This is a ten-cone slalom in a Z4.  What I found interesting is that there
are two tests, one with yaw correction turned on, and one with it turned
off.  I passed the one with correction turned off my first time (one or
two tries is what those license tests usually take me).  The one with the
assist took me at least twenty times, far longer than any of the others.
Just as in real life, the computer assist may improve performance, but if
it reduces the predictability, that doesn't help much.
