I got the Cerberus 12, built it out and was pleased to see that it would qualify for the British Lightweights race in Spec B. So it does weigh a couple of pounds more, but its got like 4 - 5 times the hp than the best of the other entrants. Well, Bob was in dead last before the first lap was completed.

I've entered this car in several spec B events, he can't seem to finish higher than last place.

Is there something really wrong with this car?

BOB been drinking the petrol again! Make sure you got the best tyres on possible.
 
Talk to your B-Spec driver, he might be a wizz at cornering lightweights and hates power monsters.
 
Are you referring to the London track (I believe it is called London anyways) that is very narrow? I had a hard time with that one on B-Spec as well.
 
Cerberus is a 3 headed dog.

This car needs delicate throttle inputs all the way up through the gears. I doubt your Bob can cope with it.
 
I used an Elise 111R (not RM) for Bob and he managed to win it with that, but with the TVR speed 12 dead last, and 4th with a Grifith 500. My son used a Lotus Evora for his Bob and he won with that.
 
bob used that car for me 4th london, 5th on tgtt for him to get gold on them i used the elise RM the older elise one
 
I always use the best tires that I'm allowed in any race.

It was the Top Gear track and as it turns out, I used a slightly modified Elise and Bob had no problem winning.

I've actually used this car in several B-spec races against a variety of cars, the only thing in common is that this car always has loads more power than any two of the opponents combined. Bob is almost always in dead last before the first lap is through.

If I have time, I'll try driving it in a-spec and I'll see what happens.
 
The car confuses me, its very light but it steers like a boat. If your looking for a drag car, the speed 12 is one of the best but with all the wheel spin the car produces you will finish last in almost every b-spec race you enter.
 
This car understeers like it's on bicycle tires. The Speed 6 is the same; there's a License test that uses that one, and I couldn't get gold without the e-brake on at least three of the four turns.
 
Tvr's are a car company that only recently havecracked the handling part of things let's say tvr are renound for rubbish handling cars..the cebera speed 12 is an old tvr.it's basically a shopping trolly with a big engine.they concentrated on power more than handling abilities back in the day but now they have made cars like the sagaris which handles great.trust me mate no matter what you do that cebera speed 12 will not corner like you want it to.it's a straight line car
 
I either used the Fireblade or the G4.. but apparently the TVR Speed 12 sucks for bspec.
