Well, for a change I’d say that I don’t trust FM7 no more. I drove Fairlady Z in FM7 and it’s totally not the car I know. I own '06 350Z and they’re totally different cars in game vs. real life. So disappointed
The 84’ Honda Mugen is really fun to drive. Not sure if anyone’s tried it but the One:1 is WAY easier to handle in this game than in any other previous.
The Zonda Cinque. 1st Zonda that hasn’t had psychotic wheel spin since FM 4. Also just tried that Bently concept and was astonished at how well it handled.
The Ferrari FF in exotic GT is a beast. Think it surprises the Aston Martin’s as much as it surprised me.
Also shout out to the 90’s Renault Alpine in A class. I was expecting it to be a lairy rear engine mess that would catch me out at any moment yet it handles a dream and accelerates out of corners so good.
How are u building/gearing it ? AWD or RWD ? Spent hours tuning it for Driver’s cup, then gave up and tried the aston martin with about same tune. Got thru races on 1st attempt after failing 4-5 times with the FF OR F12tdf
I’ve built it with AWD. I use it mostly in the Exotic GT hoppers. It’s better on tracks that require acceleration out of slow corners. I’ve shared my tune if you wanna try it out.
Holden muscle cars. Actually drive really nice without race bits. I don’t normally like muscle cars but Holdens just drive so well I can’t help but like them.
Lambo GT. That things on rails, its nuts! Only a shame its not the fastest in a straight line, or it would monster every track.
Arbath 131. Thought it was going to be kinda weak, turned out to be bloody quick in twisty tracks
Ford Capri (street & classic GT). Used to be a bit of a “joke” car, like the poor mans jag. The GT is mega, and the road car aint half bad either once tuned a bit.
For me, the Fiesta ST when it is swapped to RWD and setup up for its division. It manages to keep up and often outpace those damn Clios online, and is such a lot of fun to drive both with controller and wheel.
Bugatti Veyron with assists off. It surprised me that I won the race on her maiden voyage although I have put it down to the fact it is hard for the other cars to pass when you are sideways most of the race. I will live in this car for a while.
Watkins Glen, I mopped the floor with them and I think they are just finishing up now. However, I went to Spa to really show them how it was done and of a field of 24 cars, I don’t believe one of us stayed on the track. Every corner I went around there was a car or two heading into the dirt or into a wall or recovering from a mishap. In all the races I have had I only seen similar once before and that was Mercedes trucks on Virginia where on one corner a new truck was piled up there each lap like they didn’t know what to do or was hit by the next truck while trying to get out.
That low-numbered 1.5m Cr 250LM I was gonna save with zero mileage for auction…I drove it today. Wow, what a fantastic little car. So well balanced, dances around perfectly. And here I was, thinking I’d already found the perfect classic Ferrari in the 250GTO. After a little basic tuning to deal with the excessive body-roll, I never expected it to be that good! Sure it’s not a real leaderboard stormer (mine needs more power, but I’d have to sacrifice handling and gearbox to do it), but it’s great fun!
I doubt there’s much difference between them, but the Honda IndyCar is a pretty big surprise. I usually hate driving the fast formula cars but this one is pretty great. Fun car to run longer races in to generate credits.
The Lykan Hypersport. It was a terrible mess in FH3 and no fun at all. So I didn’t expect much this time around. But I finally came up with a R900 tune without aero-attachments that drives extremely smooth while being fast as hell. It demolished my previous Hypercar Nordschleife record time by more than 3 seconds. And without the stupid front and rear aero it looks as gorgeous as it was designed to.
