i have beaten the top gear test track in special events.
bronze, bronze, and silver...
Now what?

i really want to drift it
 
you need to beat the samba bus challenge by getting gold. Only then will you unlock it.
 
any tips for getting gold on that one?
Learn where the AI are slow. Chicago, Hammerhead and Bacharach are easily the best opportunities, you can easily make up enough positions in those three corners.
 
Go faster than them. We have a questions and answers forum, and I'm sure it's been mentioned there several times. Use the search button!
 
Slipstream slipstream slipstream. An awful lot of time to be gained by slipstreaming.
 
I watched a video on youtube of someone winning gold. Compared his driving lines to mine as well as his braking points on each corner then modified my driving. worked on the 2nd try.
 
The worst part is avoiding the AI. They stick to their lines really hard. So hard, I actually got spun by them twice before Hammerhead, lol. A car that slow being spun around is tough. I kept an eye on where the best opportunities for passing were. Coming into Chicago, you can pass a few guys in the inside easily. Try to go wide out of Chicago to get on the gas early, and in as straight a line as possible. Out of Chicago, you should be behind the gray VW. Take the inside line into the first part of Hammerhead, and brake alot later than the AI cars. Same goes for the second to last corner. Be careful because they brake right on the apex, on the curb. Brake late, and straight, cut in late, and get a straight line out of that second to last corner to get ahead of the AI that are braking on the apex. Rinse and repeat on the second lap and you should be good.

On the other hand... it's nice that they are scripted. You can predict where they'll be and maneuver around them.
