What car to choose?

That is a good question, but also a bad question at the same time up to some degree. Why? Pretty simple, not all cars handle the same way, and while its a good idea to try to avoid the worst cars, simply because using cars that barely accelerate and handle properly can really hamper your experience overall, but at the same time picking the most overpowered cars just because they're the best even though your driving skills are bad, you are not really going to get any good time splits any time soon, so our personal opinion on the matter is to simply pick a car you feel comfortable with. Although it is a good idea to pick a car and grind points with just that one car, changing the car you're using is a good way to break with the eventual monotony of using the same car over and over again.

Regardless of what we said above, if you would still like to know an overall grasp of how the cars perform in this game, read the text that follows and then try to decide for yourself what car would you like to choose.


Drivetrains

The game has 4 possible drivetrains to use, and all of them make the car's behaviour in every aspect very different in comparison to other cars with different drivetrains.

Even though this game does not feature realistic handling, it's important to understand these points that we're going to showcase here since those are the ones that matter the most just for playing this game:


Front engine/Rear Wheelwheel Drivedrive (FR)
  • Key points:
    • Control over top speed
  • Advantatges:
    • Manageable maneuverability in cornescorners
  • Disadvantatges:
    • ManageableProne maneuverabilityto sliding outwards while cornering in corneswet conditions

FR 

Front engine/Front wheel drive (FF)
  • Key points:
    • Great stability
  • Advantatges:
    • Great acceleration after exiting corners
  • Disadvantatges:
    • Noticeable understeer


Mid engine/Rear wheel drive (MR)
  • Key points:
    • Countersteering is mandatory for the usage of these cars
  • Advantatges:
    • Lightweight cars, so their overall manuevaribility is very good
  • Disadvantatges:
    • Most oversteer-y cars tendin tothe favorentire controlgame

    • corners. What that means 
    is that if you're proficient with cornering, you're awarded with 
    higher acceleration at a corner's exit as well as higher speeds in top 
    gear. However, if you're unable to harness your car's abilities (aka 
    sloppy driving), your overall speed will suffer. Note that in rainy 
    conditions FR cars slide outward while cornering, some worse than 
    others. So, keep that in mind if you plan on focusing on Wet Courses.
