What car should i get after the '60s Mini?

[stevia boy]

Got about 200k after doing 2 championships, i think RWD would be impossible for me to drive since i cant throttle manage cause im playing with a controller.

You could try to get the Renault 5 Turbo ('80s car), it's a RWD but in fact it feels a lot like like a AWD due to having the engine at the middle and the big rear tires. As a payoff It's pretty bad at sharp corners though.
The '70s Lancia Stratos is a lot of fun though (It's definitely possible with a controller) , give it a test drive if you feel like it and decide for yourself. The only map it really struggles with is Sweden, you really need to watch your throttle there.

I restarted this game 3 times, because when I switched from Linux [after getting all (3) 1960's cars] to Windows, the incompatible cloud files erased everything (but my achievements), and then back to Linux, erased Windows progress. So third time I went from Mini Cooper to Fiat Abarth to BMW M3 and each felt just better and better. Then wait until you get to the four wheel drives.

Sometimes you figure out little tweaks with the cars that improve handling or in the case of the Mini Cooper in Germany (during 3rd restart from scratch), when I got the 2 seconds at redline in high gear achievement during a shakedown run, realized that I needed a little taller gearing for that track for more top speed, and snatched 1st place (just Open class, but it was a start). Or when the tail felt a little loose with the BMW M3 in those German 6's, I softened the rear swaybar for a little better stability. Or for other tracks where turning in for hairpins is difficult, maybe soften front swaybar and/or tighten rear swaybar. When I ran the Group A 2007 Focus in Germany I stiffened front and rear springs and softened rear swaybar. Experiment to see what helps, or not.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell what is better because some cars may excel when you need to turn and some more stable in fast sweepers. I test drove both of the Group B RWD cars in a specific Custom Event in Greece, one felt pretty hooked up and the other felt very loose, but my times for both were amazingly close.

Note that you can run new cars you buy in a Custom Championship to get experience, upgrades, and credits before running the main championships. Or you can test drive fully upgraded cars you do not own in Custom Events (nothing gained, nothing lost).

PS: After you get experience the Mini will seem slow without taller gearing.

Asking cause on my previous profile i bought a RWD Group B car after the mini, i was able to come 2st on a stage at Wales but by the end of the run i was sweating balls.

Pick a car you would like to drive. Can't do it in real life, might as well do it here.
