New Year Holiday Challenge: Lancia STRATOS '73 Overtake Challenge

[Gasolina]

Hate the track (in all it's forms) but love the Stratos and this seasonal. 20-30 attempts. First decent run was almost a silver... Eventually golded easily.
This one is all about nailing everything up to the hairpin - get those first chicanes right and clear the Datsun 1600 I went left) and get a clean one at the hairpin on the alpine.
Less TCS the better, you need the drive out of the corners that TCS limits.

The Stratos does rock, and I'm glad I took the time to gold this one. 1.4 mil plus a great free car. It took me probably a good hour and a half total to get it, a good challenge, but not nearly as nitpicky and frustrating as the one for the Jag.

Why do you say that? Are you saying bricks and rumble strips are out of bounds in real life?

No just having a hard time getting gold unless I dip a few tires in the right spot. I just rather stay on the road. Of course the curbs are there for a reason.

There is nothing wrong with the line that's being used by the top guys. Curbs are part of the track and as long as you have two tires on the track (curbs included) there is nothing wrong with maximizing the track surface to get the best time that you can. No one is out right cutting corners or otherwise cheating so I fail to see what the issue is. And yes, I know that in real life not all racing sanctioning bodies follow these boundaries but you have to remember, this is a game, not real life. Either quit complaining and adapt to the situation or simply don't participate.

Oh. I was just trying to have a civil discussion about my opinion. Guess you needed to teach me a lesson instead. I was just stating most of these challenges I find myself having to dip tires off the road to get gold. Not complaining, just stating. I'll stop bothering you guys though.

Funny how different driving styles (or levels ... ) require different solutions:

Also did 20-30 attempts and could not get the gold. Always ruining it in the downhill section. Then tried TCS=2 instead of the usual 0, and it worked
