Between chicago and hammerhead you need to draft on the straight-away and then switch to the inside to pass someone. Then as you come to the turn, brake a bit late, holding the inside line and you should pass a couple people during the turn. You must draft for as much of the race as possible, as all the cars have the same top speed.

Keep close to them, Then when you can get enough speed up over take 1 or 2.
Remember it's not just one lap, Take your time and go for it.

Remember, You don't have to go flying past them on the first lap.. You have 3 !

The first 1 in that event is quite easy compared to the second 1, when you get to the second 1 make sure you put on Active Steering, it reduces the Lotus's understeer. And put on Skid Recovery Force too.

Everything they said plus You must carry as much corner speed as the tyres will allow, do not hit anybody, you must make clean overtakes, late braking is a must but it's hard to brake late and not brake to much, keep an eye on the speedo when braking

Good luck it took me a lot of tries

p.s don't drive any faster cars in between tries it puts you off.

The last two corners are key in this race. You can overtake 2-3 vans on them alone per lap! I got gold by drafting for the majority of the race and then braking very late for the last two turns.

Give it a shot!

I am error
brake only on Chicago, hammerhead, and the last one for the first lap, I suggest just decelerating on the last lap around the corners I didn't say to brake on, also on the first corner when you start if your at a reasonable speed, you can bump them out of the way, draft as much as possible, and try to overtake on the inside.
