i hated the inconsistency of how hard you can hit the AI cars and what cones you can hit. i found you can pick up a lot of places at chicago and hammerhead. if you go straight and run through the 3 cones before chicago, you should pick up 3 places on the first lap. at hammerhead you can sorta do the same, but watch out what cones you hit. you can basically cut the whole first part of hammerhead. by follow through, you should be in 5. yes, i know this is cheating, but hell with the Comfort Hard tires on an Elise.

i'm not close, but those challenges seem to be getting harder and harder. do you have to get gold to win a prize car or you just gotta pass?

AGREED!!

Level 18 going for 19. I think it is going to be a while before any of us see level 30.

best race for gathering cash so far is the Expert level Turbo Cars race. 36k for 3 laps flat out on the high speed ring. With the McClaren or Veyron it is a QUICk 36k

i'm on 13 or 14 in ASpec and 0 on BSPec. waiting to get higher in levels to take the last set of test.

after a lot of tries, i got gold in the Lotus challenge. after the first corner i got up to 10th. i'll tap my brakes early and then get back on the gas after the cars in 11th and 10th moves to the right for their lines to the first corner. pass 11th, and bump 10th on the side for a tighter line into the first turn. then i'll run straight and hit the 3 cones at the entry of chicago passing the cars on the right side and brake to make it so i'll be to the left of the tires at the end of chicago. should be in 7th or 8th. brake a little before the 50 (i have driving line off, so i don't know where it suggests to brake) and stay right to entry of hammerhead. should be in 4th or 5th after hammerhead. slow down a bit for follow through and should be in 4th by the end of the first lap and repeat 2nd lap. i got into first at Gambon on the last lap. hope it helps, and you know the saying slower is faster. which is true with the Lotus on horrible tires.

I've been trying to find a used one with no luck. But I just got my collector's edition and it appears there is a voucher for 5 cars, one of which is a 300sl. Looks like I have my car for the classic euro races.


I thought the Lotus challenge was far easier than VW Bus one. I was in 5th place by the follow through, second by the end of the first lap and was in first going through Chicago. I did turn the SRF on mild and with abs. It still was difficult to control, but I got a handle on it faster than the Bus. The faster the car, the easier it was to get it into a position to advance positions.

I'm currently a level 19, half way to 20. I just finished getting Gold in the B and A license test last night. I found the A license far easier to get Gold. Some of the races I got gold on the first try.
