    yes, very fun..if you turn down the traction control and ABS, it is even more fun
    Another similar thing to it is DTM 2020, without ABS and traction control to make the silhouette more difficult to drive

    Yes they are, though they are fictional cars. They feel something between DTM2016 - 20, but with TC & ABS

    I like them. Maybe the best balanced car in the sim. Docile, you can really stomp on it and it never disagrees. Whenever it pops up in a comp I do it.

    I would love to see the V8 Stars Series. Also a Silhouette race series with a ford v8 engine. That was a great Series back in the days

    :DSILHOUETTES MENTIONED!!!!!
    they're a good car the more you know what you're doing, the issue is they're all over the place right now and one is completely noncompetitive. they very much need Alex or Thomas going over them again. they also teach really really bad driving habits.
    i do tend to like them a lot, quite high aero, way more TC and abs than those cars need, they could be better than they are

    They would also benefit from a slight rebranding - give them more distinct names than just letters-numbers because right now they create a bit too similar impression, it's hard to tell them apart and remember which one is which. Many people even assume they are the same car underneath. I play this game for several years already, but I still only remember one car, the one that's mid-engine, the rest are just 1st, 2nd and 3rd to me. If you secretly change their order in class I would never notice this.

    the 1s are front engined sedans the 2s are mid engined hatches. parity desperately needs to be addressed and small things tweaked, theyre not working great currently

    You sure the other hatch is mid-engined too? I assumed that since only one car has this in its description, the others are all front-engined...

    Upd: Can't be it, its behavior is closer to coupes than the other hatch, and unlike in the other hatch you can't see the engine in its trunk, instead there's a fuel tank right in the middle of it.
