Ok, firstly, this is not meant to play down the pros out there who race HPD or anything like that, I am sure the pro HPD drivers are top top drivers but just wanted to say after buying the HPD given the current sale...

are you JOKING? This car is like so easy to drive (remember, I don;t mean getting WR times, just in terms of drivability). I mean compared to the skip, oh my god....I mean put a newbie in a skip and I assure you they will spin out more than once on a track, probably like 5 - 6 times ain't even exaggerating it but this HPD, I give it just a few laps without understanding the car, I know my lap times weren't alien but I was literally trying to spin the car out and its like glued to the track. I was hitting my face against the wall when I was doing some laps at Brand Hatch in the Skip, gave up, had about 10 mins before I couldn't play and tried the HPD, no spin outs, and as Clarkson would say "SPEEED." Man its easy, should be a C class car, you wouldn't want it D class because some newbies might go nuts with that speed but yea...this has to be the easiest car in the game, perhaps not to get WR, but easiest car to drive by far. Even the MX5 is more difficult.
HOWEVER, in saying that, its pretty dam fun. I want a good 1 year with the Skip or even 2 years, but HPD will be next on my list. Only reason I like it because SPEEED.
Tried some others, Riley, meh its ok if you like that sort of thing. Quite a heavy car, really need to brake early. Star Mazda is ok but I personally wouldn't race it, I just feel the Star Mazda is in the middle - its not as difficult, fun or as good of a series compared to Skip and its not as difficult, series not as pro or as fun as the F1, its just stuck in the middle.
Going to post some reviews in the car thread.
