FR and RR

[extreme car]

Hey which one of this is the best? and which one is faster?

 

[xcsti]

FR by a long shot. More control, better grip.

 

[truenofan]

id have to say fr. i have difficulty in using ff as i cant make them turn.

 

[98cobra]

Since it's between FR and RR I would choose FR, but the Ruf RGT handled pretty good.

Your right. But he asked for either FR or FF. I think everyone would agree that the MR F1 cars handled best.

The title of the link is "FR or RR," not "FR or FF."

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Actually it's "FR and RR"

I would go with FR in general, but as road cars go the RGT is damn good.

 

[Victor Vance]

The 996 (RUF or otherwise ) is nice, but there's a much wider selection of FR cars in GT3.

 

[demon of speed]

The fr series has to be one of my favorite early races, those cars are so good to thrash around the track.

 

[del sol man]

FR cars are best apart from the Ruf RGT

 

[Bollocks#999]

Exactly which FR do you want to compare with the RGT (The only RR in the game)?

 

[truenofan]

sorry i was thinking of another car, yeah, fr are really good. but rr arent that bad either, its just that there are more fr cars than rr or mr in the game.

 

[skunk]

Well seeing how there are about 2 RR cars in the entire game, I'd lean towards FR. However if this was between MR and FR, I'd take MR due to a better center of gravity.

👍

The RUF RGT is one of the best cars in the game.

RR is the formula to racing.

 

[ledhed]

actually the drivetrains that give you the closest to a 50/50 balance of weight over the wheels are the "best " for handling.

Whoops, I need to learn how to read.

Sorry there. I guess I would choose FR still, but there aren't enough RR cars to really compare.

 

[Tedehur]

I would rank them in this way :

MR > FR > RR > 4WD > FF

Midship engines give the car the best balance so that's my favourite.
It's difficult to get out of a turn really fast with a FF, so that's a type of cars I don't drive much (except in real life).

BTW, the C5R is said to be 'FR' in the game. Actually, the engine has to be partially over the front wheels for a car to be considered 'FR'.
Since on the C5R the engine is completely behind the front wheels, it should be considered MR.
However, all info I found concerning the C5R say it's FR. Perhaps I should create a thread to ask people their opinion...

Well, the engine is in front of the driver, too, so it's kind of hard to make it an MR.

I believe IRL they call those Front Midship, rear drive. The RX-8 (small engine)and SLR (Super long front end) are both set up that way. I think the 350Z is borderline.

 

[notaless]

FoR sure FR

 

[Victor Vance]

Flat out your signature is wrong. The safest cars to drive flat-out are the Renault Dauphine and Subaru 360

You're right. a couple of cars are FM (Front-Midship), and that includes the C4, C5, C6, Pontiac GTO/Holden Monaro (I think, never had a look under the hood), and aforementioned RX-8 and Fairlady Z. The Dodge Viper SRT10 and Competition Coupe might be, but their engines are huge. I don't think that they're small enough to not have a portion in front of the axle.

Yeah, and there are many other examples. (BMW Isetta, Fiat 500...) The Mini though exists in Gran Turismo (and I had one in real life before it died in a car accident involving a Renault Clio )

 

[Tedehur]

For once the french language is more accurate than english. We say "position centrale arrière" for Midship engine, which implies it's in the back of the driver. I guess we say "position centrale avant" for the Front Midship position.

 

[truenofan]

flat-out, that sucks, even if it is a mini, its still a car. sory about your cooper.

 

[Duke]

Actually, it's not any portion of the engine that determines the classification, it's the centerline. If the centerline of the engine (axis of crankshaft on transverse engines, or midpoint of crankshaft on longitudinal engines) is between the centerlines of the wheels, then it's a mid-engine vehicle.

 

[Pistachio]

The RR set up is by nature a retardant to performance. The fact that Porsche makes such awesome cars is a testament to their engineering and innovation, not to the RR layout.

As for FR or RR, i will take the engine hanging out behind the rear-axle, whether it be RWD or 4WD.

 

[extreme car]

Heh i thought FR is the best car and i'mn worng then I should try using more RR wheel drive car

Edit: Oh yeah and thanks for the opinion

Holden Monaro's are FR as the Gen III Chev motor is a Front mounted design and i can tell you that the engine is definitely over the front axle. As far as I know the GTO is the same because i dont think they do a lot to convert it other than the LHD conversion and the body mods. Maybe you guys get a mildly different engine to us for the GTO. I know on eht enew model GTO you guys get the 6.0 litre engine with 400HP and 546NM of torque at the crank. A new bonnet with twin scoops and twin exhaust. We only get the bonnet and exhausts and the GTO design boot mount fuel tank on the Monaro.
