The most difficult car to drive well in GT4?

Theres been a lot of discussion about the Yellow Bird being a tough car to drive, (try driving it on the ring), its one of the toughest cars in the game to drive, but I still think the Cizeta, overall, the most difficult car to drive, and possibly the worst car. Only good point I'll say about the Cizeta is that it does look beautiful, but for good performance, far from it.

Kent makes a very good point: driving a car fast and manage it is still far from mastering it.

Personally, I'm still annoyed I can not drive the Ruf RGT at its limits. Yeah, i'm pretty fast with it on most tracks, but I can see(feel) there must be more in that car than what I'm able to get out of it. Having driven quite a few Porsches in RL (and owned until last year a Boxster myself), I know there is a better handling in this piece of art...It's up to me to unlock it, and thats a part of why GT4 is still a great game to play!

Remember the RUF BTR (I think its called) back in GT3? Wow, now that car is almost impossible to drive, I say it can rival the Cizeta for worst handling.
 
Just did a 7:40 in the Yellow Bird at the ring, it could have been better too; my cat jumped on my at one stage and that was my major flaw. I came off 2 other times, on the very first corner (came in too hot, haven't driven it much) and then toward the end just before that 'mini karousel' corner. Everything stock with 2 TCS.

I find this car doesnt like to turn much under brakes but you can throttle steer it sort of. Brake early and in a straight line is my main tip.
 
I like a challenge and I like oversteer so the cars that I found most difficult at first are now some of my favourites:-

the Speed 12, both Alpines (the A310 with weight in the back is fantastic but lethal) and the AUto-union at the ring get my vote.

66.
 
Theres a car called G4, cant remember what make it is though, im pretty sure it European, its super lightweight and has absolutely no turning ability. It will also spin up in the higher gears just because it can. Abnoxious little turd it is.

That'd be the Ginetta G4, from England. A great little car, and in my opion one of the best looking cars in the game:



It has issues with brakes though, but being so old they were probably drums all round which could explain things. I didn't have too much trouble turning the thing though, I thought it was a heap of fun. I've got three or four in my garage, one stock, one fully tuned, and others in different tunes. I find it great to blast around the 'ring in... :)
 
Ford GT (non LM, I hate the brakes & pushes like a pig)
Lancia Stratos (Very unstable at high speeds)
Alpine A310 (If you have the car, you know the issues)
RUF YELLOWBIIRD (So much power)

Ford GT - made me throw my dual shock at my tv once... grrrr...
Yellow Bird - made me do the same.

I agree with you wholely on the Ford GT man.

I hate that car. I did everything I could to stablize it under braking but all I could do was make it quit turning all to gether on the throttle.

Any production car is hard to drive after you've got used to the FGT.

I agree, I after doing the Formula GT series or whatever its called, then going back to my trusty 2000 GT-R N1 I was like "WTF BRAKE MOFO!" Its just so different. Only thing that annoys me is the snap oversteer on corners that are on any sort of incline, for example the high-speed chicane on Tokyo R246 was a killer.
 
The speed 12 probably for having a lot of potential (the actual chassis is very fast, just with an engine from hell!). No car would feel composed with that much power going straight to the rear wheels...

I have to defend the yellowbird. Its really not hard to drive (in a fun manner, where you feel in control at the same time as being kinda outta control)... I don't mind the rear starting to come around on heavy braking - I do it on purpose (once you know it'll happen, and how much, you start to love it) to help get it pointing in the right direction for a fast (not huge angle) drift around those lovely nurburgring bends...
Yes, the yellowbird might be hard to drive in a total 'grip' style, but this really goes against the car's DNA. If you really want to drive grip, get an F1 car!

I would say one of the very hardest cars (in its very unique way) to master and actually get something out of (but not in a racing sense) would be the Motor Carriage and the Motor Wagon (see my 1889 Motor Carriage thread to see the insane level of dedication folks have put towards getting these 'cars' around the nurburgring in faster and faster times... the kind of dedication I've never seen required to master any other car. The techniques required are totally unique to those two models... most people can't get the 'carriage' even to the start line of the nurb... sorry a blatant plug for my thread - I'm really proud of the people that have mastered those two cars! Surely the 'Wagon' and 'Carriage' are contenders for the worst inital driving experience (can't get around the track, painfully slow) but with a totally surprising level of satisfaction if you persevere though insanity to slowly* master them..

*slowly being the operative word here.
 
Only car in GT4 that I have trouble with is the little Ginetta G4, brakes are non-existing and the turning capabilities, oh dear 👎
