@ Johnnypenso : Turbogeit's suggested doing a long race with this car maybe on a custom Eifel Circuit track.
I really wanted to get an idea about this car first... because I know it's the kind of car that can really spread out a grid. Thus my choices of 4 quite different sorts of challenging tracks for it, to see how it goes.
It's the kind of car that drives very very nice, and actually stays put on the track quite a bit... but when it looses it, it seems to REALLY lose it!! So for any kind of endurance, I think the track would have to be chosen with GREAT care.

Otherwise... one of your favourite cars in the game really?
I think it's one of the most bizarre cars in the game, that's for sure.

Oh, and I also quickly put this together to encourage everyone I know to snap the car up from the OCD while it's in there.

Pretty proud of that, not often I win that much And as I said, impressed by melon who raced me hard in a couple of races. Of course i'm impressed by atongo as well but I've seen those skills before so it wasn't that much of a surprise. Melon has upped her game and now she's comin' for us!

 

[watermelon punch]

So turbogeit had the idea of perhaps choosing some custom track to do an endurance with this car. (Or perhaps just a longER race... as I'm not sure how long I can keep that up!! LOL)
I would be curious to know people's opinions about the different track types...
I chose those 4 tracks specifically because they're all different.

 

[Phouchg]

It was definitely a challenge to control the Suzuki at the custom tracks, especially the high speed one. But that almost made it more fun. Trial mountain was really fun and challenging as well, Suzuka was much easier, it felt like an f1 car there. But you might want it a bit easier for a long race. ^^

Grand Valley Speedway comes to mind .... and CS tires
