Mountain Descent ⚡

Downhill speed zone through tight mountain switchbacks. Gravity helps on the straights but punishes mistakes in the corners. Brake too late and you're going off a cliff.

How to Get 3 Stars

Here's what actually works, based on more attempts than I'd like to admit:

1. Downhill means you're always going faster than you think. Brake earlier than your instincts tell you
2. The third switchback is tighter than it looks. Drop to 3rd gear or you'll understeer into the guardrail
3. Weight transfer is everything. Be smooth — abrupt inputs upset the car on the downhill slope
4. You can cut across the inside of the last hairpin. Not clean, but fast
5. A lighter car helps with downhill braking. The 720S or GT3 RS are better than the heavy hypercars
