heres a copy and paste of a post i made in another thread.
For the lotus, well thats just rediculous with aids off, i had trac control set to 4 and turned on that slide recovery thing. Once you get a line sorted your set, again staying off the arses of other cars coming up to braking points.
My tips for the lotus, brake early for the first left hander (before where the racing line is first red if you have it on) get on the inside lane of the car infront and accelerate a bit before braking again to actually get around the corner. If you nail this spot you can get into 10th by getting on the inside of the next car mid corner (a bit of dirty driving involved by rubbing against him if you dont hit too hard).
You should then be able to take the next 2 on the small left hander at the start of chicago, again cutting the inside lane, clip a couple cones if you have to, you'll carry enough speed to slip on the inside on the next car (maybe 2 if lucky) for the longer right hand corner of chicago. On the straight before hammerhead you should be in 6th or 7th position already.
I took the outside coming into hammerhead, inside is difficult as you have cones to worry about, if you cut its DQ'd, if you dont do that your also highly likely to hit another car too hard here. Stick with the outside for the quick left hander, you'll be able to outbrake the next car picking up a spot, plus it puts you on the inside of the next car for the right hand longer corner.
Straight up to the follow through, brake a touch, slides easy here on full power and hard to correct, i kept over correcting here so it was safer to brake a bit more and only had a slight slide coming out of it easier to correct (kept power on and pretty much sorted itself without any steering input here if you arent going too fast)
Last 2 corners on first lap i was sometimes able to get into 3rd spot, on time when i actually finished first i was still just in 4th spot start of second lap.
All going well, pass at same points mentioned for first lap, i made it to second coming out of chicago, and passed the leader on the straight before the last 2 corners. Win by 3.7 seconds!!
All passing points are the same for the samba buses.
hope this helps anyone if it makes sense, i took pics of me passing the leader in both races using photo mode in the replay, but then realised its not much proof if we all dont have the same colour vehicles? my bus was red and white and my lotus was white i think.
unlock the track with the samba gold, and win a lotus type 72 '01 for the other, mine was black.
