Y'all check out Racing Mania's comment about Lab 3, good info.

I'll add my experience on specific tests as well.

Lab 3 test 29: Patagonia map drift 12,000 points. Pro 5435 max 2222 unboosted.

This one is actually pretty easy, minimal trolling. Drift the intire time please. There are QC awards for drifting 5,000 meters which is the entirety of the track time. Not hard, but you may think you need to triple boost to the next set of gates, no don't.

You also get QC for flatspins, don't worry, if you're familiar with this track you get plenty of opportunities to flat spin. Usually before that tunnel entrance, I do my first flat spins over that decline, before going into the tunnel entrance on the right side that's kinda hidden, there's a nitro bottle to guide you.

The trickiest bit is the ramp in the tunnel! The first time, my MP instincts kicked in and I did a forced barrel roll off to the left, which I immediately saw was a bad idea because I missed a bunch of gates in the last bit of tunnel. Didn't matter, still made 12,000 points.

At the very end of your first lap there's an epic ramp where you can finish off your flat spin goal. On my second run in that same tunnel ramp, I decided to do a flat spin jump around that effing FALLING ROCK, which I nailed perfectly. But once you land you immediately need to dodge rock pillars and drift though gates on cylindrical rocky ground. If you crash or miss a gate, don't panic they give you enough time especially with my tuning.

If I had to do it again I'd probably skip the Falling rock ramp and either do a forced barrel roll, or whatever, off to the left, OR at the beginning of the tunnel, enter on the left and bypass that whole mess. Just know you'll be missing out on gate points and flat spins, which again, is okay if you have a game plan.

Test 30:

Alps, Finish 1st, 12 second air time, 3 flatspins in one jump. Super easy. My first test to utterly fail. I collected so many QCs as well, didn't even use tokens to keep them. I have plenty of time, and I'm tired of letting GL hustle me out of my precious tokens. I have 1,409 tokens.

What happened? I got cocky, and decided to take the long way the second time, which I should've known from the first time around, there was no QC that way. Dumb. So I crashed into that rock avalanche and then got caught in a crash loop thanks to next level troll respawn. I crashed over and over again, like 4 times. Just don't go that way. Stay straight and do a flat spin off that ramp. This is a little after the bridge. Btw that first barrel roll ramp is great for 3 flatspins. There are other places as well but to me that's the easiest one.

Goodlux!
