A platinum medal in Need for Speed: The Run for the Limited Edition challenge, "The Duel".

A blind hill ending in a sharp right that cannot be made without knowing to brake ahead of time? Somehow, I'm reminded of something. No, not Laguna Seca, but an earlier challenge called Road Runner.

There's no way around it, you have to brake hard sometime between before you take off at 0:27 and after you land around 0:29. Braking in the air will do nothing, of course. I take the corner about as sharply as possible. But up until that hill, you're free to accelerate at full speed.

The next blind hill at 0:37 is pretty easy. You can just accelerate into it. At 0:41, ease off the throttle or you'll lose control of your car. For the jump at 0:45, throw your car to the right to keep it on the path. From there, you're in the clear as the rest of the challenge is pretty easy. Cut corners if you want, there's a lot of curvy roads that can be avoided.
