Is there a big difference between the cars? Are some much quicker/easier to
drive than others or does it depend on driving style? (My own style usually
consists of flying across the grass at various angles).....
What order would they be in if you had to rank them?
Interested to hear your views.....

IMHO, fastest to slowest:
Lotus
Eagle
Ferrari or Brabham (not sure which of these two is fastest)
Coventry/Cooper
Murasama/Honda
BRM
For sliding across grass fast, I would pick the Lotus. For sliding in
style, I'd go with the Ferarri.

For me, the question is less which car is the absolute fastest, but
which car can I drive consistently fastest at most of the tracks.
In online racing GPL so far, I've even been on the grid 3rd or 4th place
eagle with a couple of lotuses ahead and managed to pull off a win with
consistent driving, not even having the fastest lap of the race. Personally
this is more satisfying than getting fastest lap and crashing a lot. But that
might be just me.
Eventually I hope to master all the cars in GPL, I can tell that like GP2,
I will be playing GPL for a long time to come. I'm just glad that Papyrus
chose to model the different feeling car models since this will give
GPL a whole added dimension in mastering the different cars as well
as mastering the tracks.
Seeyas on the track.

eagle - very stable and FAST
brabham - quickest and best brakes
cooper - hard to mess up
ferrari - great corner handling
lotus - squirrely
honda - a boat
BRM - a tank. a beautiful tank, but still a tank.
VROOOMMMMM!
Yes... I agree, the BRM handles quite well on the grass and in the ditch,
and is OK through the air :-).
I would say though that the Lotus should be much higher on the list *if* you
can drive it.... I can't, to be honest, except for the odd time I do put
in a clean lap and can stick to a good line, it's usually the 'fastest'
laps I post, I wish I could drive it cleanly consistently in a race
situation. For me, the top two are Eagle/Brabham. I would rank the Eagle
only slightly higher, just because I find it is much more comfortable for
me to hop in and do a race (from a decent starting pos. to a full lap
finish). I prefer to finish 75% of the races in the top 10 or so, then to
DNF on 50%, but place in the top 5.

of course it fdepends on your driving style too.
