Top Gear Lotus Elise From Hell

Anyone have some tips for this challenge...I can't get around the first corner

even with all assists maxed i still lose it, let me know if it is just me.

Well, all assists won't help you. Traction Control maxxed out will just bog you down.

I did it with TC off, and skid recovery on. ABS was set to 1, everything else was off.

There a youtube vid of my lap here somewhere...

Have a look at that and see how you go. Still not easy, but do-able.

Are you after gold or just a bronze? I have yet to do it but was like you when I first tried it, couldn't get to the fist corner it has taken me hours of attempts and have got to a 6th.(need 5th for a bronze) Just keep trying you will eventually get there. On that first corner brake really early and just feather the accelerator. You can do it as I know I can.

The other trick on the first corner is to not be too wide or turning when you start to hit the brakes. Keep it pointed forward and turn once you wiped off a bit of speed. I was blipping the throttle a bit on downshift to try and keep it steady as well. I ran as per Stumbles, TCS off and skid recovery on.

I wouldn't spend hours at a time on it. Have a few goes and walk away, nearly broke a TV with that challenge.

Thanks for the help, will give it a shot.

Keep trying mate I finally got myself a bronze this afternoon.
