I am having biiiiiiiiiiiig problems with this race. I dont really know what I have to do. I can finish it with 18.0 on the scale thingy but it says I have still failed! How do I do it???
 
The test description tells you you need to be doing at least 10km per 1 litre of fuel, if you multiply these two figures by 10 you can see that you will need to keep the gage at or below 10.0 when you cross the line to pass the test.

This had me totally confused at first until I saw an explanation. Just coast into the corners as much as possible and you should pass easily.
 
This lesson is so different from the others that it's difficult to understand at first what is expected from you.
When you know this (see ^^^), the lesson becomes easy.
You can bring the pedal to the metal for a few seconds to increase your speed when you exit the big turns, then release the gas pedal until the gauge has dropped around 10.0. Then you can put some gas back to keep your speed.
Try to have the gauge at 9.9 when you cross the finish line, you'll pass the lesson.
 
OMG that was soooooo easy once I knew what to do. Passed it 2nd try. I just get it up to about 80 - 100 km/h and then coast it. I passed the line with about 8.9. :) :)
 
When you gold it, you can try and go faster that Mr P. (1'26.7 on db.granturismo.de). I'm gold but far from that...
