What is the best car(s) to use to learn a track in the best way?

[Delirious]

Like if I want to learn the London track in the best way possible; getting the best feel of the track...what car(s) would you guys recommend to accomplish this?

Every car has it's own unique behavior. You might want to try many different cars on London and practice with them a lot. But if I had to choose, I would say that AWD cars are the best to use on London because they can get around tight corners better. You could try the Lancers or the STi; they would help you get around the track relatively easily without crashing a lot.

 

[Delirious]

Well not just London of course; the other tracks as well...or would you say AWD for those too?

I would say some of the slower cars are better to learn the track itself because youre mostly able to take appropriate lines and such, basically any car you feel really really confortable with it's handling as it is such a tight track, I normally learn a track with a 600PP'ish car as they're reasonably fast and there are some really easy cars to drive in that category.

turn all the driving aids off.

 

[klondike]

Id say one of the slower cars. Gotta learn to crawl before you can walk.

TBH i love driving the Ford Focus ST .. but the Nissan GT-R is a great car for learning 4wd.

I'd say the best AWD car for this is the Evo X. Corners reasonably and is not too fast.

I'd say the best AWD car for this is the Evo X. Corners reasonably and is not too fast.

Agreed or maybe the EVO X tuned, great cars for handling.

 

[the Interceptor]

Agreed or maybe the EVO X tuned, great cars for handling.

No offense mate, but I wouldn't got for the Evo X tuned, simply because I think it's too grippy for learning.

You should learn tracks in cars you want to drive. Whats the point in learning braking points for cars you aren't going to drive again.

As for how fast - it doesn't matter. If you learn the course with a slow car, and you intend on driving faster cars, then you'll be learning braking points which are too late and sometimes slower racing lines and vice versa. Driving a slower car doesn't make a track easier to learn, it just changes how you approach the track and which braking points you learn, etc.

Funnily enough, I'd say if you learn the track with an F2007 and then drive around the track with say, a Suzuki Swift, you're lines will be easier to learn than the other way around with going from slow car to fast car, but that means nothing - just learn a track with whatever car you plan on using.

for me its more of driving the track as much as possible. Before london 500p came out online, I sucked big time on this map. After it came out, I got so much better cuz I tried all sorts of cars on this track, playing it over and over again. Try them with the racing line first, then turn it off once you get all the brake and turning points. Then you will roughly understand which gear and what speed to take a corner.
