TruenoEightSixHere's a question worth pondering:
How do get the last R-license test done? I've tried over and over, and cannot do it. I used to be a rally god when GT2 was the game of choice, but now I just plain suck. I could've smoked it before, but lost my edge in order to be a better grip racer. Now I can't nail the drifting on dirt thing. Anybody have any tips?
One thing I can suggest, is that you learn to take it easy on some corners. There are a couple of corners in Tahiti Maze/Circuit, where if you keep the throttle open, you can almost always expect to spin-out. There's one just before the tarmac straightaway, and there's another at the end of the long dirt straightaway in the middle of the course. You can use the brakes somewhat, but I think that most people either just drift or keep it floored throughout most of the race. Smooth steering and sudden side-to-side movements should be avoided. When you're trying to thread the needle on the Smokey Mountain track (just before you get to the tunnel, and just after leaving the tunnel on Smokey Mountain II), success depends upon keeping the car in the middle, and keeping side-to-side movement to a minimum. Oh, and keeping it floored!!!
Hope that helps somewhat.
Oh yes, and on the Swiss Alps course, just before you come to the last turn before the Start/Finish line, there is sort-of chicane which you have to hit the brakes for way early in order to get through it in a controlled manner. If you don't, you'll swing way wide and probably smack the wall. The guy behind you, if he's close, will more than likely sail past you as he keeps to the middle, so keep those last couple of corners in mind.
