Time Trial 10 - Complex String
This is where I earn that Esperante GTR-1. Nearly 5 minutes of the most unreasonable series of turns a driver will ever see. I skipped over the rally trials for now because I don't want to switch to rally mode and back to turmac only to face this monstrousity. Just the the portion up to checkpoint 1 took me a good 10 minutes to master (I restarted the trial if I don't make 49.1). Then came the corners, which were relatively easy. The only thing to watch for is the last corner, ensuring that you have a good exit speed. The bubbles were not that bad since Yamauchi wasn't following a good line for it. The section between checkpoint 1 and checkpoint 2 took me about 5 minutes to get a competitive time. The first time I passed checkpoint 3, I realized that I was already beating the demo's time, so I just went with it. I know I lost time to Yamauchi between checkpoint 2 and the finish, but it was still enough for me to finish first. I have to say it wasn't nearly as painful as my first attempt two years ago.
