Ford GT is the worst car in this game

This car is so easy to drive. It's funny the comments hating on it. Throw some Sport Softs on it if you have trouble, and don't do anything to it at all. Don't even oil change it. Just throw on some sport soft tires, and go racing. Don't carry too much speed in the corners. That's the only thing you have to worry about. You can halfway accelerate through the corners, then once you are more than halfway through the corner, just keep the car pointed in the direction you want to go and mash the gas. It'll stick, trust me.
 
I was first on the fourth lap by just using sports soft tires. I actually enjoy this car, I feel its a lot easier to drive than it was in gt5p. It was a real handful there (and the test car was totally undrivable ).

I will agree that the Ford GT sucks, for some reason. the balance is terrible. but it is capable of winning in stock form. also, the Ferrari Enzo is surprisingly trash in GT5, too. but the japanese made NSX handles like a dream....hmm......*strokes beard*

Wasn't the Enzo's exterior designed by a Japanese dude? So if PD were that dastardly to do that, then I would have no faith in them or in Kaz.
 
Ford GT sucks? Balance is terrible? Understeers heavily? You guys OBVIOUSLY have no freakin' clue what you're talking about. It's one of the fastest cars in the game if driven well. If you can't handle it's brute force on the rear wheels, it's because you're probably spoiled with 4WD's like the Nissan GTR.

Learn the car and appreciate it, you'll see it's pretty awesome!
 
Its very hard to catch the cietza with a stock car and sports hard on this challange in seasonals 4 but im sure some people out there could manage it

I changed tyre to either sports medium or softs and won reasonably comfortable.

First lap is quite tough because the tyres are cold but by lap 2 the tyres have temperature and the car feels quite good.

The problem that some people have is that they drive everything with racing softs so when they have to use sports or comfort tyres there unable to adapt and just blame the car.

I actually quite like the gt40 and have 4 different varietys in my garage

I never would have chosen the words the OP used. But, in my case, it is the car. Which is perfectly ok, being 1000 to chose from, there are some which simply don't suit every taste or driving style.

And I do make a point of running the cars as stock as I can, including gradual tyre upgrades only and staying in the sports category (except racing cars of course).
 
Don't want to be rude, but if I have a problem with a car (or anything in that matter), I would first look for the problem in my driving (or myself in that matter), not shout so extreme statements and jumt to harsh conclusions.

Ford GT is a great supercar if you can mater it. It's not even that difficult to drive. You just need some skill and respect.
And the racing LM versions of the Ford GT are sublime!

Probably partially the track, too, as Trial Mountain Reverse has a lot of tight uphill corners, which tend to exaggerate understeer.

That's a really good point. Trial Mountain has a lot of spots where the car will get 'light' in the middle of a corner. Getting light exaggerates the car's tendencies, whether it's to understeer or oversteer.

A driver's first time in a high-powered car at Trial Mountain could have a lot of nasty surprises, and the driver would probably think that the car is crap.

For the OP, try lifting the throttle a bit just as you're about to crest each hill. Your suspension needs to settle briefly after the crest, then throttle on.
 
Its not the worst car in the game, that VW thing you drive in one of the Top Gear challenges that you actually win, is the worst. the GT is not that hard to drive, just turn the driving aids off and leave abs on 1 and it works just grips to the track fine

To be honest I found the car more tame than it was in GT5:P. It wouldn't power oversteer unless you were deliberately trying to provoke it.

I gave it a try last night stock and came 4th'ish. My lap times were fairly consistent, couldn't see a massive room for improvement so I did the oil, air filter and put sport soft tyres on, was in first half way round the last lap and won by about 6 seconds.

I can definitely imagine it's possible in stock with a wheel and the perfect racing lines.
 
I tried this challenge once with the car entirely stock (no aids) and finished in 4th. Did an oil change and put on Sport Soft Tires. Messed up a few times in the race and finished 3rd, about 0.5 seconds behind the winner. Tried a 3rd time without changing anything else on the car and took the lead on the 2nd to last lap.

I'd imagine sport medium tires and no oil change would still be pretty doable.

(btw I use the DS3)
 
Personally since I was feeling lazy (and only had the money for a GT, no mods) I did it 100% stock, first trying it without skid recovery (bit too slow) then throwing SRF on and won by a landslide. Car really isn't bad to drive; it's reasonably stable, can hold reasonable speeds through corners, and is very, very strong at exit.
 
Sports Hard - It took quite a few goes, but you just have to slow down early and turn in early for the corners.
 
I love all my Ford GT's personally. The sound of the engine is phenomenal and the car just flies through the course. You just have to know how to tame a car like this. Tuning the car will work wonders. I drove Nurburgring stock ( fully updated with minor tuning to the tranny and braking system ) and it was just bad, felt like a more streamline Shelby to me. But then I tuned the thing and knocked 29 seconds off my lap time first run, 47 seconds on my second lap.

All about tuning it to the point to where you can hit turns smoothly and accelerate hard out without losing your back end. That is the key.

Learn to tune, and you'll soon love this ride.
 
Haven't played or checked these boards in almost a week. Thanks for keeping the thread alive. Still haven't heard of anyone beating it stock, no assists.

As for my original statement, apologies for the frustration i vented, but with them removing the "restrictions" on seasonal events I have taken it upon myself to beat them all with the stock cars, no assists...but I gave up on this one. Did it with anti skid, but not full boat stock.

Cheers
 
Seriously guys, have another go with the stock car. It feels rubbish but that's because it's so stupidly fast! Just slow right down for the corners and let its power to weight ratio do the work for you. The AIs drive really badly, especially in the esses after the first corner (we called these the stress esses on another forum years ago), and just after the second tunnel. I can't win the GT500 one but that's another thread...

I can't believe how ****ing ****** it is. You literally cannot win without soft racing tires because the ****ing thing does not turn, and skids out at the slightest hint of steering while braking.

And yes, I have done this race already and gotten first, but have tried doing it without the tires and its not even remotely fun or challenging like some of the other ones, just purely frustrating. pisses me off.

I think you just can't drive it ..... ever thought of a nice setup? :)
