Hello everybody.
I really like racing on GTA but I'm not very good. I'm gonna start up a PC weekend playlist for people like me who aren't very good. I remember a while ago people recommended the 9F to learn with, but I'm not sold on using a car that I won't actually use once I am good so would really only want to use a top tier car. I feel like I would like the races to be all with one class so we can track our performance, but I'm torn between Supers or Sports. I like that if I got to grips with the Nero it would be good on stunt tracks. I hear the Vagner is RWD and a little tough to control, while also being very quick. I know everyone says the Elegy is OP but I spin out a lot. Not sure if getting good with this would translate to other cars. Feltzer is the best non OP sports car and RWD, which is better for learning? Maybe I should go with the 9f or something else though?
Thanks for any feedback, will post again soon when I get the playlist up and running.

I know, mine won't be an event, just a non contact playlist to get faster.

Tempesta is an easy supercar, Jester easy sports car

Personally I wouldn't say that this would help, because in NoDo we mostly do contact racing so learning to drive quick solo is all well and good, but it's a lot different racing with up to 29 other people where overtaking and defending skills are required. The Welcome to NoDo Weekly PL that jt33396 linked is probably the best place to start in my opinion.

Racecraft obviously not, but raw speed yes

Racecraft obviously not, but raw speed yes True but if you can't transfer that pace you've gained from hotlapping to racing with 30 players on contact then it's not useful. From personal experience starting by just racing with others in playlists and what not even if it means finishing last every time for a while is beneficial.

Being so far off the pace that all I was doing was trying not to crash and spoil the race for others was no fun at all. I've done a hotlapping playlist before and it was pretty good. We all improved somewhat. This time I really wanna try harder though.

If you feel hotlapping is more beneficial to you then fair enough.

Learn to control the pisswasser dominator and you've learned to control a good majority of the other cars

I think its fine doing non contact particularly when learning a track. My general plan when practicing for events is to do some solo sessions first to learn the car and the track and then later try to race around with other people to see where I'm losing time.
In terms of cars I think its fine to use one of the easier cars to drive like the Jester or Stirling GT as the cars are more forgiving. I did join your previous playlist and it was useful to try the 9F but even after lots of laps in it I still find I'm not that comfortable driving it. Out of the cars in the OP I would probably pick the Vagner as I find it quite forgiving whilst the rear can still slide.

Though I feel the 9F or Comet are good cars to learn in. And the 9F can compete against the Feltzer in the right hands. Most cars around Comet pace can take on the upper tier with enough practice
