The 2013 DeltaWing. It's certainly interesting to drive. Also bought the Vision Mercedes-Benz racing car... which was a bit stupid of me...

In preparation for some of the races in the International A class, I bought my all-time favorite car...
...the McLaren F1. I was almost tempted to hang onto my money to get the Pagani Huayra, but I decided I needed a good way to blow 1M Credits. Not bad to go with this car, eh? Nothing special about her. She's in a warm silver color. Then again, I may opt to eventually paint this baby in my customary blue and gold colors to make her mine.

Really, I don't really care what certain Prize Cars are. While I could save money earning certain cars, I basically just get whatever. Some cars I even bought previously were awarded to me for my progress in GT6. Most recently was the Range Rover Evoque.
I do care about prize cars, but not really. At least I know what I'm getting for the S class of races!
I haven't started the IA races yet, but at least I now know I could get the F1 for free.

By "interesting" I wonder if you mean the same as I experienced with that car... Lots of understeer entering corners, followed by snappy spinning as soon as you try to throttle for the exit? It's like the light front end doesn't want to turn in, then doesn't provide any yaw inertia to resist the rotation at the rear (kind of like how sometimes when the rear gets loose on power, initially countersteering makes it worse)... Definitely had buyer's remorse on that one.
Last night the GT-R LM Concept race car - which I loved in GT5 - proved a very good purchase in GT6. Dial in the aero and transmission and suspension and it really gets good.

I got the Audi R8 LMS last night. It's one of the last "reasonably" affordable (under 1 mil) cars on my list. I'm very interested to get into the MR handling debate. I have the AE version but haven't touched it since being unable to get around High Speed Ring without spinning out. That was back in the first or second week after the game's release so I'm looking forward to taking a fresh stab at it.

Emmpeefourdashtwelvecee in "Historic Orange"
Very excellent.
And it has a Ron Dennis Quote-o-matic on the dash board too... How does this thing work... Push the Button (Sorry Jenson)...Here we go... (Ouch!)
"When I came into motor racing so many things were a black art. But black art was a cloak for 'we don't really know'. It was intuitive engineering. I decided to make it a science. We will develop science to take away uncertainty to make winning a certainty."
Right on

The DeltaWing is a whole new beast to tame, she drives differently than anything else. Once you learn where, when and how to use the throttle and brakes she is very fast and hella fun to drive 👍

Cizeta-Moroder V16T.
why, because giorgio scarface sountrack, daft punk collaborating moroder had a very small hand in it.
seriously, never knew that. was amazing to read that in the info.
really liked how nimble and cracked out it was. one small hair touch on the gas and it's goodbye.
love it.

The 2009 Honda Insight.
The 24M of Nurburgring can't get enough of that car.

OMFG… Stumbled across an absolute gem today, from a random impulse buy: the Amuse Nismo 380RS Super Leggera. Easily overlooked because it's not the most expensive or last in the Amuse list but goodness me it's awesome stock, straight out of the garage. I only changed the brakes to Racing - as all performance cars have a ceramic, race-style option these days anyway. On the track it somehow feels like it has real weight. The throttle response is super smooth bottom to top in all gears and it because it feels so planted it's like it's on rails. I took it for an IA race round Tokyo and it was just a dream. A real joy to drive.

Not sure if it was "today" or yesterday, but I bought one of the Opel Speedsters just for a color. Not sure what color name it was, but it was a beautiful blue color, kind of like a Sapphire Blue. Some of you probably know blue is my favorite color. I immediately painted my Tommykaira ZZII with that Opel Speedster's blue color once I got it. The only problem was that I didn't know what color type it was classified as until I saw it among the pearl colors.
In fact, I am buying some cars in GT6 just to expand my color collection. I even bought a Toyota Bb/Scion xB because I didn't have a black color. I used that black to paint my Lamborghini Diablo GT2.

Not really a "Buy" but I actually used my AMGVGT Race series car.
And was not happy with the colour scheme I did choose. Green with Yellow detail work... But on track it is a really washed out "pistachio ice cream" green.
Drives well enough - So I may end up selling this prize car and getting another version of it... Maybe the "BrawnGP" livery. 5 years ago.... wow.

Heh well I sold the thing today, so I'd be interested academically to know the specifics of how to tune and what driving style it takes, but I've given up on actually making the thing behave myself since nothing I did to the setup made any difference and its tendency to deny your attempts to trace a line and then suddenly snap into a spin for no apparent reason... GT6 still has its limitations so I stop driving cars if they risk making me hate them (and therefore the real car that seemed so cool
Glad it might just be me so fire away
