car must not touch the outer grass after crossing the finish line. The test must be completed from a standing start. Once you cross the finish line, restart the session, don't continue with lapping. Good luck!

It was one of the most satisfying tests to beat so far; I kept the replay. AI-2 was interesting because I had never run that sector by itself before, and it's a convenient one for repeating the twisty portion of Tsukuba. Just FYI, you can get away with straddling the curb without a black flag on the right hand corner after the first hairpin. 
Good thing I have two more copies and I'm using the worst one for now!
