oh then ok wat, didnt know that, havent hosted a game yet lol. maybe should check it out tonight.
anybody golded the Top Gear Test Track Lotus challenge? if yes, pls share. that challenge is quite a b****...i bronzed it at 4th, was using ds3 coz lazy to setup wheel but feel like easier to drive on ds3 than wheel

i manage to golded the Top Gear Test Track Lotus Challenge just now...dunno how many times i tried b4 succeed..best part is i wheelie my car in the process before overtaking the red car in front in the very last corner (langgar cone tgh jalan punya pasal)..if not because of the wheelie i think i can manage to overtake him on hammerhead on 2nd lap..anyway luck play major part here..just memorize every car's movement and don't give up..in the end you will handle the car like second nature.
Tips:
1. Turn every aids ON since the major requirement is to use Comfort:Hard tyres. That's the main purpose of the challenge: to survive on using that tyre. (In reality, that Lotus Elise use Sports tyres so it should't handle like that). My setup in general is ABS 4, TC 1, Skid Recovery Force ON, Active Steering MILD. There are many setup out there, its all depend on your liking.
2. Watch the AI and memorize what they do. Seems like they're programmed to run a certain line and brake at certain points. Use this to your advantage.
3. Easy up on the throttle when cornering. Don't floor it when you are on low speed corner. Only floor it when going straight.
4. Use just a little bit of drifting into the first corner. 'Potong' the 1st car on the outside and if can second car on the inside.
5. Use 'power slides' going into Follow-through corner. (that corner into the big road/runway there with many cones on your right)
6. If can use side of opponent's car when cornering at the low speed corner.
7. You can hit the orange/white cone @ right side going into chicago corner (you can overtake some car here after langgar the cone). Also use this to your advantage. Just make sure don't hit the solid orange colour cone wherever in the track.
8. If you manage to get 3rd position when passing the finish line into 2nd lap..you have high chance of passing the 1st car through Hammerhead or through the very last corner. If 4th place slim chance but very possible (depends on luck).
9. Watch Youtube video to get some idea.
Hope that helps. Btw im using steering and that help too..alot. And to sum up here's a momento of that finish. GOOD LUCK!
