Least favourite car?

[Tomahawk]

Ferrari 360 Modena, I find it Very hard to handle under slow speeds and twitchy under braking

[mallyauto86]

mine is the maserati and the porsche GT2 find them impossible to drive fast and a pain to setup

[lowndes888]

Gillet and Lotus, both are crappy and slow

[GEISHA]

The Lister, ugly and bulky, no fun to drive.

[Altarir]

911 GT2. I cannot see the point of this car: why is it in the GT class?! It's so slow and awful to drive, that the G2s and NGTs can overtake it (well, not on Monza, but on a track like Oschersleben it's not too difficult).

Also, the lotus is totally useless, slow, bad handling, bad looking, the only thing that it's good against is another lotus.

911 GT2 is a very outdated car with an older chassis, plus the 605hp version didn't prove very good in FIA GT whilst the less powerful 911 GT2 that raced at Le Mans scored a few class wins

You have to choose either a very fast and loose car( wing 1-3 ) which will need loads of corrections or a slower but still GT understeery car ( 2splitter 10-12 wing ) that will understeer but keep its wheels on the ground. Also the brake bias needs adjusting

This left Chrysler's Viper to become the dominating car in the series, with the aging Porsche 993 GT2 and the Lister Storm providing a certain degree of competition.

Ask Gaiajohan about driving the 993

On the contrary, the Lister is a very nimble GT car, only bad thing is the rear tyre wear(dunlops) and the least powerful GT. But on tracks like Valencia or Monaco, its quite fast

In RL FIA GT the Lister was the only car that could beat the dominating Viper GTS-Rs until the Prodrive 550 GTS Maranello came

The Modena is a bit twitchy with the default setup. You can reduce this significantly by following the instructions in the braking tutorial which I've posted.

I hate driving anything with the driving wheel on the right side. It's horrible. And I don't like the Saleen because the cockpit is so up front.

I love the Maserati, though. I drive it whenever possible. It's fast, gives good response and the default setup works fine for me. It's also relatively easy to slide intentionally. Oh yeah, it also has excellent brakes. You just have to know it inside out to be able to control it.

The M3 coz i find it so boring.

It's a reminder of the days when the current top GT class was the GT2 class back in the 1990's. The car was very much at the end of it's life when one or two entries were still hanging around in FIA GT in 2002 and a small handful of races in 2003.

For me personally I dislike the Porsche 996 GT3-RS/RSR. Could never be competitive in them...

[Robin]

I don't like the Ferrari GT Cars. Me is not a fan. Or the Seat. What crap.

I don't like the Ferrari's as it seems to be more about the car than the driver. And the Seat because it is sooo bloody boring.

I find the 993 amazing to drive. It is like a bloody work out after an hour in that car!

[burnout01]

Porsche 966 cup cars They are so slow, they nearly get beaten by the Gillet Vertigo and even the Lotus Elise!!!!

[Robin]

Not if you drive them properly

[burnout01]

Yes, slow cars are easyer to control But I like the 2006 cup car.http://www.nogripracing.com/details....699&pic=4#pics

For me the worst car in the game by a mile is the C5, what a ugly, rubbish car.
Feel free to disagree (and I'm afraid a lot of people will)

i find it wierd for you not to like the vette ok it doesnt look that good but it's a well balenced car and handles great just needs the GT engine

Wuss. :p If I can drive cars with left hand steering I'm sure you can adapt too.

It doesn't have the grunt of the other cars thats true but bad handling, have you ever driven it ? With a good set-up its probably the best handling car in game, around a circuit like Pau, Mondello or Monoco it can beat NGT cars like the Morgan and Nissan. Personally I think the S1 Lotus one of the best looking cars ever produced, but thats just me.

Worst car has to be the BMW 3ZM from the handling and performance point of view and very difficult to set up well. Worst looking, its a toss up between the Lister or Seat Toledo.

Completely disagree. Perhaps it's not beautiful looking, but not ugly. And certainly not rubbish. It's well balanced, fun to drive. The standard V8 sound might not be the best though, I switched to saleen s7 sound because it was the V8 sound I like best in GTR2.
Plus, it's always fun to challenge class GT cars with C5R.

My least favorite car is BMW M3, it's soo boring!

[Martidinho]

The cars i dont like in GTR 2 is the Lotus Elise and the Gillet Vertigo. Soooo boring to drive!
BTW i cant understand why some of you dont like the C5 :confused: IMO it's one of the best cars in the game!:p I think it looks really raaw! But i've got to agree it really does not match the GT-class cars.

I wouldn't call it ugly, I quite like the way it looks. Besides: It's a G2 car, that, when driven properly, can beat GTs. On difficult tracks it can be really good, it's just so easy to manage and well balanced. For me, the C5r is one of the best cars in the game, and certainly the best G2.

depends on the driving style, I guess: whenever I drive the lotus, I crash, besides: there's no possibility of changing the gear ratios. I'd rather drive the Z3M, it's more powerfull, and easier to control (at least for me)

No I can't! It's unnatural and satanic! It's just plain wrong!

Well, it's a matter of taste but if you ask me all V8s sound like crap. I want my engines to rev high and to sound intense, whereas the V8 sounds loose like someone put a little too small pistons in the cylinders. I want mine to sound either like a WRC car or a DTM car. Loud, tight and preferrably high tone. That's why I love the sound of the Maserati in GTR2. It sounds like it's gonna blow up any second.

[Gaiajohan]

The worst car is the F550 of course, the ultimate n00b car. It's not fun to drive at all.

For fun you should drive the 993 GT2. It handles like a beast, and it sure cannot beat any of the other GT's and the Corvette, but it's fun. Very bad fuel economy gives you no chance to win a race at all, also because of this it's diffficult to race against the 911 RSR in longer races.
How to drive a 911 GT2, you should care for the right gear ratio's, which is difficult choosing sometimes as there are only a few available. A nicely handling 911GT2 is for me 2 splitter, 9 wing. And on faster tracks 1 splitter 3 wing. Some higher rear ARB 5 or 10N. Further the best compound is medium/medium. The Dunlops a re bad tyres, and soft rear is overheating, hard rear is also overheating, this is because of sliding. medium is okay. Front: Soft for short stints, medium usually, never hard.
And yes, because of the engine in the back you need a different driving style. Some trail braking and late on throttle are the keywords. All the 911's have it, but the 911GT2 is the most difficult car to adapt in GTR2 I think. Only the 911 from GTL is trickier.

Important things a bout a 911:
Never brake in the corner, (the rear will overtake the front).
DO not throttle too much in the corner, as you'll understeer like hell, tho with a good setup (more ARB, more caster, more front camber and less front ARB, harder rear springs, softer front springs.), it's a bit cureable.


The Seat is a car from which you have to learn it's tricks when on a trickier setup. And than it's possible to get near the M3's...

I'm not good at it either, tho because of my race in the Lister at the Norisring, and some Mini races in GTL it fits me more than first

[dav_ral]

gotta say i hate the bmz z3m, its is by far the ugliest car ingame!!!! what were bmw tinking, anyway its slow, and i don't like the handling!!!!

You can left foot brake in corners with the 911 if you do it neatly. The real challenge is coming off the brake, 'cause that's when the tail really wants to go.

In the GTL 911 you can't brake in a corner. The 993 is very tricky, where the 996's are quite okay..
And yes, coming off the throttle the the real problem is 993. the GTL one already has it at braking.

[gtrNL]

Oh dear I had the idea that some people might not like my opinion about the C5, but this...

But still I find it ugly and that's just my opinion (again feel free to disagree), and I can't drive it properly.
And it's not just that I'm against American cars, I love the S7 and I like the C6 (altough not as much as I like the DBR9).

And I really like the way a Lister looks and drives.

Well in fact the Corvette C5 is quite a dull car to drive. It will speicifcally understeer, voersteer is not something standard at it. It has grip like a tank, and it steers damn well, until you pass the limit than it wil understeer, or you should have changed a lot on the setup. The C5 just isn't an exciting ride.

No, not coming off the throttle... Coming off the brake while trail braking.

I can assure you, those crawlers with 70 tonnes of weight on them grip to the mud like s**t sticks to the carpet. Extremely difficult to get stuck in one of those. But the lighter APC's are so much fun during winter on ice. Everybody can skid a car but how many of you have seen a tank in a skid? :p

[Freddyfartbox]

I love the C5R, it's a very balanced car, and it's usually easy to get it out of a slide. I'd say the worst is the Porsche Bi Turbo, what a waste of space that thing is, it's an insult to the Porsche badge.

[Kodiak]

Hate the C5 Corvette, love the 911RSR, is not SO fast but fun to drive, atleast for me

[antogoof]

i hate that saleen thing its not too bad in the corners but its so slow top end, it looks like it should be as fast as the maserati but its poo!

[Freddyfartbox]

Um the Saleen is fast.

[xxx1337]

I can only agree with Freddy

The Saleen is nearly as fast as the F550

I drove a 1:40:1xx on Monza with it - look @ hotlaps
(but this 3 tenths to the first are just a matter of time ...)
