I've made a clip of my run at the Marsolino gold medal:

The best challenge to go for a Gold medal on, is Marsolino as you only need to beat 34 seconds. So it's a short track should you need to make several attempts.
The achievement may not unlock immediately, so don't fret. As mentioned in my other guide, you have a ghost replay, so aim to keep beating that and avoid contact with the outside of the track as this will slow you down.
