Really I'd like try winning with a Fiat 500. But they are hard to come by, I'm gonna win one when I win the Italia race, I haven't done it yet.

i'm on 13 or 14 in ASpec and 0 on BSPec. waiting to get higher in levels to take the last set of test.
after a lot of tries, i got gold in the Lotus challenge. after the first corner i got up to 10th. i'll tap my brakes early and then get back on the gas after the cars in 11th and 10th moves to the right for their lines to the first corner. pass 11th, and bump 10th on the side for a tighter line into the first turn. then i'll run straight and hit the 3 cones at the entry of chicago passing the cars on the right side and brake to make it so i'll be to the left of the tires at the end of chicago. should be in 7th or 8th. brake a little before the 50 (i have driving line off, so i don't know where it suggests to brake) and stay right to entry of hammerhead. should be in 4th or 5th after hammerhead. slow down a bit for follow through and should be in 4th by the end of the first lap and repeat 2nd lap. i got into first at Gambon on the last lap. hope it helps, and you know the saying slower is faster. which is true with the Lotus on horrible tires.

You can borrow mine if you want.
I've been trying to find a used one with no luck. But I just got my collector's edition and it appears there is a voucher for 5 cars, one of which is a 300sl. Looks like I have my car for the classic euro races. 
I thought the Lotus challenge was far easier than VW Bus one. I was in 5th place by the follow through, second by the end of the first lap and was in first going through Chicago. I did turn the SRF on mild and with abs. It still was difficult to control, but I got a handle on it faster than the Bus. The faster the car, the easier it was to get it into a position to advance positions.
I'm currently a level 19, half way to 20. I just finished getting Gold in the B and A license test last night. I found the A license far easier to get Gold. Some of the races I got gold on the first try.

I haven't even used mine yet. Funny is I have the Mac F1 for pre ordering, I also get 5 other cars for buying the collector's edition. Since it took 4 days to get my CE, I bought the other copy. Just sold it today to a coworker, he paid full price.
