stupidly easy test. i'd never driven seattle reverse, i have no idea how to do the downhill steps so I took them at full speed and ploughed majestically into the wall at the end, resulting in a five second penalty...and still won with ease. still an annoying car on an annoying track, but thankfully, not hard to beat.

Also taking it slowly stops you a) slamming into the barrier at the end or b) doing a complete 360-spin when you land back down
Easy enough mission - just be smooth, keep the throttle on to balance the car into turns, and watch out for understeer when bouncing off kerbs. I also got the Taurus just after the right-hander at the bottom of the hill, after 2 attempts, both involving crashing downhill.

Wow, once you get over the hellish understeer PD gave this particular GT, this mission is dead easy. I even got penalty at the bottom of the hill and still won by a second.

MISSION 32
Here's a map of the circuit for this mission, with the gears listed for each corner, and brake zones in yellow.
Keys:
-Brake early, as the GT has less-than-excellent brakes.
-Keep the car straight through the jumps on James Street. Otherwise, you'll become acquainted with Mr. Armco.
Disclaimer: This is how I drive the mission. I have a conservative, smooth driving style, so your braking tendencies may not match, but it should give you some idea of where to brake, and how much. Throttle-lifts are NOT shown, but it's not hard to figure out when you should lift. The time reference is for the NTSC version only.

I hope the real Ford GT doesn't corner that poorly.
Brake EARLY and accelerate out...like usual. Car understeers bad if using gas, but handles corners better if you coast through. /shrug

It doesn't. PD ****ed with the settings and driving aids for this particular test, giving the car uncharacteristically hellish understeer. The normal GTs handle just fine though, they're fun cars.wipplewits

I guess in this Mission you just need to pick a good line going around turns and be well-aimed and straight going down the stairsteps. 
Who said cars can't fly? Well, this Ford GT tries to. I used the wall there so the Ford GT didn't get too squirrely. It is an easy race to win but I suppose it's good practice for beginners since you need to be careful by not overdriving. The Ford GT seems to have a fairly soft suspension and medium grip tires (NTSC, DS2, MT). Here's a sample video:

I found unless you let off the gas when jumping, the car would nosedive and lose control on landing, meaning the Shelby runs away from you through the last three 90 corners.
I didn't pass the SHO until the final kink in the straight, but it wasn't hard to beat him.

I must have found this annoying before, because I had left it undone even thought I'd picked off various missions up there. But, by my standards, I finished it pretty quickly after having taken a long time to do Mission 14 (Seattle Forward in the Superbird).
If you're a little too slow, you can then waste time stuck behind 3rd and/or 4th place in the twisty bit. And I found it easy to lose control on the hill, especially if I was on an otherwise good run. The downhill section seems like an arcade driving game.
Doing it immediately after the Superbird probably helped me tolerate the tires, as well as be somewhat familiar with the terrain, even if it was in the opposite direction.

One of the easier missions. As we have aids on, the car is quite stable, and it handles pretty good too. Just watch out for the walls. It can be hard to judge braking points as well as the car's brakes are excellent, but the track is so tight. Got it on like my third try though. Passed the Taurus in the middle of the straight, winning by 2.5 seconds. Now all I have left is the dreaded MISSION 34, and then I have my Nissan.
