    What are you favourite car+track combinations and why?

    I'll start off:

    BMW M1 Procar + Bathurst/Mount Panorama. The explosive sound of the straight 6 and that fartcan of an exhaust, the twists from Skyline down to the Dipper. It's just feels perfect to me. The handling, the sound, the looks. My favourite combination for sure.

    There are several combinations that I love to drive. But currently my favourite combo is the Cup Porsche at the new Lausitzring GP layout.
    I never liked Lausitzring, but this layout is fun and squeezing tenth after tenth out of the Cup Porsche just feels rewarding.

    Other favs include
    Fabcar 935 + Bathurst, BMW M3 + Stowe, Camaro GT3 + Mantorp or Lada Vesta + Zolder and of course Porsche GT3 + Spa :)

    man... just drove the Cayman GT4 CS around Road America.. what a sound in the replay... especially fixed camera under the bridge after the 90deg left at the end of the long straight. squeaking brakes sound so nice then :-D

    Chang full + Gr. 5
    The odd couple. I know many people don't care for the track, but it works amazingly well with the classic high-power cars.

    Imola + FR3
    Favourite track in general probably, and makes for very interesting low-tier open wheeler races.

    Raceroom Hillclimb + everything
    Just wish we had more of these technical hillclimb tracks...

    Any car and track combo i feel fast in even if im not ;)
    Flavour of the month right now Nords and the Zacspeed Capri, been my favourite combo since Nords came to RR, the track no matter what car is a challenge to drive a good time on, with the Capri when it all hooks up properly is awesome, then theres the feeling, catching and holding the rear end on the limit or taking a right hander flat out with your wheel turning to the left :) And the noise, that scream at high revs and the burble and pop as you lift off, perfect combination for me!

    Traditionally it's been Laguna Seca though Road America has quickly become another favorite to throw cars around on.

    If I pick a track + class it's hard to go wrong with the 12 laps of Bathurst in GT3s. :D

    Suzuka is one of my favourites as well, it's such a challenging track!

    Chang is a great circuit, I love it for FRX-Feeder Series cars ;) the F4 especially.

    Got to agree with the Chang bit, technically quite challenging, penultimate complex is decisively tricky and although tragically underused makes for some great racing, tried just about all the cars around it and they all just seem to fit, most peculiar indeed. Well worth the Wonga!

    I'll join the Chang-fans group here - it looks dull, but I had some really entertaining races in F3 and WTCC cars there :)

    Another underused/underrated track imho is Moscow. Be it modern DTM or WTCC, I enjoyed every single race there

    I have had a lot of combination favorites. Right now mine is any formula car on monza. I never really liked that track with the GT cars. Seems to me it was made for open wheels.
    Another combo that occurs to me is the m1 pro car at Salzburg. The long straights combined with and rolling curves really suits the m1’s design.

    I thought it was the same engine they used?

    Exhausts and all that might make the difference ;)
