TN Eagle's A Class Lotus 2-Eleven (NO Drag Tires)

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the support on the 33 Stradale! Over 1,000 uses and counting on that one.

This week I am bringing to you another A Class car that will surprise many of you. The 2-Eleven and the X-bow are 2 of the many cars that have abused the drag tire exploit in FM5. Well, this beauty doesn’t need drag tires! This car will of course not beat the X-Bow’s or even the F50 on some tracks but you can run it anywhere and keep up…and if the Xbow-F50 user isn’t that great, they are toast! Not only that, you can run it in lobbies and not get a lot of griping lol. Some times run in the car are below:

The ranking in parenthesis is the Hard-Core (No Assists) ranking.

Road Atlanta Club #35 (#5) 55.909 #21 55.40 l 40oz Method l
Catalunya GP #42 (#10) 1:50.598
Catalunya Nat #27 (#3) 1:13.750
Top Gear Full #35 (#5) 1:10.320 #21 1:09.5 l 40oz Method l
Prague Short #39 (#7) 57.482
Bernese Alps:
Full #39 (#12) 1:43.952 Clay in LA
Stadtplatz #43 (#18) 1:25.313
Club #32 (#5) 1:17.980
Full Reverse #27 (#7) 1:45.397 Clay in LA
Club Reverse #26 (#3) 1:18.407

This car takes a little getting used to imo. It has some twitch to it that can lead to oversteer sliding until you’re comfortable with it. Any feedback is appreciated!!

Nice, will grab this now!

Just grabbed myself this car, does take some getting used to, a little to much oversteer for me but not to much to be uncontrolable. A fun car to drive

Thanks for giving it a go, it definitely has more OS than I usually put in my cars but it seems to work well on this car on some tracks!

Your welcome, I’ve been trying to find an A class car that I can run quicker than my Caterham at Yas Marina Full, your Lotus has come closest. I’m going to try it at some of the circuits that you’ve run at and see how I get on.

Hey Eagle, I have yet to even bother with the 211. Ill grab yours tonight give her a spin and report back.

This bad boy is a beauty! Very easy to drive, the harder its pushed the better it got. Nice work

Got her to 55.4 on Road Atl club #21 Had a dirty 55.2 twice a perfect lap would crack a 54 I think. Gearing on that track was a tad long is all.

and

1.09.5 on Top Gear full. #21 again, It really shines here. Just full gas coming out of the slow turns and holds on tight. The Xbow just has more accell otherwise this would be the money car here.

Think they are #3 and #2 on hardcore.

Nice! Thanks for running it 40, I’ll have to mess with some other builds, the gears are stock in this one. Awesome times, I’ll update the OP.

No prob, figured about the gears, that was the only track it seemed a bit shorted would help, everywhere else it was fine.

I know this is kinda off topic, but I was wondering what the “drag tire exploit” actually is, I only really do C class so I haven’t had a run in with it.

I ran this on Atlanta club and posted a PB, it took a few laps to get there and the OS was definitely causing me a problem, that would be my only criticism of it, will try it at a few more tracks tonight

Are you using any assists? Not sure if the OS would be an issue with any of them on or not. It was tuned and run with no assists.
