I have only started to add some cars to the club garage but I thought it would be a good place to offer feedback on others uploaded cars and also your intentions with the car you are uploading.

Driven:
B-Class Nissan Micra - I had no idea how to drive this thing, It felt like the steering was very sensitive and I had a hard time controlling it. I drove it at Catalunya National Circuit but could never quite pin down its characteristics. It seemed better suited for a track with tight corners.

Uploaded:
D-Class Thunderbird & Bel Air - Really, each car just has a custom transmission and some characteristics to help the handling. They arent the best cars for the class but they make for some fun racing.
F-Class Ford Ka - There are better F class vehicles out there, this one is set up more for handling so I might change it to add more power.
C-Class Chevy Volt - Once again, not the best car but it is fun to drive and actually takes some getting used to in regards to not having much engine noise.

Ultimate goal is to add as many lower class cars as possible so I will update as I add more. Half of my problem is I am unsure which Club Garage car to use because I am clueless to how they are set-up.
 
A-Class Mercedes 190E - I believe this is SatansReverence's car. Raced this against the E28 M5 on Road Atlanta and although I did not win, I felt this car was very well balanced. Once the tires were warm, this car went exactly where you want it to go, albeit a little twitchy for my tastes. Top speed was alright but the opponents M5 pulled away after a bit on the straights. Braking was good, no complaints.
 
Hey guys, I just added 3 new cars to the club garage. One is a S class race tuned IS350 (complete with a horribly made livery) and the other 2; a BMW Z4 and IS-F, are A Class race tuned as well. I'd like for someone to test them, because I spent almost 1 1/2 hours tuning them, and spent the most on the IS-F.
Thanks!

Hi guys! I'll be testing your cars as soon as I'll have the time. Meanwhile feel free to test my shared cars, which are all built mainly for autocross, but work in other types of races too, lacking the top end speed of course. I drive with a wheel so my tunes may not work too well on a pad.

The best ones I advise you to try are the RS500 Sierra, which helped me reach first place on the leaderboard in American Autocross and the 65 Mustang which is currently holding 11th place in Indy Autocross if I remember correctly. :) My own experience tells me both of these cars are very stable and have just the right amount of power in relation to their chassis'.

Drive them and tell me what you think! :) Also the Delta which I used in the Autocross Italia was proven to be quite fast but it still suffers from some lift off oversteer which doesn't happen with the two mentioned before.
 
I will try and get around to testing out some of the cars that you all have mentioned. Right now I have been tuning my own stable of A-Class Mercedes and other cars to build my garage.

A-Class GTI MK6 - YoDef - This car was pretty fun to drive. I was bored with my current offerings and needed something with quick acceleration for the online race I was about to participate in. It was a large race of 16 people around Sebring Full. Finished in the top 25% surprisingly, even with all of the people spinning out in the corners. Top speed was pretty dang good also. Overall a great experience.

The 65 mustang is awesome. I haven't spent a ton of time in it but I doubt there is a better car for that autocross event.

Thanks! I was wondering whether I should add a few HP to keep up with the big boys, but I really don't want to ruin the handling, as it suits my driving style and my wheel setup perfectly! :) I don't think I've ever managed to build such a stable car, I can just stand on the throttle on every corner exit!
