I cant seem to get past the first test on the ib lisence.the one where you have to drive in the circle with the corvette.i got gold on the bigger circle on my first try but i cant seem to get this on.does anyone have any tips for me?

stay right on the inside right at the edge of sliding all the way around...u can use the rumble strip to get a little more traction but be careful: if u are about to slip off the rumble strip get off the gas or u will slide outside. on the last lap, when u hit the 3/4 mark, gun it. u will probably wind up on the way outside when u cross the finish, but the extra speed will more than make up for it

manual tranny. keep it in second and let the needle bounce
that'll get you bronze

I can add this for you, don't spin the tires at the launch! The demo does this and you can beat him by two car lengths right off the bat if you keep the tires from spinning. Put the engine RPM's to about 3,000 before the launch a accelerate smoothly to speed.

Try and keep in the middle and have one tire on the rumble strip in the centre of the circle at the one time, also, don't overshoot.

Maybe it's too obvious, but nobody's mentioning that good accelerator control will make this test ridiculously easy.

Remember, the buttons are pressure-sensative. This test is all about finding the right speed.

Just go towards the center of the track, then you don't need to steer. Keep it pushed hard to the right, and steer with the accelerator. Stay near the center and keep it at exactly 58 MPH. A steady thumb will get you Silver on the first try. Listen to Solid Lifters and get a good launch and you'll get gold.

Wow, the digital buttons on the DS2 are pressure sensitive? I didn't know that. Before I got my GT Force I used the analog joysticks to get some resemblance of a real gas pedal.

Whenever I watch the demos, I notice the demo driver is either full throttle or zero throttle. Anyone know if the demo drivers are using the basic DS2?

Now that is a GOOD tip.

Don't hold the accelerator all the way down.

The demos are all done with automatic tramsission and with analog control turned off, which makes the S-7 and S-8 gold times pretty impressive.
