Strictly with no assists, since pretty much every car is somewhat driveable with assists on.
For me its the Jag D type 1956. I spent so much money on that car just to do one event on career and it handles like ass. Wheelspin for days, even on very slight bends and not even full throttle, brake distance of 3 miles, just awful. Cant tune it out either, dropped rear pressures abit, dropped ride height, softened rear suspension so the tyres bury into the road but makes no difference.
That’s because it’s built down the road from me in Hinckley, Leicestershire!! But you are right it is a real handful as a car with that much power and only rear wheel drive should be! Unless of course you are the top 0.1%
Wow small world, second reply in and its from a guy who lives probably within 10 miles of me, I live a 10 min drive from Hinckley! I did my motorbike lessons there lol
Leicester is a bit of a low key hub for supercar manufacture. Noble are there too.
Presumably it’s to get out of Leicester faster.
Anyway, cars like the Ultima require you to use the secret feature where you don’t squeeze the trigger/pedal all the way quickly when you’re accelerating. Squeeze slowly out of corners and upshift early and you are far less likely to end up backwards in a hedge.
Please, the Ultima is lovely to drive compared to the Nissan GTR Forza Edition, which has a absurde turning radius.
The Jaguar TypeD’s only real use is achieving the game’s top speed. Altough I seen people on the 1-10 leaderboard achieving records in that thing.
The GTR FE is drivable if You fiddle with it a bit, and get it in agressive mode = sliding into corners I’ve even put a tune setup online for this. It’s a bit of getting used to, but it’s managable
Which porsche was used for the last spec league again ? That thing was one slippery piece of garbage, drove like it was iceskating. Another terrible ride is the caterham as well as each and every car in the rally classes. While the caterham is still breaking out every chance it gets even if you put assists on, the group rally and rally heroes cars have massive understeer.
And of course the buggies, omg how i hate those things.
This car is fast but does not have the same level of downforce as a 650S, so it will never corner as good. I don’t even remember if it has an active rear spoiler, in fact.
911 will understeer. Lift for oversteer behavior. Use with moderation.
I can´t remeber which one exactly it was, but all of the Off-Road/Ice Trucks feel like Ice-skating to me.
No Clue which sense they should have on Tarmac-Race tracks.
Well, not until we must jump over Sanddunes in a modern F1 Car
Agreed. I also don’t think it’s just about “driving style”. The Porsches in the game are extremely rear heavy and prone to spinning out. They also understeer like pigs until they don’t, when the spin out.
Yes, I understand rear-engined cars react somewhat this way, but IRL, if top of the line Porsches (gt3, etc) actively killed every single driver they wouldn’t be so popular. The game overdoes it to make a point.
That Renault F1 car. Couldn’t keep it on the road. Eventually got sick of trying and turned the assists on Super Easy just to get the career series out of the way. The “assists” (read: autopilot) had trouble keeping it on the road, too, and almost lost to New Racer AI a couple of times.
I use the F1 car to grind out credits all the time. I’ve done probably 500 laps of Watkins Glenn Alt Short with it. I adjusted it so the front end isn’t so pointy, basically just added some understeer. As long as you leave the traction control on it’s actually really easy to drive around that track (it helps that there aren’t any slow corners). I mean, so easy that I’m half watching a show on the second monitor. With some good mod cards you can rake in about 375k in 20min (25 laps). Especially since the AI is really slow in F1 cars around that track so you can turn up the drivatar difficulty (I use unbeatable and still lap the whole field).
One of the JGTC500 cars. Can’t remember which one. Accelerated like a Yugo until it hit boost, then did its best Tasmanian Devil impression and invariably spun me into the kitty litter and/or a wall. I can put up with high power-to-traction ratios when the power delivery is nice and linear (I actually enjoy the OP’s Jag D-Type, among others), but those small engine/big turbo, nothing-nothing-nothing-ALLTHEPOWERNOW cars are nightmares to drive smoothly.
I’ve even put a tune setup online for this. It’s a bit of getting used to, but it’s managable
