top gear special events

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! finally got gold in the lotus top gear challenge, OMG that was so freakin hard. i did cheat a bit

some tips for those who havn't done it yet, dont always be right behind the cars, they brake too early, so if you brake later and a bit harder you will pass them. dont hit the solid orange cones, instant dnf, you can hit the orange and white ones. you CAN cut hammerhead a tiny bit, if you outbrake yourself, there are 3 solid orange cones just before you turn right, cut to the right of that, but make sure you get in line as half way around the corner there are more solid orange cones, go to the left of that and you will gain a position, albeit have a slower exit speed.

exit of the first corner on the first lap (once you have over taken the white car in 11th position), dont be right behind the car in front. hold back a bit, there will be a gap you can charge through at 100kp/h or more at the next corner, and easily gain 3 positions. take the next corner tight, follow the line painted on the road (not the racing blue/red one), it is a faster way round the corner. dont hit cars at more than 100kp/h though, or its an instant dnf. however, you can hit them below 100kp/h and you will be fine.

You are all probably aware of this, however just in case like myself you weren't, my son has just told me ge got gold in the VW Combi Van first Top Gear Challenge, and this unlocked the Top Gear Track in Arcade mode for him.

What... Took you long enough.

I thought I posted it in here somewhere...



Easiest way to do it, turn TC off and skid recovery on. The Elise handles like crap on that track, I think they put wooden tyres on it.. no grip.

as if i use assists! i cant use them, i cant bare the shame haha. try it with none on at all, see if you can get gold. HARD!!! and yes im aware of that Arckon, got gold in that one too.

Geez stumbles you make it look so easy I have been stuck on that one for days almost to the point as where I am giving up on even getting bronze.

just watched that video Stumbles, skid recovery is so hacky its not funny, you should have spun out so many times. now be a man and do it with no assists

Tried it last night. That car sucks under braking?? Might try the skid recovery assist, cause I was ready to kill someone after 10 minutes of failed attempts.

On a happier note, have finally done the first 2 licences. No super exciting cars unlocked sadly. The 6th challenge in the first licence took me the longest to get for some reason.

Hey Mcrow, I happened upon a monaro last night, are you after this one or the other commy??

B-6 was that last license I got gold too.
Now stuck on trying to get all the I-C golds. The bloody 1000M stop is driving me nuts. I'm 17 thousandths away from gold

I'll give the Lotus another go mcrow, just for you ... lol
Are you going to pay to replace the 48" Samsung when it all goes wrong???

still need help Stumble how doe's that facebook thing work do you have to be a member

Yeah Rinkly, you need a facebook account. It's free, just delete all the details after.

Elise challenge done finally. Only needed a few attempts using skid recovery, thanks for the tip on that Stumbles. Did the final kart races tonight as well. Great fun, sad there weren't more. Wish I had a few more hours up my sleeve to get into licenses & more special events.

PS for those few who haven't done it yet, the 3rd challenge is so easy it's a crime. You're in those VW kupenwhogenfucgun army trucks and as long as you don't crash or run off the course you can tick off a gold.

hahaha, the last top gear challenge is a pisser. and its super easy, gold by about 4 seconds on the first try!

YAY!!!! Just got IA-10 gold. Just gotta pick your lines through the retarded AI...lol

3 to go now... Inter C-1 and 10, Inter B- 3 (cone slalom). Spent about an hour trying to get the slalom this arvo... stupid crappy Toyoda
