I'm doing B-Spec, British lightweight with the Stealth McLaren...Top Gear Track

I got my Bob an insumountable lead, then left him to his own devices to come back and find him in 8th...I didn't know what happened...

So I did the race again and watched it the whole time...and worked it out.

He was so much faster, he lapped the field...and because the track crosses over, he was being hit head on by one of the other chump cars, and knocked in the wrong direction...and to add insult to injury, he goes the wrong way on the track, and essentially joins the back of the pack, with the cars that just hit him.

I don't know how to avoid it
 
Lol. Did you tell him to maintain pace before you left him alone. Also try to get him to slow down during crossovers.
 
I've always said it... the TG Track is great for testing and terrible for racing.

The B-Spec drivers seem to particularly struggle to cope with it!

Still, I love the bit in the Kubelwagen race where the Schwimmwagen wipes out the KW in front of you :D
 
Every time my B-Spec driver crossed paths with the rest of the field, I closed my eyes until it was over. :scared: Luckily, he never got T-boned by an Elise. :D
 
Got through eventually...

I got him to the lead, and spent the whole race trying to slow him down...it worked great...until the final lap where

a) He was hit and spun on the first crossover...and looked for all money to be going down the wrong way again, only to smash through the cones and back onto the right track

and

b) He was hit in the second cross-over, but not spun of course.

I can't believe going into this race I didn't consider the possibility of this happening.

I remember thinking when I did it that if it wasn't for having the driving line on, I probably would have gone the wrong way myself lol
 
I raced that in a caterham. It's just so faster that even ai can win in it, but doesn't interfere with the rest of them at the crossover.
 
i have to tell my B-spec baffoon to reduce pace 10 times or he will spins the car and goes into the hot because he cant drive for peanuts
