[OzHighOctane]

Hi all,

Mate and I are driving a 458 Speciale for two days, just looking for any tips on best settings and anything to be wary of?

Cheers,
Lloyd

Schools out!

Right to go, left to slow. If you can't remember the left and the right, hold your hands up in front of your face and extend your index finger and thumb. The left one is the one where the finger and thumb make an L shape.

But that would mean letting go of the steering wheel.

If you put it into race mode then it allows you to drift around most corners without any risk of spinning out.

Oh and if you just want to drive really fast without the car sliding around at all then turn off controlled slide turns 'CST OFF' on the steering wheel

If you drive at less than 60MPH the car stalls.

Locate the fire extinguisher button first.

Make sure you give the Xbox plenty of ventilation, and remember to take a break every hour. As for settings, I find using the controller shoulder buttons for throttle very rewarding.

Not only that, but the only time they really need to know which pedal is the left one is when they are trying to slow down for a coroner... er, corner.

Everyone is so quick to jump.

aw fuk.. They actually have one in stock too.

However, rent on its own for a couple of days from most places you are looking at a good £3000 minimum!

Between him and his friend £1500 each for a weekend to maybe have a once in a lifetime chance of driving a Ferrari.


Look even further back and he was looking a Rs3 lease deals and Golf R deals.
Does seem real and not a kid unlike everyone here shouts.

My guess is closer to 5k for the whole trip with the hope they will get the 10k deposit back

Don't fking crash it!

[Sump]

Cash for crash scams. People think you will have cash to pay them to go away.

Be prepared to be put in very awkward positions around you as people try to take pictures etc, especially on the motorway. People don't realise they a trapping you in on lane 2 as they hover in lane 3 next to you.

[Jezzerh]

Press A to speed up, X to slow down. The back button changes your camera view. Are you driving it in Forza or Gran Turismo?

[ging84]

avoid filling it up with diesel

[tleefox]

I've always found with any at its best to make sure there is petrol in it - does that help?
