I love that car! Even in full stock that 1969 Camaro is already a beast, it accelerates faster than any other classic car (stock) I tried and it sits just at the 450 pp limit for this race. Not to mention it comes with SH tires as well, many other stock classics come with CS.
Very fun ride here!

More fun winning here with with my favorite little car. Here is the tune I built for it.
Haha in America that's called a Little Car?

I often refer to this little cars as "mini cars". I like driving them all and they are a great change of pace from driving my favorite American muscle cars. I used to hate them until the latter stages of GT5 then I kinda fell in love with them after driving a few. Never judge a book by its cover. - 163

Ha It's funny how Americans love huge cars, and call normal European or Japanese cars like this small.
This car really reminds me of the 1973 AMC Hornet, like the Red Car in the James Bond film Man With The Golden Gun that Jumps the bridge.
Have you seen the British Ford Capri, Ford Sierra or Ford Escot from the 80's? The Cosworth Versions. The Ford Focus RS seems to be the modern high performance European Ford.

Yea, I believe I have. 👍 I only refer to them as "little" or "mini" because they are smaller than our average American car and definitely smaller than anything I drive....'03 Dodge Durango 4x4 with a 6" lift kit on it.

Haha that wouldn't even fit down the residential roads in the UK. Although once I saw a Murcieciago driving around the narrow backstreets of London, one road had a 6ft wide barrier which he obviously couldn't fit through

Damn, I love your style. You keep making me want to try out these hunks of crap vs these easy races for fun. Keep it up bud.

This is my best ride so far, not the quickest one. 
Chevrolet Corvette Coupe '63 bone stock @ CS tires with all assists off except ABS=1 and proximity indicator on. Using helmet camera and G27 wheel's manual H-shifter. No corner cutting and not hitting any car.

Giant-killing time there, @DisabledRacer; maybe it's your turn to grab an award? You've shaved thousandths of a second off the leader in 'The Midget Machiavelli' Event at Rabbit HQ. Recommend you throw that in as an entry.
Interesting tuner layouts @GTP_CargoRatt.
👍_________________________
To those who find the Beginner Events too easy - here, racing skill can take second place to the sheer enjoyment of driving lower-powered cars at their fastest; which means the vehicle is near maxed-out in all aspects from engine output to optimum contact patch. We can't do this too often and for extended periods when we drive the higher powered cars (unless on speedways like SSRX.)
However - when we use compact courses, either mini courses or compressed versions of longer courses like Tsukuba, Autumn Ring, Suzuka, Silverstone, etc - high-powered cars lose out to agility and lower-end torque (unless tuned for it), and this is where the 'little' cars come into play - not just little in size, but also little in output so that the vehicle has to be maxed out - and at this point is when exploring its full potential brings out many skills. Both in car, and driver.

Gold with the Mini Marcos bone stock with CS tyres. This wonderful and surprisingly good little (microscopic?) car would deserve to be premium.
