N3: what's the best car?

Simple question: what's the best car to be used in N3? Are there really
big differences? Yeah, I know, it depends on your racing style, but I'd
just like to know which car most people use. I'm quit a Nascar newbie,
*** on to the back of the pack at 100 %, so that may make a
difference too...

If you are a newbie, the different chassis won't feel all that
different, but if you really want to choose one, go with the Pontiac
(2), this is the "neutral" chassis that works with most setups on most
tracks.......

Yes, there is a difference Jeroen.  Is is quite subtle, but there.
The Chevy (chassis 1) provides slightly more downforce on the front,
generally better for speedways.  1 mile tracks or more.
The Pontiac (chassis 2) is balance front and rear.  Probably the best choice
to start with.
The Ford (chassis 3) provides slightly more downforce on the rear, generally
better for short tracks.

After you do about 1,000 ;) laps on the various different tracks, you will
develope a driving style of your own, then maybe another car might suit you
better.  My self, I prefer my car a bit on the loose side, so the Chevy
works for me.

Of course, there are others reading this saying "this car is better or that
car is better" yada yada yada...and yes there major exceptions to consider.
There are cats out there that can put the Ford or Pontiac up front a
Talladega, or the Chevy upfront at Martinsville.

But all things beeing equal, the above chassis definitions apply, so choose
what you like.
