Turning left

Junior looked less certain about making the final left-hand turn through a stream of oncoming traffic. On a number of occasions when the traffic had cleared, the car stuttered forward only to apply the brakes again, apparently sensing a phantom obstacle. Due to a series of delays at the same turning--some for nearly a minute at a time--Junior managed to complete just under 11 laps of Test area A. On a positive note, its conservatism ensured that it was one of the few cars not to incur a beep from one of the stunt drivers indicating a hazardous driving maneuver.
