The Best Cars For Each Race Type
By Mr.Crazy
This guide will show and list the cars used by other players for each race type. The entries have been taken from the in game rivals list from a variety of drag, road, dirt, and cross country races. They have also been sorted by small, medium, and large size races and whether they are a single lap or a circuit. Not every car is the best for each race type in this list, especially when it comes to dirt and cross country. I have found that there is a variety of cars used by players for drag, dirt, and cross country compared to road where there are usually at most 3 cars in the lineup for the best cars to use.

TLDR: Test cars for your preference, especially on dirt and cross.

Miscellaneous
This section is mainly for if you don't know what car to pick when going to a specific event, like the festival playlist. The best car to pick is to choose a car with good stats but low PI. For example, if the event you are going to is set at A 800, then choose a car that is an A or B class. Try to have a car with at least a 50 point or more starting difference from the max PI allowed. This allows you to modify your car the way you like it and add modifications that would be better than a car with a higher starting PI.

I hope you enjoyed this guide, this is my first guide so give criticism if necessary and if you don't think the cars in the list are actually good remember to test other cars tuned to your preference.

Drift cars don't have a race type on the map so I didn't put them in guide. If you want drift cars then most cars can be drift cars just if you tune well. Stay away from high ride height cars like offroad. Rally monsters like the ones made by hoonigan are made for drifting and stunts, if you want to have a x class drift then the 1965 hoonigan gymkhana 10 ford hoonigan mustang is good, at least for ken block sentamentality.

the last quote is in need for speed if your wondering why it was familiar -if it was familiar to you-
