Slow uncompetitive car suggestions.

[BYF]

I'm after some suggestions for cars that are slow for there PI/Class with or without upgardes to try and get a closer race with the AI on some events.

I guess I could upgarde engine/turbo to huge HP and leave the tyres stock, but I'd prefer something more balanced.

Thanks

Actually I tend to find that upgrading handling while leaving the engine/turbo stock does best at making close races - you really need to drive clean and pick your exact time to overtake if they can catch you on the straights. Very tense

Remember it's upgrading to match your performance class, not your 'car'. So there are a few things you can take that don't really change performance outright so much (suspension, differential, etc) that nonetheless give the AI more points to 'spend' matching you.

Yep upgrade handling-breaks, tyres, suspension- and leave the power one's uninstalled.The A.I. cars will be faster than Yours.
If You have the legends DLC You can go with the stock Carrera RSR against the NFS team prize car wich is much faster, it's a good battle.

Thanks I'll try some handling mods then, and maybe add some wings to increase drag, it could make for some topsy turvey races though getting out dragged on the straights and having to make it up in the corners. If that's what I need to do to lap at a similar pace to the AI then so be it.

Regarding the DLC 911 3.0 RSR, I really like driving that car stock but whenever I do a quick race and select same class all I get is a grid full of the same car, no Capri, BMW CSL etc. Any other stock cars that are rather slow for there PI/Class?

Which event can you race the NFS team prize car?

Thanks

Try an engine swapped S15 Spec-R. Then run it in C-Class

Well, one thing I've found myself returning to a fair bit, even though I'm not done with the career, is the boss stage series. These give you an opponent car of a fixed PC, which will be (ideally) the top place on the grid, with the remainder of opponents scaled to your PC. I've done the Muscle Car and Endurance ones in just about every car you can squeak by next to the RTRX and M3 GT2 so far

I have found that if you dont change your gearing you can get a decent race. Once you get the tranny tuned you just smoke the AI.

Not saying it's slow, but another car to consider would be a Works Lotus Exige. If you are looking for a car that won't blow away the AI and bring out the competitive spirit in you, try this one. It gets a 1985ish PI rating, and offline you'll be racing against Zonda R's and the like. Personally, I really like this car...

Have a good one!

I think there is a option to mixed opponents.
Anything 100 or 200 PI below class limit-ex: BMW M1 pro car, 1320 PI-if I remember well, 180 PI below the B class cap.

Pretty much anything in legends pack except the 70's League, I think.

I've had some fun races in the DLC Capri using the standard setup against the AI using same class or identical cars racing at old Dijon and Silverstone International.

For some reason the AI lap quite fast in that car and provide a decent challenge.

Another fun was the Speedhunters Dodge Challanger against identical cars at Silverstone International.

Hoping to find some more good combinations next time I play.

I also tried the Speedhunters AMG SLS car against same class opposition at Silvertstone International, the PI on this car is only 1500, but it's very fast for it's rating and upto 10 seconds a lap faster than the AI. I was in the 1.15s and the 2nd place AI car a Lambo Murc 1.25s

With identical cars the AI are much faster and can lap nearer my times, which shows the PI is far too low, it laps as fast as cars with a 1900 rating.

Its hard to judge what you are up against due to the scaling of the AI.

A fun Legends race is the 70's GT series with a Skyline. I used one that we used in the Legends League races with a PI of 948. It put me up against almost all Porches. The Porches had more top end and would catch and pass on straits.
