The Cayman GT4 in GT7 is just sublime. Pointy, but with great mid-corner stability.

Whatever the car in Distance is called

Any AWD Lambo in Gran Turismo. Especially after getting used to powerful RWD supercars.

With FWD cars you start out with, you can pretty much go from full throttle to threshold braking back to full throttle as aggressively as you want while taking turns. As long as your speed is low enough to go around a corner, you'll make it and if you make a mistake, you have a chance at recovery.

With RWD, you've gotta be super careful with the throttle on turns. If you try the instantly apply full throttle approach, you'll end up spinning out when the rear tires (that provide stability) lose traction. A lot of the videos of people fucking up their supercar are instances of being too aggressive on the throttle when they weren't going perfectly straight. I'm not sure how accurate Gran Turismo is for this, but you can give it full throttle while cornering, but you have to ease into it slowly. You don't have much opportunity for correction, though with careful throttle control you can sometimes turn it into a drift, though that usually doesn't work out unless you plan on drifting going in to the turn.

With AWD, just point the tires in the direction you want to go in and give it full throttle. Start losing traction? Try more throttle. It was a fun moment discovering this, after being used to the RWD approach. Might need to max out your tires and tune your suspension for stability to get these results, though. Just angle the tires outwards a bit for camber, go as low as you can without seeing sparks, and add some downforce on the front and back and it feels a bit like an F1 car.

Though the actual F1 cars they have are pretty awesome, too. A step closer to the arcade style racing where you didn't need to learn the brake button.

Some of those cars really made me appreciate the analogue face buttons on the PS2 controller.

I spent hours tearing that thing around the Seattle Circuit.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Laguna Seca was my favourite.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

The last corner always caught me out. I think I took longer to get used to that than I did the corkscrew.

Hirochi Sunburst in beamng

Even more fun with nitro

TVR Speed 12. Any game it's in. Impossible to drive, but when you sort out the handling setup, it is almost unstoppable.

[-] delitomatoes@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

I remember trying out the regular card in GT and found the Audi TT enjoyable to drive.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Winning Mazda RX8 pink slip in NFS:MW was a turning point and a good memory from games. Guess that's my favourite car

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast - any of the cars cause that game was just plain fun.

[-] Tropper@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nissan GTR in Need for Speed ProStreet stands out to me. I loved driving that car. It had a good top speed and the grip was amazing, IIRC.

[-] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I have recently got into sum racing, and have been having a bunch of fun in the Honda NSX Evo in Assetto Corsa Competizione. It is an absolute death trap and tries to murder me on every corner,, but it is very good fun.

I have also had a lot of fun in the Nissan GTR as well, but not spent too much time in it.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 1 points 3 weeks ago

I have loved the NSX in every sim I've driven it in. It has never been the car I'm fastest in, but it's always the one I have the most fun in

I haven't tried ACC, but I do have the original AC and a JGTC modpack in it
