Hey NoDo,
I'm posting to see if anyone can provide insight as to how best to approach the Feltzer. I just can't seem to get the hang of it.
I'm about 1.1 seconds per lap off the pace of my Massacro at Cutting Coroners. I know it has the traction advantage, but I can't seem to manage the oversteer consistently in order to close the gap.
It seems that braking early and relying on half-throttle to stabilize the Feltzer through the corner is the best bet. But it still seems way off the pace.
Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated.

If oversteer is the problem my tips would be to only push the left stick fully to the sides when turning at lower speeds. Don't try to brake and turn at the same time. Also Cutting Coroners isn't really the best track for the Feltzer. The Fletzer tends to dominate on tracks with high speed sweeping corners. The Massacro is probably going to be quicker than the Feltzer round Coroners because of its good acceleration out of the slow corners and its top speed down the start/finish and back straights. Try tracks like Apex Predator, Holy Drift Mountain and other tracks that have a similar feel to utilise the Feltzer's traction through those high-speed corners. Also don't use the Feltzer just because a lot have people have started using it recently, use whatever is comfortable for you. Personally I'm not a fan of the Feltzer on tracks like Cutting Coroners and would much prefer the Massacro or Elegy on those tracks which require a bit more grip. Hope this helps

Thanks VX!
I ended up trading the Feltzer in for a Jester today. I prefer the understeer/high grip of the Jester, even if it is slower than the Feltzer in a straight line.
It feels like a baby Zentorno.

If the Jester had a bit more power I'd definitely get it.

Drive a dominator then drive a feltzer Feather the throttle through a corner rather than full blast the first chance you get Master it in high speed corners first then work it down to slower ones

For more powerful tracks, I have the Massacro.

Ended up selling the Jester. Very fun car and I enjoyed the grip it had, but the car was getting routinely smoked in races on the straights.
Seems to not have the low end torque out of the corners and I keep getting bumped from Behind on the straights in it.
Purchased a Feltzer instead and have been able to manage the oversteer much better after racing more with the Dominator. The oversteer isn't bad, just have to watch my throttle inputs and think "slow in, fast out." It can assist with getting around the corner a bit quicker on certain tracks and the turn-in is immense.

Feltzer over the jester. However I tend to use both of the cars. The jester has the top speed and feltzer has the Acceleration.
Its a difficult decision over the 2 but once I master the handling of the feltzer I may keep it. Although drving a dominator in free roam really helps!

I really dont like the Feltzer it does not suite my driving style, but after reading this i have realised that i have been using it on the wrong tracks. I still think i'll sell it and use the elegy in it's stead. But the Massacro will be my main and i also have a Sultan for those Hipster races. Sultan is a really nice car and greatly underrated, aint that right Lupacia💕

I've been using the 9F quite a bit to get used to a more oversteer-prone car. Really helped when moving back to the Feltzer.
The Massacro's extreme understeer really kind of sucks on more technical tracks. It's great for tracks like North Loop and Choke Specialists GP, but I find that anything fairly technical it's quite the bear to get around the twisty stuff.
Really, the Feltzer seems to be the best choice for just about every track you may find yourself in. Handles great, has a good top speed, accelerates pretty well, has grip, etc. The only car I *may* prefer in sports is the Jester, but the Jester lacks the top speed, even though it has the acceleration.

Ive been wondering where the sudden surge in popularity of the Feltzer has come from. Ive always stuck with the Elegy since the game started, I have been thinking about trying the Massacro out as a second choice for high speed tracks but the Feltzer may be worth condsidering instead then???

The Feltzer is really probably the best car aside from the elegy. Great turning radius, fast, good top speed, etc. It's a kickass choice. With that said, I will probably sell mine and pick up a Jester and Massacro. The Jester feels most like the Turismo and I like my cars to feel similar across classes. I'll probably get a Massacro for power tracks.

I just picked up a love for the Feltzer, the car is good. Definitely a new style to drive it compared to the brute force style of the Massacro.

I have been using the Feltzer for a month or so and i have come to master it i love the car and i will use it over any car and when you've mastered it, it doesnt matter what track the feltzer can compete and can get very similar or even faster laptimes than the elegy and massacro
