Here is the second part of the extensive mission 34 guide:
4th split section :
This section isn't very tough, however it took me ages to find out why I was losing time here... the solution was very simple... and you can only run this section well in MT
As you approach the left hander at the end of the short straight (in 3rd gear), brake slightly, then take the turn.
Here is the first part that I was losing lots of time on. When you get to the next left hander, you need to brake before you get to the turn. Downshift to 2nd and brake prior to entry, then hug the inside of the left hander and you should be able to accelerate through it and drift out to the left on exit when it moves back to the right.
Shift to 3rd on the short straight, then do the downshift to 2nd and brake trick for the next right hand turn, accelerate after the appex and speed away and shift into 3rd.
The next S curve requires a slight brake prior to entry, but its nothing to difficult to figure out. Continue passed this to the series of three left handers. Brake pretty hard for the first one... youll feel like your slowing down more than you need to... but if you do it right youll be able to run the next two at nearly full to full throttle.
Continue through this area until you reach the short right then sharp left section. This section costs LOTS of lost time in AT... the MT procedure literally saves at least 1 full second. As you enter the slight right, downshift to second and full brake, then downshift to first and go full throttle around the sharp bend to the left. The road then curves back right and you upshift to 2nd then 3rd etc.
This is the end of the 4th split section. At this point you should have a split time of about 1:17.8xx-1:19.5xx. If you are running well youll be in the 1:18's. If you are running amazingly well, you might crack into 1:17 land, but dont expect to see this happen... only happened once for me.
5th split section
This is another easy section. Continue to accelerate and gain speed until you reach you left hander ahead. Downshift into 2nd and brake, take this turn, and you should drift out to the right side of the course.
Continue through the dip ahead and get to the left side of the road as you approach the right hand turn. Resist the urge to shift to 3rd. If you stay in 2nd, you can brake very quickly before taking the right, and then go full throttle, maximizing exit speed for the next long straight section.
Continue to gain speed through the straight section of the course and upshift. When you reach the right hander at the end of the fast section. Downshift to 3rd and brake, then downshift to 2nd, speed through the righthand exit, upshift when necessary, adn continue to pick up speed.
This is the end of the 5th split section. You should now be about 1:05.000-1:06.500 secs behind. Anything below 1:07 and you still ok.
6th split section + pass of 5th place car:
Just drive through most of the first part. Theres one section where the brake indicator flashes 4 on a right turn but you dont need to slow down at all.
Oh yeah... if you didnt notice... that thing up ahead... yeah thats the 5th place car! So yes, you can pass it before the karussel, LOL.
However the next left hander requires some attention. Shift into 3rd and brake hard, and you should then be able to go full throttle through the turn.
You hit the split now and should be somewhere around 1:55. Don't worry about that though, because youre about 2 turns away from actually knowing if youre actually doing well.
Continue up the hill, then next right hander is worth braking a little bit for, but not too much bc its not needed. Continue ahead and you should be quickly approaching car #5. When you get the the long right prior to the karussel, downshift to 2nd and brake hard, then feather the accelerator until you can go full out through the rest of the turn.
If you ran very well, your all over the #5 car in this turn. WHATEVER you do, dont bump him from behind. Any contact, no matter how slight, is an instant 5s penalty and the end of you hopes. (this holds true when approaching any car).
Pass him cleanly on the turn or straight, preferably on the right. Then when you get to the karussel, downshift to second and slow down a little and then ride the outside wall. Upon exit, you should see the #5... i mean #6 car
slowing falling behind in the rear view mirror! 👍
This is the end of part 2. If you've gotten this far, chances are youre in very good shape, even without my help. However, I will finish this guide, prolly in 1 more section, tomorrow afternoon/night.
Once again, I hope this helps, and continue to reach for the stars on mission 34! If this helps one person pass this mission, i will be fully satisfied! Good luck everyone.
PS see part one on p 20 off this thread.
once they are all done I will compile it into 1 message and post it here, and maybe the mods will pin it or something and make it its own topic, or ill post it in write-ups or something. If you have advice on how to make this a better guide, or a way to make it more noticeable/accessible, let me know.
