As most of you know, I like to try cars that most people don't try or own. Three more cars I tried and won with were:
WSR 1983 Ayrton Senna (110 hp
)
Nissan Bluebird Rally Car (510) '69 (476 PP)
Lamborghini Diablo GT2 '98

It's tough finding a car for these 500PP race car events. I'm not much for power de-tuning more than 90%, so that basically leaves me with the Silvia Spec-R, Elise Race Car, Ferrari GTO, Alfa TZ2, and Corvette StingRay Concept. Everything else in my garage is less than 475PP and I like to run stock as much as possible. Just purchased the Integra Type R Tourer, so maybe that'll do the trick. Otherwise fun race so far with the Ferrari and a second place.

My Celica ST205 WRC handles this easily. it's basically a detuned version of my best attempt at replicating the real one's super cheaty restrictor plate/turbo. It's got 330hp for 500pp (normally 354hp) but is otherwise very close to stock. The car is amazingly docile even on the downgraded tyres I use (SS to SM). I ended up catching the rabbit with a lap to spare, spinning out due to distracted driving, and then re-catching him in the next turn. Now I remember why I loved this thing.

In the case of this track, I literally just run the suspension and transmission stock. (And I never touch the differential anyway, because, quite frankly, I don't know how to tune it.) You could probably shorten the final drive a little, but it's really not necessary. The only real tweak is the Low-RPM Turbocharger and an oil change, with power limiter set to exactly 330hp.
The ST205 is such a great car to begin with. Doesn't need a whole lot of work to be amazingly competitive.

This mitsu rally car tuned by @ImToLegitToQuit made it a fun race with a shortened trans and I increased downforce some. Good tune 👍

Lancia Delta S4 made this a very enjoyable if somewhat easy race.
Remember to balance the car or you'll end up facing the way you came when you hit the brakes!

I'm not very familiar with this track, but my Mazda Roadster TC with Prariano's tune is really grippy, which makes it perfect for all the weird, off-camber funky curves. Good for a two-second+ victory over the Pugeot RC. 👍

I really enjoy this circuit; it has crests and turns preceding fast sections that are quite interesting and rewarding, and remind me of Oregon Raceway Park and The Ridge, tracks where I faced similar problems in my kart.
I've tried several cars FTW here at Matterhorn Dristelen. My '06 RE Anemiya RX-7 base is easiest to hold on the line due to its massive downforce. However, the Lotus Elise Race Car '04 gets me the quickest lap times due to higher top speeds. There are several setups out there for this car that get the job done, but I think there is some untapped potential remaining to be found.

I would be very disappointed if the expert seasonal became any easier, we have the three levels of difficulty for a good reason and I hope it stays that way. The current expert race and the previous one were very enjoyable to do. 👍
As for this intermediate race, I have so far done it with the 'Calibra Touring Car' and the 'RS200 Rally Car', for both cars it was simple yet fun wins.

That was the first car I tried for this event (totally stock) and it felt like it was born for the Matterhorn. Easy win.
Less grip but just as fun the RS200. Never disappoints and larger gap win than the Alfa.
The Subaru Impreza GT300 08 was another win but a bit dull to drive.
Looks like a Yorkie Bar but a nice fun drive and really easy win is the Toyota Altezza touring car.
