1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J)

B  License Test

2.       ACCELERATION AND BREAKING: 2

Test Car: 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J)

Gold Time: 0’11.000

Silver Time: 0’11.220

Bronze Time: 0’12.200

The second test for the B License category is Acceleration and Braking: 2. these test is a little bit similar from the first one, because of the same objective that has to be completed to pass. The only difference is I will be driving in a longer track, which is 200 meters, double the distance from the previous track, in full speed. And this time, I will be driving a much faster and much powerful car. The 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT at the starting Line

From the starting line, I have to dash to the 200-meter line and bring the car to a complete stop as near to the finish line as possible. Now, I have to be very precise here on braking, because if I hit it too early I will most likely push the accelerate button again to bring the vehicle at the right spot where it should stop. If I hit the brake a little too late, there is a possibility that the car won’t stop immediately because the distance from the starting line is greater, the rate of travel will also be faster. If that happens, I will most likely hit the cones at the end of the finish line and fail the test automatically.

And now, the actual test. When the ”START” appeared on the screen, I pressed the X button right away. Well, according to FFBeowulf on his License Test Guide, “Do NOT NOT NOT put full throttle down from the starting line” and I must start my throttle at 4000rpm to hit a good launch. As soon as I reached the 100-meter mark, I released the X button to decrease my speed. Because of that, I knew that I can now say bye-bye to the gold and silver trophy. But that’s okay, my primary objective is not to gather as many gold or silver as I can, but rather to pass the entire license tests from B License to S License. That’s all.

At the finish line

When I saw that the blue line became red, I immediately hit the square button. And the car stopped where I expected it to stop. The bronze GT logo appeared on the screen telling me that I successfully passed the second test with the time 0’12.187.
