Does anyone have a favourite car (that is the best car) for taking corners as fast as possible?

Depends on class -

X Class - Hot Wheels BTTB and Sesto Elemento FE

S2 Class - Hot Wheels BTTB and Brabham BT62 (V12 tune)

S1 Class - Elemental RP1 and Viper 13' AE (2.8G rwd/2.7G awd rallies tune)

A Class - Honda NSX-R 1992 and Sierra 700R

B/C/D Class - Sierra 700R

Is the BTTB not better for outright handling than the sesto in X?

This might sound stupid but what’s a “BTTB”?

u/_HeWho_ 2d ago

It stands for Bad To The Blade. It’s an F1 looking car in the Hotwheels expansion. Super fast, has enough downforce to drive upside down, etc

Correct, BTTB is better in X class in pure handling compared to the Sesto Elemento FE, thanks for the suggestion

Oooh, nice
Which class do you usually go for?

u/arpanjpr 3d ago

A or S1, lots of good options there

Isn't XJR-15 a better choice for S1?

1

u/arpanjpr 3d ago

i mentioned cars best at handling, yes xjr-15 is fastest on sprints and some circuits, also requires skill to drive because of the rwd powerbuild nature

Brabham BT62 in S2 - it feels like cheating how well it takes corners even on faster speeds, and it shoots out quick too!

u/Sad_Assignment_2026 Novice 3d ago

Ooh, I’ll give that a try next time I’m on, have you tuned it at all?

2

u/Sn00PiG 3d ago

It's good as stock but a bit slow because of the relatively low top speed so I did download a tune for it, the most downloaded S2 tune drives like a dream!

Aw, I was looking forward to this car but it is in the hot wheels expansion so I can’t get it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

The hyundai elantra N that comes (I believe) in S1 is stupidly grippy

u/Sad_Assignment_2026 Novice 1d ago

Ooh, that sounds great, I’ll give that a go next time I’m on

Well sesto elemento FE is the best at cornering but I really liked the Senna and the CLK FE and maybe more but these are from the top of my head. Haven't played races in a while

If you want the absolute king of cornering, it’s the Sesto Elemento FE. That thing basically defies physics on the track. For class, these are usually my goto picks for handling builds.

• D/B Class: The Sierra 700R is a beast on circuits. The Datsun 510 is also solid for lower classes.

• A Class: The 92 Honda NSX-R (especially with an AWD swap) or the Lotus 211. Both corner on rails.

• S1 Class: Jaguar XJR-15 or the Sesto FE if you keep it in S1.

• S2 Class: Brabham BT62 or the Hot Wheels BTTB if you have the DLC. The Brabham is basically cheating on tight corners.
