Any > opinions >My OPINIONS: (note that!) best through to worst 1)Lotus is easily the best car, but you need to be good to drive it to it's full potential. Once you can drive it, you'll be very quick. Has a tendency to break though 2)Eagle, fastest in a straight line, but weighs more, quite stable, but can be hampered by its long wheelbase on tight turns. Fragile 3)Ferrari: Nice driveable engine, coupled with responsive handling make this car ideal for slower circuits, but it lacks top speed. 4)Brabham: Small and nimble, with good acceleration, but far too skittish, and low power. Only a contender because of Brabham's and Hulme's ability at the wheel, and cast iron reliability 5) Honda: Plenty of horsepower, and quite stable, but lacks acceleration and weighs tons. Has not been made as unreliable in GPL as it really was in '67 6)Cooper: Stable and easy to drive, but overweight, and engine isn't good enough 7)BRM. Could've been great, but torque curve is abysmal, it handles like a bus, and weighs about the same. sounds nice though.

For some reason I like the Eagle most. I got used too it and I'm having trouble with every other car. It's more predictable than the Lotus and almost that fast. The fastest car is the Lotus but I can't handle it. So personally I find it isn't the best. In the hands of a pro in the other hand...

Only ever drive the cooper, haven't driven any other in quite a few months, it may not be the fastest, or the lightest, but it can beat any driver of lesser skillz +) Md Tony StewartNo20 wrote:

I prefer the Lotus, though maybe not the easiest it is quick and I find it more predictable then the others. The Ferrari is easier to learn in but I find it can be very annoying, it's not easy to slide smoothly through a fast turn like you can in the Lotus. Personally I don't like the F1 Brabham or Eagle but the F3 or F2 Brabham is okay. A good F1 car for rookies is the Cooper.

The best car is the BRM It is a real challange to set up well, but once you hit the sweet spot it handles like a dream. Because of the poor torque and extra weight it makes you concentrate on your lines and become a better driver as a result. And there is nothing more satisfying than thrashing a lotus driver with it ;) Marc

>What are you taliking about? ^^^^^^^^ I think you've just answered your own question :-) Getting back on topic, for me it's the Ferrari. Fast and "chuckable", what more do you need? :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash

I dont think there is a best car...i think theres just a best car for your driving style. Im best in the Eagle and BRM. Totally opposite ends of the spectrum but I do well in both. The lotus i actually find the opposite of what everyone says it is which is twitchy and high strung...i find it slow and unresponsive. The Cooper which is supposed to be easy to drive I find utterly impossible to drive. The Ferrari is good, the Brabham is stable but slow, and the Honda to me is just a total dud. Thats just my opinion though. Chris

Ya' know , I drive the BRM almost exclusively lately and while the words "challenging", "frustrating", "tail happy" , "wacky-ass-fun" and "dirty-big-grin-inducing" come to mind I do have to admit that the word "best" never occured to me.

My personal fav is the Eagle, but I actually started out in the Brabham of all cars...I never really could stand the big lumbering old BRMs, Hondas, and Coopers. Lotus is fastest, but hard to drive; Brabham is fast when top speed isn't a huge issue (that is, in F1...in F2/F3 the tables are turned) but it's down a good 50-odd horses or more to the other cars. Ferrari and Eagle are similar in many respects, and setups convert between the two easily... -- Kirk Lane [email hidden] [email hidden] ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA" Chris Bloom <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I prefer the Lotus, though maybe not the easiest it is quick and > I find it more predictable then the others.
