Enjoying the content! But I think it should be mentioned that it's much more important to know your car - and I mean 1 or max. 2 cars - than constantly changing cars because someone said it's the fastest one on a specific track. Will you loose some tenth on some tracks? Sure. But you will gain some more tenth by knowing exactly what the car is capable of or not, learning perfect lines for that specific car or working on the setup.
Thanks Marc! I very much agree with this, especially early on when you are still learning the game. We have some content coming up in the very near future when this kind of stuff is talked about, so keep an eye out :)
I got about 100hrs on the V8 vantage, I love how planted it is and I'm intimately familiar with it's setup, but I still struggle with it on anything outside my main 3 tracks, which are Spa, Monza and Mount Panorama, in that order too. I can't even imagine picking up another car and being that competitive, I'm barely managing below 2:20s on Spa with a car that I'd say is perfectly tuned for me (flat in 6th through Eau Rouge, flat out of turn 16 onto the back straight, flat around blanchimont, etc) I just don't have that sort of confidence and everytime I go out of my way to A try another car around Spa, I just end up spinning out or doing absolutely horrible times because I'm trying to take liberties with them that I can with the AMR V8. But similarly I do horribly on tracks I don't know well even with my AMR V8 and then get disheartened and just crawl back to Spa lol.
@@AntaresSQ01 Same struggle for me. Tried the 488 few times. Needed hours to get used to the very different behavior, finally pulled off single laps faster than with the Vantage, but still not able to keep this over a race. So I stay with the Vantage, trying to master track after track. To master for me means driving times "only" 2 sec something max slower than the aliens. Will never be able to catch them... Took me months of driving to get to 2:18 something on Spa or 1:48 on Monza. This week on lfm Suzuka is the track to drive. I know the track, but I am not used to it in GT3 / ACC. So far, in split 2 I was nearly 4 sec off the pole. By the end of the week I guess I will be 1 to 2 sec faster. But there is still the top split... the struggle is real...😉
Good stuff. I always drive the Bentley on Imola though. It's my fastest car on this track. Very forgiving over those massive bumps. I've yet to try the McLaren on Donnington.
Glad you are enjoying it! I was a Bentley man all the way at first. Really helped me learn the game with a stable base before jumping into some trickier cars. The Aston is similarly user friendly :)
Good stuff as always, I would rather adapt my car to the track though. After years of using the Audi R8 I’ve switched to the Lexus RC and I really like it. Whatever track I go to I will adapt the car to the track.
R Motorsport Vantage all the way for me.. I just find it such a nicely balanced car for the way I drive.. M6 is definitely a great choice for Laguna Seca. The corners just suit the low end torque. Such a nice course to drive!
@@JohnMunroRacing I'm a full on shill for Aston Martin lol. Yeah, the M6 doesn't feel like it would fit with Laguna because it's just massive. Even wider than the Bentley (by a whole millimeter!)
With the amount of time it’s been since I made this video and the major updates, some of the info might be a little outdated now. Hopefully the general advice is still useful 😊 Best of luck!
I keep coming back to the Ferrari but it is just too under-steery for me. I spend more time off track than on. I've spent hours trying to get more turn in but alas, this car is not for me. Can I ask what did you do to counteract the massive understeer?
@@TheMrSnipey honestly i haven't driven the Ferrari for a while now. recently switched to the BMW and it's an absolute wonder to drive. so easy to get used to and learn the little quirks and mitigate its few drawbacks.
@@TraxionGG in your opinion where would you rank the Porsche overall on BOP? I’m starting a new season soon and really like the Porsche but I heard it’s been nerfed a bit
Hey Aaron, there’s no doubt that the Porsche isn’t as strong as it used to be in terms of pace. It’s still a unique car and there are certain circuits where it can perform well, but it’s hugely setup and driving style dependent. If you have a good way of driving it and setting it up and you enjoy it, then it can still be a good car, but if not then I would probably say there will be other cars that are stronger over a season of multiple races.
Totally agree in terms of how it feels! When I’m driving the Nissan I always feel like I can brake later than everyone else, and still make the corners comfortably. It just lacks that tiny bit of speed right at the highest level, but honestly it feels so nice to drive that it’s never a bad choice 😎
If we were to do this again, we'll probably wait for the next update with the new cars coming. Downside to these videos is the BOP changes so frequently that it's only relevant for so long.
NSX splits opinions, but Bentley is my favourite too😉 Lots of BOP adjustments since this video was made though so some of it might be out of date pace wise. Great to hear you are getting into the game, best of luck with all of your racing and thanks for commenting 😊
So much weight at the rear generally makes it a bit of an aggressive beast to drive, especially with an aggressive setup! Do you find it easier than others?😊
It’s all about preference, I myself like a balanced car up until heavy understeer. I know a few guys who can handle oversteer so well, but when I tell them I prefer understeery cars they drive in them like my grandma. Same goes when I try a Porsche for example.

We need an updated list like this for 2022!

Yes yes, I agree
I bought the game I'm going to use the whole game
Good stuff. I always drive the Bentley on Imola though. It's my fastest car on this track. Very forgiving over those massive bumps.
I've yet to try the McLaren on Donnington.
Great content guys. Also Aston user here, feels so natural to drive.
Glad you are enjoying it! I was a Bentley man all the way at first. Really helped me learn the game with a stable base before jumping into some trickier cars. The Aston is similarly user friendly :)
Good stuff as always, I would rather adapt my car to the track though. After years of using the Audi R8 I’ve switched to the Lexus RC and I really like it. Whatever track I go to I will adapt the car to the track.
I drive the 720s because it feels so stable and planted that it feels like its a great choice on every track.
Our very own Rwaggy is fully in agreement with you, but he's a bit of a 720s simp so he's biased
Very interesting stuff. Would love to see this series updated to 1.9 BoP.
R Motorsport Vantage all the way for me.. I just find it such a nicely balanced car for the way I drive..
M6 is definitely a great choice for Laguna Seca. The corners just suit the low end torque. Such a nice course to drive!
Lots of Aston fans out there! And doesn't it just? I don't often pick the M6, but love it at Laguna.
@@JohnMunroRacing I'm a full on shill for Aston Martin lol. Yeah, the M6 doesn't feel like it would fit with Laguna because it's just massive. Even wider than the Bentley (by a whole millimeter!)
I would say pick ONE car and get used to campaigning that on all courses.
Enjoying the great ACC content 😁
My go to Content for ACC
Great video! Although I have to say that I’ve really seen the Bentley dominating at Imola. Other than that, very useful video👍
With the amount of time it’s been since I made this video and the major updates, some of the info might be a little outdated now. Hopefully the general advice is still useful 😊 Best of luck!
Personally, I feel like the Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo is pretty decent at least on most tracks and is a good all-round car.
I keep coming back to the Ferrari but it is just too under-steery for me. I spend more time off track than on. I've spent hours trying to get more turn in but alas, this car is not for me. Can I ask what did you do to counteract the massive understeer?
@@TheMrSnipey honestly i haven't driven the Ferrari for a while now. recently switched to the BMW and it's an absolute wonder to drive. so easy to get used to and learn the little quirks and mitigate its few drawbacks.
@@TheMrSnipey whats your aero variation?
Great work, can’t imagine how many hours it takes
Thanks! Of course it will be slightly varied for everyone but hopefully it's a push in the right direction.
For August 2022
Silverstone: M4
Spa: M4
Bathurst: M4
Imola: M4
Laguna: M4
Hungary: M4
Misano: M4
Brands: M4
Donnington: M4
I'm gonna say the BMW m6 in the wet at Barcelona is a dream to drive it handles the corners really well
The McLaren 720s is OP at Barcelona though. It's almost unfair how OP it is there.
@@TraxionGG I'll have to take your word for that as I'm not the biggest fan of the McLaren and I've never driven it.
Thanks man!
Great vid, earned a sub there
Thank you :)

I choose Lexus far safety. I mean I can control it and manage well, what works out on long term races.
Update? Anything big change?
I feel like I'm the only Nissan GTR player. car feels idiot-proof and perfect for driving consistent which usually ends me up on the podiums.
Totally agree in terms of how it feels! When I’m driving the Nissan I always feel like I can brake later than everyone else, and still make the corners comfortably. It just lacks that tiny bit of speed right at the highest level, but honestly it feels so nice to drive that it’s never a bad choice 😎
is mclaren good enough in Monza?
The jag I heard is the best car for Monza..is this true?
Nah it's the reiner
I did a league race in the v8 aston last week and at the first chicane I constantly lost about 200 ms per lap due to the insane turbo lag the car has
Lets update that list like this for 2022! Please, we need it =)
If we were to do this again, we'll probably wait for the next update with the new cars coming. Downside to these videos is the BOP changes so frequently that it's only relevant for so long.
@@TraxionGG ok i will wait ;) thanks for answer, like your acc videos
So now I wonder if it's using a controller or driving the Lexus the reason I'm slow, or maybe both lol
Definitely using a controller will make you way slower
Take a shot every time John said to not use the BMW.
The funny thing is I actually really like the BMW, it just tends to be good or bad and rarely in the middle😂
@@TraxionGG yeah exactly! But with the new M4 the M6 is practically useless soo
👀
ASTON MARTIN vantage
Me: drives Porsche and Honda on every track
i dont even know how to change cars yet lmao
point taken - avoid the BMW
I feel like my Bentley is hated XD
Honestly, I love the Bentley. Have done way more races in that car than any other!
@@TraxionGG Hey Thanks first of all for answering me ! Its really awesome.
I just started ACC i really love the Bentley and the NSX :P
NSX splits opinions, but Bentley is my favourite too😉 Lots of BOP adjustments since this video was made though so some of it might be out of date pace wise.
Great to hear you are getting into the game, best of luck with all of your racing and thanks for commenting 😊
@@TraxionGG but the look of it it’s questionable hahaha
I find it weird that people say the Porsche is hard to handle
So much weight at the rear generally makes it a bit of an aggressive beast to drive, especially with an aggressive setup! Do you find it easier than others?😊
It’s all about preference, I myself like a balanced car up until heavy understeer. I know a few guys who can handle oversteer so well, but when I tell them I prefer understeery cars they drive in them like my grandma. Same goes when I try a Porsche for example.
@@TraxionGG yes I do maybe it’s because I play on controller but I dominate most races I’m in with it and the lambo
@@Dutch-McLarenJk82- that’s true cause I rather enjoy the nsx too
@@shingiraimusinga3571 NSX is one of the trashiest cars in 1.9 though. Also controller damn that’s cool. What laptimes do you do on controller?
For whatever reason, the V8 Aston is completed shyt on Xbox compared to PC. It is lucky to be a top 10 car in any BOP
Yeah they botched it on console
saying bentley is not good at imola, mate ya so wrong
Barcelona???
3:10 - th-cam.com/video/PuJIou2bQ8E/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TraxionGG
there is no "best car" they're all track dependent
This is covered extensively in the video. I suggest watching it :P
Literally what the video is about
