Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

I have gold on this!

It's a mistake to use your brakes too much, just taking your foot off the accelerator is enough, and will allow you to overtake the competition.

Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

My biggest gripe with this race is when one of the other vans "sticks" to yours dragging back with it as it tries to turn into your path.  Darned annoying!

Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

I had an annoying problem on this. Three vans decided to go round the track side-by-side at the same point making overtaking impossible, except when I used stupidly late breaking.

I've not had a problem with this, it's the Lotus event that's the problem... Late braking for the sambabuses.... Snow tyres for the Lotus? It's like they're on ice...

Up the traction control to 7 helped me.

Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

The only way I got gold on the Lotus even was putting TC to 5 and turning on skid control :'(
It gets worse, the final TG event is in the WW2 armoured car which have a top speed of 50. Not hard but well dull.

Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

You're not wrong there this took me forever and a lot of swearing. I think it actually took me around 2 hours with no assists.

But then harder again is in the GT Tour the 3rd one when you drive the lambo at night it slides out so easy and you cant see where you're going.

I did the GT Tour 1st time with no hassle, i can handle cars that do 200mph and slide like a beaaatch covered in baby oil but i cannot for the life of me handle a car that has a top speed of 60mph like the samba bus or the kubelwagon.

Re: Top Gear Track VW Samba Bus race

I got gold, just try not to hit opponents and, cut a corner a bit in hammerhead and in last 2 corners take a inside line and brake late.
