Been playing FM5 for the past 3 weeks now and have acquired a one or two cars in each class that are relatively competitive, however not as many as I'd like to have. Any suggestions for cars in a class? Whats your favorite and why?
 
In Production Rally I'm quite fond of the Lancia 037 Stradale's handling and speed. I haven't used any of the Lancers yet though.

Talking of Mitsubishis the Eclipse GSX is my go-to car for Early Sport Compact races. Similarly with the Lambo Countach in Exotic/Timeless Supercar. They both have speed and handling characteristics far in excess of the average car in those races. They've all been modified with tunes though. Hope this helps.
 
I only drive a few classes often enough to give a favourite or where I can judge how competitive they are.

In D class my favourite car has to be the BMW 2002 Turbo, I'm using a tune (will check later who from) which can hold its own on any track apart from maybe Le Mans/Indy Oval. The handling of this car is incredible and unless you're actively trying to it's quite hard to slide.

C class I mostly use the 1970 Camaro, it has good acceleration and speed, the handling isn't perfect but still good enough so you don't get completely left behind.

Jumping to R class I use two cars (both DLC), the BMW M3 Race Car which I find is good for higher speed tracks, I've tried tuning it myself and I can't get it to grip enough out of slow corners so when a track full of slow-medium speed corners comes up I use the Mazda USF2000 as it's easy to chuck into them and accelerate out with minimum wheelspin. In overall pace I don't think these two are competitive with the top cars in R class but with a good driver behind the wheel you can certainly give them a run for their money.
