THR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Hardest to drive

Id love to know how different people rate driving these cars, put um in order of trickyness to drive. say fast enough to put you mid grid.

while some cars are higher up the ladder, that doesnt mean the are easier to drive, due to things like radial/slicks/treaded/crosspile tires... wings.. power availible... setup. etc.

The only one I could comment on is the FFord. And it was a long time ago. They had the directional contol of a javelin unless you got your braking just right. Great fun.

goughy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Raced FF1600 this year. The art of driving these is to drift the car. Because of the Avon grooved tyre, once you loose grip they are quite forgiving as they still give a little grip back which enables the car to drift.

A true slick on the otherhand has the effect of once the grip is lost, there is no grip at all, which makes them less forgiving when pushed to the limit.

This is why many people of the forums say they enjoy watching the 1600's more than the Zetec's because as a rule they do drift that much more.
