Time Trials & S License Tests

 

I've got replays for most of the Time Trials and some of the S Licences.  Here they are in PAL .xps format:-

Licence S 1

The VX220 test at Apricot Hill is about never lifting off the throttle unless you really have to.

1'38.427 compares favourably with the Gold time of 1'40.000 or 1'40.500 in the NTSC game.

Licence S 2

Widely felt to be one of the most difficult licence tests in the game.  The GT40 car be a tricky car to handle and Seattle 2 is a track with lots of bumps and undulations to catch out it's elderly suspension.

My best time is 1'27.771, a big improvement on the Gold time of 1'30.000

Licence S 3

The Mazda MX-5/Miata around Trial Mountain is a very similar test to Time Trial 2.  It's all about keeping up momentum, particularly through the slower corners.

I'm not so far under the gold time, my 1'51.091 compares to the gold of 1'52.200

Licence S 4

Midfield is my bogey track, and I've never worked out why, even with a nice car like the Pennzoil GT-R

Hence a disappointing 1'10.057 against the Gold time of 1'11.000

Licence S 5

The Toyota Trueno is a car that drives 'loose' at the best of times.  In the wet the problem is magnified.  This test is all about maintaining as much momentum and using as much throttle as you can without losing time in speed-sapping slides.

My best time is 1'56.694 compared to the Gold time of 1'58.900

Licence S 6

The rather enjoyable Chrysler Viper Team Oreca gets to run around the even more enjoyable Laguna Seca.  If I enjoy it so much why can't I go any quicker than this?  I just don't seem to be able to put a lap together.

My best time is 1'15.932 less than 1 second quicker than the 1'16.800 Gold standard.

Licence S 7

TVR Griffith 500 (1998) around SS Route 11.

My time was 2'06.550 to beat the PALGold target of 2'09.300 and the NTSC gold of 2'10.000

Licence S 8

Often regarded as the toughest of the licence's, I found this one easier than many.

My time is 1'25.156 against the PAL Gold target 1'27.800 and way inside the NTSC Gold of 1'31.000

Time Trial 1

I found this Time Trial really difficult, I just don't seem to be able to get myhead around either the Motorsport Elise or Midfield Raceway.

My time best time is 1'21.351

Time Trial 2

Trial Mountain, a great track, in the Mazda MX5, one of the toughest time trials.

My time best time is 1'44.581

Time Trial 3

To get the best out of the Honda S2000 V Spec you seem to need to slide the car into the corner, but not too much or it will scrub off a lot of speed.

My time best time is 1'57.375

Time Trial 4

Deep Forest Raceway (my favourite) in the Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec II R34 (2000).

My time best time is 1'22.619

Time Trial 5

Laguna Seca Raceway (another great track) in the Dodge Viper GTS/R Concept Car (2000).

My time best time is 1'19.971

Time Trial 6

The Castol Supra is a joy to drive, there's nothing you can't do with this car.  Apart from trying to miss all the cones at the chicane, the lap flows nice and easy.

My time best time is 1'14.084

Time Trial 7

Grand Valley Speedway, the Daddy of road tracks, in the Castrol Mugen Honda NSX JCTC Car.

My time best time is 1'44.649

Time Trial 8

Getting down and dirty with the Impreza prototype rally car at Swiss Alps.

My time best time is 1'20.812

Time Trial 9

Tahiti Maze in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car (1999).  An easy time trial to make a mistake in, and ruin your lap.

My time best time is 1'57.417

Time Trial 10

The fearsome and daunting Complex String in the RUF R-GT (2000).  Another track where it's just too easy to make a mistake and go off.

My time best time is 4'42.610
