Hey guys im just asking what is wrong with the lambo. I take my foot off the accel and it trys to drift? i brake and it does a 90 on me and when i gass it whilst sliding the car goes smoothly till it stops sliding.. all settings on hardest. [edit] Abs on 1. [edit2] Actually with some soft slicks on lambo's have become my fav cars, i just didnt like driving them with hard road tires on edge. The Gallerado with soft slicks is the funnest car you will ever drive in gt5. just take it around 'green hell' you will love everysecond! even if you dont enjoy other lambos.
Its grip levels are insain!

Taking your foot off a mid-engine car will result in lift-off oversteer.

Sounds like you're also braking while not in a straight line, which will result in spinning as the rear tires lose grip. You should probably either practice driving with some slower cars until you get better, or just turn on a lot of ABS and traction control and such to help you out.
 
Do everything Pedal-Force said, and if all else fails, put a wing on it for increased rear downforce to help stabilize it.
 
How do you manage to keep any speed into the first corner of Grand Valley? I can carry a fair bit of speed through the left curve before the tight right hand hairpin but only if I'm 100% on the ball with my corrections otherwise I end up in the tyre wall on the left...

Haha, ouch! Yeah, try to make sure you are fully prepaired BEFORE entering a corner. Braking and shifting etc. THEN, you enter the corner.

Im confused with this car because im braking before the corner and its not like i just drop the gas off, i do have abs 1 actually i forgot about that. its just how the car isnt so much slidy as i would of expected with the tires on there as it grips like crazy at times but at times randomly decides to go. Im fine driving everyother car in the game (that i have), its for the travel challenge. Sorry i cant remember its name but you go down to italy in different supercars. So far i have loved this challenge and its been spotless but no car even the same layout has been this weird to drive. [Edit] Sum1s2pid you cant upgrade the car for this challenge. ROYALEFATALE like i said you cant upgrade anything.
 
I did this challenge earlier and got extremely frustrated with it (mainly because the F40 spun me round on two occasions on the last corner...). I'd never driven the LP640 before this, either, which didn't help. To make it a bit more bearable I used the RA menu to set traction control to 5, ASM on and the brake balance to 3/3, which basically means less braking is applied for the same amount of pedal travel. I could have done it without ASM and probably TCS too, but I didn't want to risk getting to the end then finding myself up a tree and it also meant I could focus more on the strategy and the ever darkening track, oh and the fireworks were quite distracting too. I must have tried that race 15 times before giving up and settling for the bronze, for now, life is too short to get hung up on one race!
 
I bought a used car, and had similar problems, all depends on tires, terrain, and driving style. check chasis matinence, that seemed to improve my problem.

The thread should be titled "What's wrong with me?"

Ha, funny, but you should be nicer! Most people never drive a mid or rear engined car in real life and don't understand their handling characteristics (you should see the autocross drivers who come one year in their FF Mazda whatever and then show up the next year in their MR2 or 914. Spin spin spin spin spin.....)

But to answer the OP question: It sounds to me like the Lambo is driving pretty much like it should. Once you learn to drive MR and RR cars properly you will love them. If it helps any, remember the Porsche driver's mantra: "Don't lift! Don't lift! Don't lift" (by which is meant, don't lift the right foot too much during cornering or you will spin your 911 around 180 degrees, plummet off the cliff backwards and die a fiery death.)
 
which lambo you have???
i got the same problem with the lambo chrome line.....with abs off
but once i put on ABS 1 and with some tuning... the car is a beast !

That's pretty normal. Just try to be going in a straight line when you break. If you start to get all squirrely at that spot, you can easily lose control when you hit the breaks. You can also let off the gas a little in the left hand curve before breaking for the hairpin.

You do realise that GT5 is a driving simulator and that Polyphony tried to model the handling of the Lamborghini as accurately as possible, right? Or did you buy it thinking that it would handle exactly the same as, say, a Toyota Yaris? It's a lightweight, high-powered, mid-engined, rear wheel drive Italian supercar. You simply cannot drive it the same way as you would a Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza or Nissan Skyline and expect to get the same results.
 
Neema_t thats the one! panjamdrum thanks for that, i knew about the porsche and not fully lifting off but i didnt think the mid engine cars would have the charicteristics as a car with the engine hanging over the backend. Interludes thats kinda overly agressive, i never said i expected the lambo to drive like a yaris, i just didnt expect it to drive how i does. And i doubt there are Many if any lambos near where i live and even if some where around who would let a random drive their lambo haha.
 
From my understanding I thought the Lambo was actually a very easy car to drive... until you reach about 90% then all hell brakes loose and on the limit it becomes very difficult. I know Top Gear is not the be all end all authority on car handling but still...
 
I'm having the same probs with the chrome line lambo, ease the brakes in while driving in a straight line and it throws a hissy fit. No need to qoute 'real drving sim' etc interludes at the OP, he's asking for help and so am I.

How to tame the braking?
 
Do you see your tire gauge on the lower right turn red under hard braking? lol

Buy racing slicks (medium) to help the issue.

The Chromeline Murci needs tyres. It has 600hp on S3 tyres :dopey:

I have racing soft on mine, that's nothing to do with loosing control while braking.... mine has 800 bhp but that's f all to do with braking.
 
What's wrong with the Lambo chrome? I've never even touched the settings and the car hasn't made one wrong step on me.

Go do High Speed Ring in reverse with no aids of any kind and your tyres at s3
 
Mid-engined rear-wheel cars -- MR -- tend to understeer, with less weight on the front. Hit the brake, or even lift on the gas in some places, and MR cars have a nasty habit of going into snap-oversteer. The game simulates that exactly. In addition to "doin' your braking before your steerin'", which is always good advice, use a light touch on the gas. This is easier on the controllor if you use the right toggle -- up for gas, down for brake -- as the "touch sensitive" X-button can still very much be an on-off switch. For many of the corners at Grand Valley in that license test, you will find that using a delicate touch on the gas can move the (large) rear end of that Lambo into and out of the corner, and that is the real advantage in passing the AI cars as their "drivers" are not very sensitive to the motion of their cars.
