Which 1960's car do you prefer and why?
I feel like Renault Alphine A110 is OP, the speed and control wins over Lania Fulvia in everyway, while Mini is somewhere in between with good control. So I'm curious if people would choose others over A110 and why.

I love all of them, to be quite honest - though I feel that the Alpine just doesn't belong there as the other two cars don't even stand a chance.
I'm using the Renault at the moment and ran through Sweden. Loved it and find the Alpine has a definite rally character. Still finding I'm looping when it comes to handbrake turns though! Lol.

Personally, I love the Alpine.

Mini: I just can't be bothered with it. It's slow even with full upgrades. Ground clearance isn't bad but it can be twitchy on bumpy roads.

Lancia Fulvia: I avoid it like the plague. It seems heavier than the Mini and takes forever to go from 1st to 2nd gear.
I do have to admit that it has that distinctive Lancia look, just like the 037, S4 or Delta Integrale.

Mini Cooper S: Cutest ever! and gave me a chance to win masters championship for the first time in DR.

I like others too.
Fulvia: My most used car in statistics till last july.
Alpine: cute too. I like this car since sega rally 2

Lancia Fulvia: I feel I have to retain my momentum since it takes years to accelerate.
Mini Cooper: Much better gear ratios, fun to drive.
Renault Alpine: The car to go for, no question. It's the only competitive car in the class.

That said, in Dirt Rally 2 the Alpine needs its own class. I believe the issue with 60s rallying is the lack of regulations, which means that some cars are much more competent than others. I believe the Alpine is essentially a top of the line '60s rally car, while the other two aren't.

Alpine because RWD.

Fulvia was my choice when I started playing Dirt Rally, mainly because its steering wheel is on the left as I used to. I drove all stages in it, and got all Delta Time achievements. Alpine was not in the game yet, Mini was reserved for future due to specific achievement.

RWD made it the only choice for me.

The Alpine by far. It's stupidly OP for its class, and drives very nicely on all stages. It has a very smooth ride compared to most cars in the game, and this is especially apparent in Finland. I also find it's very easy to tune to get it to behave how I want for each stage. My second choice would be the Fulvia, simply because the Mini is just awful all round. It has terrible gears, underpowered and gets knocked about quite a lot, and isn't even that easy to control.

Alpine is the only worthwile 60s cars imo. The whole class is quite poorly balanced, no other class has one standout car like that, and they shouldn't since every car should be a viable option. The Mini and Fulvia just seem very bland and boring cars, like their only purpose is to be a stepping stone for new players to learn the basics before moving to a "real" rally car. All other rally cars have their own charm and are challenging in their own way, but those two are just meh.

But dont you just enjoy ragging the buggery oout of a Mini, especially downhill! All it needs is another gear!

Sadly very few people enjoy this. The Mini cannot match the Alpine, so they don't consider it worth the trouble. I for one adore it.

Before the Alpine was added, I enjoyed driving the Mini to some degree. After the Alpine was added, I couldn't even select it, let alone drive it, because it sucks.

The Mini Cooper of course.

Because I'm English, and it's a Mini Cooper.... of course

Also, it's a PROPER Mini Cooper, not a crappy BMW knock-off.
