Pros and cons of each car?

[DOS32]

Has anybody written a guide to which cars are better in certain areas?

I think my fav so far is the AMG and the GTR 2018 as they feel really balanced. I enjoy the Lexus sometimes also but saw somebody said it wasnt very good for some reason.

This is an interesting post on the BOP of each car/track.

Thats far from a definitive discussion and the data doesnt exactly match the times I have seen from many cars. The laptimes overall are quite slow so it shows the people giving data arent close to getting most of these near their limits. If your dping a comparison on first run in each car with default setup then it may have data to reflect that.

But spend some time with any car and you can easily beat those times and the cars at the top at certain tracks are qjite different to what their data suggests. Overall its pretty close between most cars but some may have a better default set and also may suit some peoples driving style more then others.

I prefer the Porsche, its rarely the fastest at any track but overall reasonably competitive. Its great in cornering but usually down on top speed to most cars, if you want a car thats a fun challenge and can find your speed arpund the track not purely in a straight line then its a good choice.

Also now with tyre wear being more of an issue the BOP in a longer race run may turn the tables around a bit. A car like the merc can be very fast over a single lap at any track but uses lots of fuel so will start heavier and may even need to fuel save in 1hr stints or races.

Pretty much choose your prefered base handling, front, mid or rear engine. Then take it from there, running a full season using all tracks with fixed car choice as we do in our league mames things interesting.

But even here the driver is more then the car choice, our fastest alien rand the 720s last season and dominated. Now he has the Nissan GTR and is doing much the same, our race pace is generally much faster then in their data and single lap.pace is way above for the top guys in all the cars.

If ypu have the quickest guys in the quickest car in a certain combo they will be very hard to beat. But its very rare one car is overall best at too many tracks so it evens out over a season. Nearly all current gt3 cars are within .5 of ultimate single lap pace at all tracks and longer races brings most even closer.

Yeh I think I will stick with the AMG or GTR19 as I find these most fun. If im going to be slow, I will be slow in cars I like.

Lexus sounds sweet! But I'm slower in it.

Yeh, I enjoy the sounds of the Lexus

Porsche is the only decent car in the game. Others cars are ugly and slow

Generally the problem I see (not doing any league, so just public lobbies): nearly every race is more like rallycross than like a traditional GT race: stints are too short. So people tend to compare cars just by hotlap times.

Look in your stats and you know the fastest cars per track, if that is not enough, you can use Motec data, Everyone has his own favorites

It just doesn't want to be driven by noobs

Yeah, the AMG is my primary car, I'm fastest in that car hands down. Recently I've decided to give it a rest and run the BMW, a car that has grown on me lately. I like its stability and handling capabilities, not to mention its top-end speed... I'm a full second slower in it compared to the AMG but I'm still winning races with it. tried the newest Porche it handles well but lacks in top-end speed. Raced the new Aston Martin for the 1st time at Spa, finished 3rd doing consistent 2:20's cool car as well. just a few tweaks and I will be doing consistent 2:19's...

I said “interesting” not “definitive” and neither did redlinemotorsport who are well respected.

I drive the Lambo EVO generally and for a standard aggressive setup I’d say they were pretty good times.

The idea of the article is just to give a general feeling about the cars across tracks and their relative pace, not their ultimate pace. Most people don’t tune setups massively so I think for those it is very useful.

Obviously as it says some people just suit some cars.

No, no,no, I said DOESN'T, not does
Learn to read buddy, then after a while maybe try at driving
