Am i a masochist for starting with the Audi? It's what I used on AC so I just went on with it... now I'm kinda afraid of kerbs lol (Monza, Imola, Bathurst are the first tracks that come to mind). Is it something that can be fixed with setups or should I just try to main another car? Not sure, I get mixed feelings with it. It's a blast to drive around Spa for example (I can manage mid-high 2:19's with the Evo II) but at Monza (I get Ascari nightmares at night) and Nurburgring it feels like ass. (I do something like 1:51's and high 1:58's, yikes). Maybe I'm still bad at these tracks though
I agree with ferrari 488 evo is good to cornering for beginners. but, how about new audi r8 lms evo ll? I think old audi r8 lms evo is unstable to cornering. so, at first I'm very embarassed to car. but, new dlc's audi lms evo ll is a little bit more stable with corners and good balanced than old one. hmm. a hard controlled thing is a little left. yet, how about your opinion?
My top five is 5: Porsche because is short 4: Porsche because is agile 3: Porsche because is fun to drive 2: Porsche because looks beautiful 1: Porsche because I don't like other cars as much as I like the Porsche Wait, this was a tier list for rookie cars. I missed the point sorry, but probably because I started with the Porsche :)
I picked the Porsche because it was hard which made it fun to try and learn the game while taming this beast. Still wants to kill me while braking under heavy loads.
I tried all the cars and found the Porsche easiest. I'm not a particularly fast driver, but I am noticeably faster in the Porsche than any other car. I don't get on with the Cup version that's in the recent DLC though.
To be honest I can not drive other cars only porsche... I am not fast, I am about 3-5seconds slower than the most driver, but I am much slower with everything else. :D (1:50 monza)
I started with the Porsche and learned a fruitful lesson when I pushed it harder and harder. It's usually not the fastest car for me but definitely makes me gain the skills to drive other cars faster. And the car has its personality :P great fun to drive
I started with the Huracan GT3 and never looked back 😂 For real though, I’ve found that after spending literally years in the Lambo, I’ve gained so much in understanding oversteer and understeer. Once I tamed the bull, everything else just felt like a nice easy drive 👍🏼
I'm doing the same thing. It's hard to understand what I am learning or not learning vs. everybody else because it's the only car I have ever raced apart from a handful of one offs.
I can't disagree with that, at least you sort out everything about rear/mid engine cars in terms of driving style, trailbraking, weight transfer and all
For me it was the relative surprise Lexus, not as competitive in an experienced field but easy to setup, decent tire wear, good in mid and fast corners and the best, most stable and quickest in the rain. The Lexus is also very consistent from track to track...unless it's a track with long straights, I find it to be a fun, consistent and predictable car. Avoid sausage curbs though! Finally, it sounds amazing! Great video Jards, thank you sir!
@@cakarbilal bit harder to handle and less aero than m4 but I have to agree, that it has more balanced pace across the tracks than m4 and bit more of high speed (Lex 266 km/h on kemmel straight braking vs 262-263 bmw on stock aero settings). It's' just bit snappy outta slow/mid corners, so bit harder for rookies imo. Requires bit different driving technique. But sound and funwise great car. Im 0.1-0.3s faster usually with BMW tho, depending on track.
The Lexus was my first car as well. However, I later changed to the Bentley, because the a-pillar of the Lexus obstructed too much of my FOV and I couldn't find a solution for this.
Speaking as a bit of a noob - the Lexus is my favourite car by far. Really easy to drive consistently, great on curbs so you can claw back some time on the field
Im dedicated to the 2019 Porsche. First car i started playing with. Moved around to other cars but always come back. I think the BB is one huge factor when people constantly lose the car on initial turn in. But once you get the feel the car rotates very well as long as you are smooth on gas and brake. Im a few seconds off race pace but pretty comfortable pushing the car and staying consistent… just keep focus cause the car will try and kill you
I think he said in a stream that It was planned to be his merch but because of copy right issues he couldn't use it Hope I could help you even after 2 months
5:12 5:37 MOM I'M ON TV! Also Bentley is great for rookies, frist time I tried it on Daz's setup when I went into Maggots and lifted I spun immediately :D Would recommend
That's the only car I haven't tried, will try tonight. I love how you can feel like you can't even go 1km faster and a Lamborghini smokes past you and breaks down on a dime before the tight curves. Every car so different
The Mercedes AMG GT3 is my favorite. It suits my driving style. My goal is to learn to master the Porsche 911 GT3. It has a higher potential in handling but setting up the car is alot harder.
I've recently come back to Acc after 18 months away from sim racing so tested as a "rookie" and found the Aston was pretty unpredictable under braking and for me, the nsx worked great, not only was it feeling safe and predictable but easy to "knuckle down" and push for a few extra tenths.
I'm a Porsche guy - so I drive Porsche in ACC as well. Dialing out the oversteering in the CDA setups works for me quite well; I'm not the fastest, but I don't care. The best thing for me is to have the Frikadelli livery in the game - my tribute to Sabine Schmitz
Thank You sincerely! You gave me the help i needed, because this weekend (FINALLY) i am going to do some changes on my simrig :) Keep up the good work!!!!
I went for the Jaguar XK. No idea why, but when I was trying out other cars, it felt like it suited my style the best - massive power and speed on straights, because I can't do corners very well. If I can stay with the car in front, they're pretty much dead once we're at the end of the main straight and it's braking time. 2nd pick is the AMG GT, also massive power, but less than the Jaguar and incredibly neutral handling. Kind of like a butler, you tell it what you need, and it will process your request and deliver not exactly the way you want it to, but the way it should. And that counts for something
I've tried most of the available cars, but I keep coming back to the McLaren. It just feels "right" for me, although I'm usually 4-6 seconds off of any race pace. At least I (barely) qualified for LFM with it...
For me M4 is the easiest - rear end grip outta corners is just enormous, and it's very balanced. Suits my driving style very well as im faster with it than in Aston (although im not a rookie anymore lol). Much better aero than Lexus in stock form (im able to take Eau Rouge flat out - not always the case in Lex with same speed).
@@tooeasy1100I think people just meme on how the front grille looks. But i agree, on the GT3 with the widebody the front grille doesn't look out of place. And the car as a whole looks nice.
I just got assetto corsa like 2 weeks ago. First i drove with the ferrari, then the mclaren, and now the aston martin. i went a second quicker at brands hatch with the mclaren than i did with the ferrari, and a second quicker with the aston than i did with the mclaren. my time currently is 1:26.2 (i think i made a mistake in that lap aswell)
Coincidently, I spoke with the lead mechanic of the Bullitt racing team about their new Aston Vantage GT3 that they were test driving during a trackday at the new Spa circuit, around 2 months ago. He confirmed that the new Vantage GT3 is very well balanced on the track. So maybe your number 1 is spot on in RL as well ;) FYI, he also said that new AMG engine is fantastic. Low consumption and very reliable for GT3 racing. Contrary to what the haters say, Aston made the right choice to equip their new Vantage with a German but very modern engine, also for the public roads…
Thanks Jards I started with Lambo because I love the looks and the sound but found it was a bit sketchy, so last few months been driving the Maclaren much more balanced. Thanks for the insight 👍👍👍
From pure viewer viewpoint (that probably won't have sim-setup for next few years) it looks pretty fair list - sure, some cars might dominate certain tracks but for longer "season" it evens out. And - that Ferrari "spin" seems very familiar. I wonder if it even was Jardier in car, hmmm? Keep up great racing - greetings from Samirland (Latvia)
couldnt agree more with the aston martin at number 1, super stable both in the corners and under braking. although it seems fast i wouldnt put the bentley in there, i find its default setups extremely oversteery and the car (from experience) is extremely hard to catch. i would probably replace it with the lexus as that can be extremely stable on both aggressive and safe presets aswell as being very dominate in wet conditions :)
I'm a Ferrari guy. I tried the other cars mentioned in this video (and others) and NOTHING compares to the Ferrari. Now, that being said, you have to know how to drive a Ferrari. To me, it has some absolutely amazing perks, and if you know how to take advantage of them, it screams on the track. First, you have to rev the crap out of it. It likes to live in the red line. And if you know how to do that, not only will it have screaming power out of a curve, but it engine brakes like a champ. If you don't know to do that, the engine will bog a lot, and it will never be as powerful as it can be. Second, the brakes are VERY touchy. It's not the kind of car you can slam on the brakes and coast. Engine and trail braking techniques are a must. Lastly, as mentioned, curbs can really unsettle the car. Badly. It will spin out immediately if you get too far into a curb and hit the sausage even a little. And as an extra added bonus, the sound of the engine is heavenly! Great video!
@@UsmanKhan-coolmf the point I failed at making was pick any car, and learn on it. Especially if it's a car you always loved, you'll drive more and get better.
Recently bought this. So far my favorite has been the Bentley and 720S. But, for now, I'm using a controller so it'll probably change when I get a wheel. Im setting aside money for a wheel, probably a T300 RS GT.
Everything on the list makes 100% sense, just my personal taste is that I do not like the Aston because its so user friendly, so it caused me to learn bad habits that I had to learn off when I switched cars
I started as a rookie, and felt the Mercedes non evo version is actually a good car. I tried the Ferrari, but the Ferrari is too tight. Mercedes is really good
I found out today that mclaren fits my style, i dont know anything about setup, i like to agressivly trail break and get a slight bit of understeer, so mclaren was best for me
As a NOOB,I didn't finnish great in the Rookie school. So, out of the cars I was offered,, I picked the McLaren 650s to start. Being new I figured I would just learn to drive what I was offered not knowing any better. When I get in something a little more forgiving, maybe I'll be that much better. Loving ACC for sure👍🏁
I absolutely love that car, drive it on all sims. I just love the way it behaves at this point feels fully natural to me. One other car I'm eyeing is the Audi Evo 2, but it's gonna take some affort to pull me away from the Merc.
That's what I was going to say as well. I found the Merc to be the most forgiving cars to start out with. It's fast with the ACC pre configured set ups and easy on a noob when making changes learning how to set up cars. Also I felt it didnt punish you to harshly when you over did it setting it up or trying new things. On top of that it loves eating curbs in Imola/Zolder/Monza so you can take bad angles and still gain time lol.
As much as my first ever championship was done in the Porsche 2019, I always had myself a lot of issues with multiple issues, as much as the car was fast and I finished that season with a single point (F1 style with 15ish drivers), ever since the Audi Evo II came out I’ve been nonstop with it
I enjoy these types of videos, I had been driving the Aston to start with for a long time and now switching to the M4 a little bit. I would be interested to know your thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of all cars on the latest patches if anything significant changes like it did with 1.8
I just bought ACC. I will start off by saying I used to play when it first came out years ago on PS4 I just bought it on PC.& I play a lot of iracing..but for ACC I absolutely love the McLaren. Ferrari I kept crashing turning mid speed corners I had the hardest time staying on track
@@reynaldiwidjaja277 After the monza dry , wet , night test you have a group of cars you can choose from to drive . I just started a new season with Porsche 911.
Have there been many changes since this video was made ? LOL My choice was the Jaaaaaag to start in and i love it some much but it hurts me all the time
For front engine cars, I love the Jag too! Sometimes the dampers are too low, making it a bit skiddish, but it sounds great and turns eagerly for a front engine car.
Why is the Ferrari here, it's not only tricky on the setup side, but also you CAN'T, simply CAN'T use kerbs, how is a rookie supposed to race it? (words from a rookie)
I actually started on the porche and loved it. But changed to mclaren 720s because the porche was so slow on the straight and I just don't get to play as much now.
I started with Porsche 911 GT3 R (2018) because that and a Jaguar were my only 2 options after Lambo challenges in career mode, my thought process was: If even I, who till now have not been into cars, have heard of the 911 must mean is a great car, right?
I think this list is how to start and be competitive quickly. If you're not an experienced driver you might find it hard to drive McLaren for example. I think the best car for a beginner is the GTR! Super safe you never really lose the rear and with lower level competition you dont notice the speed difference so much.
I thought I was crazy when I started driving the 720s because it did not like trail braking... or at least it did not like the way I did trail braking coming from other cars like the Ferrari and Mercedes. It seems to like (for me anyway) being a little harder on the brakes both applying them and lifting... and then powering through. It is really a very different experience.
when we took teh v8 vantage to the actuall bop test. we where the fastest car down the back straight at rickard hands down. got told off for it being to fast
I have no way driven so many hours in this game compared to others but in this little time I found the AMG and 720S worked so far good for me. But definitely will try the others you mentioned!
I got a 1:57:345 during the young drivers test in career mode . I improved from a 2:02 time. I ask you what AI level should I go with? I chose normal for this new season . FYI I choose the Porsche 911 GT3 this time . I am trying to log laps in new cars at a challenge . Last go I used the McLaren 659s and I was seconds fasters than the AI. I want a competitive AI.
Porsche is #1 on Jardier's worst 5 cars. You have to be super skilled and make the car super dangerous, and if you can handle it, it's super OP. But if you make it safe to drive, you'll be the slowest on the track...
Generally agree with the list! Though I may consider swapping McLaren with Audi R8. Reason being, I found the McLaren catching me out at times with weird snaps of traction. The Audi was similar in terms of level of nervousness, but I rarely saw the weird snappiness that made me hesitant in medium speed corners in the McLaren.
What i dont understand is that i can drive pretty well in open wheel single seaters across different games, but im so slow in GT cars and it’s so frustrating
Started with Ferrari Evo when I first got my Fanatec rig a couple of years ago. I still drive that Ferrari Evo today. Are you telling me this game har OTHER cars!?
I started with ACC recently and I was making my own list, by going through all tracks and cars and give them a proper try. I came to similar car list. 1. Nissan 2. Ferrari 3. Mclaren 4. BMW 5. Aston Martin 4 out of 5 cars matched your list, but Bentley didn't make it for me at all. It just doesn't inspire confidence at all in me and I find it difficult to push without losing control frequently. I have several cars above it, that I feel much more comfortable to push in. I would replace Bentley with Mercedes, Lamborghini or Nissan as all of those feel more stable, nimble or confidence inspiring than Bentley to me. I haven't done any endurance events and didn't try to create my own setups, so when I start doing those, I might change my opinion about Bentley.
Yeah, the Bentley feels suicidal and needs high TC or you'll spin out exiting every turn. But my inexperienced attitude makes me feel inadequate that I need to rely on high TC just to not spin out...
Here's what I guessed it was going to be; Aston Mclaren Bentley BMW Lexus Forgot about Ferrari, always found it hard to get good lap times with but it feels very fast. I started a few months ago with Aston V12 (oops) then Lexus and now the mighty HOONDA. Much love to you Jards
2 cars which I love McLaren and the Ferrari . But sadly i can't get the Ferrari EVO 😞 . Do u think the Ferrari 488 gt3 can compete in lfm and all .not the evo tho
do the e-sports thing and go full left on toe and camber on all 4 wheels. Yeah, it's just a game, so the physics can be exploited. It's the best treatment for understeer. Unfortunately, every time they do some kind of update that affects physics, all the tunings go out the window. Thus the topic being endless...
Nah, man, you have to try out every car. the one that Feels right is the One that IS right. Unless winning is your only reward. Then the Aston definitely isn't it. This is a rookie best car to learn the game and start on list... The Ferrari is the WORST at curbs and shouldn't be on the Beginner's list at all. I'd say the McLaren is somewhat bad on curbs too. You have to feel out every car. Don't be ashamed to molest all of them. Pick the one that makes you smile like your avatar pic!
Nice vid. As a rookie I drove Lexus and old 488 (pre update) in my first leagues. But now I really enjoy 720S. I could not drive porsche before but now I'm getting used to it, you definitely need to get your head prepared for it though, you cannot be lazy!! Would be cool to see what you do as a driver going between front engine, mid engine, and rear engine cars. I am not good enough to adapt, so I just choose cars that suit my driving style, rather than trying to change my driving per car. For example I cannot get the Aston V8 to turn in!!
What’s your thoughts on the newer AUDI evo ii for a noobie. I’ve been in the macca for x2 seasons but I’m getting over it’s terrible curb behaviour… I tested the audi the other day and it feels very similar to the macca but tends to handle curbs nicer.
Yes, Jardier. No mention of the Audi Evo II in either the top 5 best or worst? But It's one of the most popular cars in your live streams... The Porsche, Honda, Bummer and Ferrari are on those lists, but the Audi II is absent, even though you complain about it sometimes... Is the Audi II just middle of the pack? I mean it's really guud for skilled racers, but is it all that for a rookie??? I think it's top 3 fastest for me, but feels a little stiff or weird. But I'm just a rook.
The new Audi is also good beginner car - it drives a bit like the MacLaren but doesn't die on curbs as easily compared to the MacLaren As a beginner myself I can't seem to drive the Bentley or Aston. I spin out in those 2 cars so easily even when I try to be careful on the throttle. I don't have the same issue with mid engine cars, and even the Porsche is easier to drive in that regard.
When I started I was on the Audi then moved to McLaren, the McLaren will spin if you lift off the throttle through corners, it almost needs brake and throttle at the same time but not too much throttle, just enough to balance it entering a corner.
Yeah that's a mid-engined car thing, some are more affected than others, but mid-corner liftoff oversteer, or as it's also known, snap oversteer, is a danger in those cars. Particularly with the Lambo, I feel.
@@varyagace yep that’s why after I learned the basics I went to front engine cars. The only car I can drive aggressively like a front engine car is the Ferrari evo, managed to set it up that way.
the ferrari is lovely and challenging in the same time it's only problem is the bumpy kerbs ; the car behavior is unpredictable in this kind of situations switched to it after a long long journey with the 720s when I was a rookie
Guys is the meta to shift exactly when the blue dots are blinking? I feel like i do everything perfect and shift on the redline and the "indicator" shows impressive but still, somehow cars fly past me. I wonder if im shifting too late. Should i always shift up quickly ? In curves im doing great but on flats many cars fly past me like nothing even though i pedal to the metal
The Aston V8 on Xbox is a handful to drive. Granted it was the car I started with but the Lexus, NSX EVO, Bentley and M6 were easier to deal with. That was in 2020 though
The Porsche is not beginner friendly and yet the Carrera Cup is one of the longest-running one-make series in the world with championships going even as far down as the national level in some countries
Which one is the best car for the rookie drivers in your opinion? Do you agree with my list?
How about the new Audi (Evo 2)?
I personally feel most comfortable in either the McLaren or the AMG
Am i a masochist for starting with the Audi? It's what I used on AC so I just went on with it... now I'm kinda afraid of kerbs lol (Monza, Imola, Bathurst are the first tracks that come to mind).

@@Ramp73 From my limited experience with it, it is pretty safe and predictable. I am very slow, but I get similar laptimes with most cars I tried.
I agree with ferrari 488 evo is good to cornering for beginners.

I think old audi r8 lms evo is unstable to cornering. so, at first I'm very embarassed to car.
but, new dlc's audi lms evo ll is a little bit more stable with corners and good balanced than old one.
hmm. a hard controlled thing is a little left. yet,

4: Porsche because is agile
3: Porsche because is fun to drive
2: Porsche because looks beautiful
1: Porsche because I don't like other cars as much as I like the Porsche

If I see Porsche, I fan-boy over it

Ive got 30h in ACC and I started with Lambo and I like it the most. I just feel the car and it is predictible for me
Exactly. And it rotates easily - you just tap on the throttle.
The R8 Evo 2 is my absolute favourite now. Very stable for the most part, but stills feel exciting to drive. Only downside is that it hates curbs.

Great oversight. Thinking of buying this instead of gt7 and practice using wheel and pedals
This is a damn good video, and now I’m half tempted to get ACC now, overall very good video
just get it with all dlc's, especially track ones, see you on the tracks :)
Bro I bought it last week and been driving and driving. Everything is so complete and the game and cars runs so good.
I'm a Porsche guy - so I drive Porsche in ACC as well. Dialing out the oversteering in the CDA setups works for me quite well; I'm not the fastest, but I don't care.
The best thing for me is to have the Frikadelli livery in the game - my tribute to Sabine Schmitz
Yes! When I found that livery I was so happy. Don't care the car is tricky to drive or setup or maybe not the fastest.

Gotta agree, I saved around 1.2 seconds on every track with the M4, I was using the ferrari behforehand.
Same here. M4 is my go-to. Also, against common opinions, i do like how it looks.
forgot to add - M4 is also very nice on the curbs, it's hard to bottom it out
@@tooeasy1100I think people just meme on how the front grille looks. But i agree, on the GT3 with the widebody the front grille doesn't look out of place. And the car as a whole looks nice.
I just got assetto corsa like 2 weeks ago. First i drove with the ferrari, then the mclaren, and now the aston martin. i went a second quicker at brands hatch with the mclaren than i did with the ferrari, and a second quicker with the aston than i did with the mclaren. my time currently is 1:26.2 (i think i made a mistake in that lap aswell)
i agree with your list. i’m pretty new to ACC and i found myself being about a second faster a lap with the bmw m4 than with any other car
Coincidently, I spoke with the lead mechanic of the Bullitt racing team about their new Aston Vantage GT3 that they were test driving during a trackday at the new Spa circuit, around 2 months ago. He confirmed that the new Vantage GT3 is very well balanced on the track. So maybe your number 1 is spot on in RL as well ;)
FYI, he also said that new AMG engine is fantastic. Low consumption and very reliable for GT3 racing.
Contrary to what the haters say, Aston made the right choice to equip their new Vantage with a German but very modern engine, also for the public roads…
Thanks Jards I started with Lambo because I love the looks and the sound but found it was a bit sketchy, so last few months been driving the Maclaren much more balanced. Thanks for the insight 👍👍👍
exactly the same for me
love the lambo sound and looks, hate the lap times. love the mclaren oversteery handling
If you start with the lambo you gonna learn the hard school! It only makes you a better driver :D
From pure viewer viewpoint (that probably won't have sim-setup for next few years) it looks pretty fair list - sure, some cars might dominate certain tracks but for longer "season" it evens out.
And - that Ferrari "spin" seems very familiar. I wonder if it even was Jardier in car, hmmm?
Keep up great racing - greetings from Samirland (Latvia)
Hahhaha not me driving but Samir "the40kmhspinner" Foch :D
Samirland? Sir Foch's got a place for himself now?
couldnt agree more with the aston martin at number 1, super stable both in the corners and under braking. although it seems fast i wouldnt put the bentley in there, i find its default setups extremely oversteery and the car (from experience) is extremely hard to catch. i would probably replace it with the lexus as that can be extremely stable on both aggressive and safe presets aswell as being very dominate in wet conditions :)
I'm a Ferrari guy. I tried the other cars mentioned in this video (and others) and NOTHING compares to the Ferrari. Now, that being said, you have to know how to drive a Ferrari. To me, it has some absolutely amazing perks, and if you know how to take advantage of them, it screams on the track. First, you have to rev the crap out of it. It likes to live in the red line. And if you know how to do that, not only will it have screaming power out of a curve, but it engine brakes like a champ. If you don't know to do that, the engine will bog a lot, and it will never be as powerful as it can be. Second, the brakes are VERY touchy. It's not the kind of car you can slam on the brakes and coast. Engine and trail braking techniques are a must. Lastly, as mentioned, curbs can really unsettle the car. Badly. It will spin out immediately if you get too far into a curb and hit the sausage even a little. And as an extra added bonus, the sound of the engine is heavenly! Great video!
This is about best for beginners so a car you need to know probably wouldn't be the best.
@@UsmanKhan-coolmf the point I failed at making was pick any car, and learn on it. Especially if it's a car you always loved, you'll drive more and get better.
@@thehumblepundit9790 that's a fair argument! Either way i shouldn't have sounded so negative towards your opinion so sorry about that!
@@UsmanKhan-coolmf no worries, brother!! We're all friends here!
Recently bought this. So far my favorite has been the Bentley and 720S. But, for now, I'm using a controller so it'll probably change when I get a wheel. Im setting aside money for a wheel, probably a T300 RS GT.
Everything on the list makes 100% sense, just my personal taste is that I do not like the Aston because its so user friendly, so it caused me to learn bad habits that I had to learn off when I switched cars
I started as a rookie, and felt the Mercedes non evo version is actually a good car. I tried the Ferrari, but the Ferrari is too tight. Mercedes is really good
easy car for begginers, just in my feel a bit understeery on corner entry in stock form, I drove it alot starting with ACC on all power tracks
I really like the Lexus. Sounds great & has a good balance of fairly fast & a bit more forgiving than the others.
I started with 488 and still loving it!
If you can find the correct setup online or tune the car so that suits your driving style.
Yeah, the 488 is great fun :-) I was a fan of David Perel, so ...
I found out today that mclaren fits my style, i dont know anything about setup, i like to agressivly trail break and get a slight bit of understeer, so mclaren was best for me
As a NOOB,I didn't finnish great in the Rookie school. So, out of the cars I was offered,, I picked the McLaren 650s to start.
Being new I figured I would just learn to drive what I was offered not knowing any better. When I get in something a little more forgiving, maybe I'll be that much better.
Loving ACC for sure👍🏁
For me at the beginning it was the AMG GT3, best Laptimes with this Car.
I absolutely love that car, drive it on all sims. I just love the way it behaves at this point feels fully natural to me. One other car I'm eyeing is the Audi Evo 2, but it's gonna take some affort to pull me away from the Merc.
That's what I was going to say as well. I found the Merc to be the most forgiving cars to start out with. It's fast with the ACC pre configured set ups and easy on a noob when making changes learning how to set up cars. Also I felt it didnt punish you to harshly when you over did it setting it up or trying new things. On top of that it loves eating curbs in Imola/Zolder/Monza so you can take bad angles and still gain time lol.
As much as my first ever championship was done in the Porsche 2019, I always had myself a lot of issues with multiple issues, as much as the car was fast and I finished that season with a single point (F1 style with 15ish drivers), ever since the Audi Evo II came out I’ve been nonstop with it
Thanks for great video! Always appreciate your friendly attitude.
Love this!!!! A vídeo series about best cars for every circuit would be freaking amazing!!!
I enjoy these types of videos, I had been driving the Aston to start with for a long time and now switching to the M4 a little bit. I would be interested to know your thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of all cars on the latest patches if anything significant changes like it did with 1.8
love my bentley... been using it since starting on ACC.
Yeah i can't drive another car. Haha. The Ferrari and Mercedes a little bit. But the Bentley is really all i can drive consistently well.
I just bought ACC. I will start off by saying I used to play when it first came out years ago on PS4 I just bought it on PC.& I play a lot of iracing..but for ACC I absolutely love the McLaren. Ferrari I kept crashing turning mid speed corners I had the hardest time staying on track
I love the McLarens. I’m using their GT4 to learn the circuits and I find it perfect. The car just ‘feels’ right to me. Love it.
I find the McLaren easiest to drive for me so far, but looking forward to try out Aston and Bentley. :) Thanks for a nice guide!
Bro I am with you .
But I picked the 2015 McLaren 650s .
I am on easy in my first career 3 to 5 sec ahead of the grid at my last race.
I found the 720 fast but had this weird slip angle feels like almost oversteery at some high speeds.
I am just starting a career with the Porsche GT 3 ..
@@mrj3217 you can pick your starting car for your career ? I've been stuck with my audi gt3 since the start lmao
@@reynaldiwidjaja277 After the monza dry , wet , night test you have a group of cars you can choose from to drive .
I just started a new season with Porsche 911.
I just started ACC and did career with Bentley, enjoying it a lot.
I also really enjoy the camaro from GT4 pack haha...
Have there been many changes since this video was made ? LOL My choice was the Jaaaaaag to start in and i love it some much but it hurts me all the time
For front engine cars, I love the Jag too! Sometimes the dampers are too low, making it a bit skiddish, but it sounds great and turns eagerly for a front engine car.
Why is the Ferrari here, it's not only tricky on the setup side, but also you CAN'T, simply CAN'T use kerbs, how is a rookie supposed to race it? (words from a rookie)
100% agree.
Cool video. Personally I started out with the 720s and I haven't changed lmao
I actually started on the porche and loved it. But changed to mclaren 720s because the porche was so slow on the straight and I just don't get to play as much now.
Whats your thoughts on the new audi for a noob?
I started with Porsche 911 GT3 R (2018) because that and a Jaguar were my only 2 options after Lambo challenges in career mode, my thought process was: If even I, who till now have not been into cars, have heard of the 911 must mean is a great car, right?
I think this list is how to start and be competitive quickly. If you're not an experienced driver you might find it hard to drive McLaren for example. I think the best car for a beginner is the GTR! Super safe you never really lose the rear and with lower level competition you dont notice the speed difference so much.
Been driving the m6 from the start. I love it so much, even tho you cant see shit out of it
The V12 is also fantastic. My car of choice, but the 2019 V8 was even more planted on the ground. Good list!
I thought I was crazy when I started driving the 720s because it did not like trail braking... or at least it did not like the way I did trail braking coming from other cars like the Ferrari and Mercedes. It seems to like (for me anyway) being a little harder on the brakes both applying them and lifting... and then powering through. It is really a very different experience.
when we took teh v8 vantage to the actuall bop test. we where the fastest car down the back straight at rickard hands down. got told off for it being to fast
Amr is where I started. Very easy to setup and easy to catch spins
I have no way driven so many hours in this game compared to others but in this little time I found the AMG and 720S worked so far good for me. But definitely will try the others you mentioned!
I got a 1:57:345 during the young drivers test in career mode .
I improved from a 2:02 time.
I ask you what AI level should I go with?
I chose normal for this new season .
FYI I choose the Porsche 911 GT3 this time .
I am trying to log laps in new cars at a challenge .
Last go I used the McLaren 659s and I was seconds fasters than the AI.
I want a competitive AI.
Coach Froch lighting up the rears just because the Fiat is too fast he needed to give uyp place to have more cars to divebomb, S+ tier clip.
Sweet t-shirt! Think youi're bang-on making the Vantage #1. Super-stable, very forgiving if you make a mistake but still a very competitive car.
I decided to pick the Porsche 911 GT3 R for my very first car for my first sim racing game for my wheel, was that a smart idea?
Porsche is #1 on Jardier's worst 5 cars. You have to be super skilled and make the car super dangerous, and if you can handle it, it's super OP. But if you make it safe to drive, you'll be the slowest on the track...
I have problems with the McLaren spinning out on corners. I neen enjoying the Aston Martin
Generally agree with the list! Though I may consider swapping McLaren with Audi R8. Reason being, I found the McLaren catching me out at times with weird snaps of traction. The Audi was similar in terms of level of nervousness, but I rarely saw the weird snappiness that made me hesitant in medium speed corners in the McLaren.
Having only 100 hours in the game... I went through most of these cars and ended up settling on the Aston. Glad to find out it was a decent choice!
Yeah mate I’m fairly new to it and the 720 and the Ferrari are my go to
What i dont understand is that i can drive pretty well in open wheel single seaters across different games, but im so slow in GT cars and it’s so frustrating
2:12 Red/White Jordan XIII's spotted in the Bentley
Great info in the video, thanks for the advice!
That shirt is SICK, Jardier! Where did you get it?
Started with Ferrari Evo when I first got my Fanatec rig a couple of years ago. I still drive that Ferrari Evo today. Are you telling me this game har OTHER cars!?
I started with ACC recently and I was making my own list, by going through all tracks and cars and give them a proper try.
I came to similar car list.
1. Nissan
2. Ferrari
3. Mclaren
4. BMW
5. Aston Martin
4 out of 5 cars matched your list, but Bentley didn't make it for me at all. It just doesn't inspire confidence at all in me and I find it difficult to push without losing control frequently. I have several cars above it, that I feel much more comfortable to push in.
I would replace Bentley with Mercedes, Lamborghini or Nissan as all of those feel more stable, nimble or confidence inspiring than Bentley to me.
I haven't done any endurance events and didn't try to create my own setups, so when I start doing those, I might change my opinion about Bentley.
Yeah, the Bentley feels suicidal and needs high TC or you'll spin out exiting every turn. But my inexperienced attitude makes me feel inadequate that I need to rely on high TC just to not spin out...
Here's what I guessed it was going to be;
Aston
Mclaren
Bentley
BMW
Lexus
Forgot about Ferrari, always found it hard to get good lap times with but it feels very fast. I started a few months ago with Aston V12 (oops) then Lexus and now the mighty HOONDA. Much love to you Jards
2 cars which I love McLaren and the Ferrari . But sadly i can't get the Ferrari EVO 😞 . Do u think the Ferrari 488 gt3 can compete in lfm and all .not the evo tho
I would love more videos on setups, that topic is basically endless and always interesting
do the e-sports thing and go full left on toe and camber on all 4 wheels. Yeah, it's just a game, so the physics can be exploited. It's the best treatment for understeer. Unfortunately, every time they do some kind of update that affects physics, all the tunings go out the window. Thus the topic being endless...
I use the 488..to the point of exclusive across ALL racing sims. I don't like jumping from car to car
Tried the Ferrari to start, but may look at the Aston. The curbs are killing me in the Ferrari.
Nah, man, you have to try out every car. the one that Feels right is the One that IS right. Unless winning is your only reward. Then the Aston definitely isn't it. This is a rookie best car to learn the game and start on list... The Ferrari is the WORST at curbs and shouldn't be on the Beginner's list at all. I'd say the McLaren is somewhat bad on curbs too. You have to feel out every car. Don't be ashamed to molest all of them. Pick the one that makes you smile like your avatar pic!
Nice vid. As a rookie I drove Lexus and old 488 (pre update) in my first leagues. But now I really enjoy 720S. I could not drive porsche before but now I'm getting used to it, you definitely need to get your head prepared for it though, you cannot be lazy!!
Would be cool to see what you do as a driver going between front engine, mid engine, and rear engine cars. I am not good enough to adapt, so I just choose cars that suit my driving style, rather than trying to change my driving per car. For example I cannot get the Aston V8 to turn in!!
What’s your thoughts on the newer AUDI evo ii for a noobie.
I’ve been in the macca for x2 seasons but I’m getting over it’s terrible curb behaviour… I tested the audi the other day and it feels very similar to the macca but tends to handle curbs nicer.
Yes, Jardier. No mention of the Audi Evo II in either the top 5 best or worst? But It's one of the most popular cars in your live streams... The Porsche, Honda, Bummer and Ferrari are on those lists, but the Audi II is absent, even though you complain about it sometimes... Is the Audi II just middle of the pack? I mean it's really guud for skilled racers, but is it all that for a rookie??? I think it's top 3 fastest for me, but feels a little stiff or weird. But I'm just a rook.
when i first got ACC i used lexus as i got used to the wheel i moved to Bentley and now loving the bentley
The new Audi is also good beginner car - it drives a bit like the MacLaren but doesn't die on curbs as easily compared to the MacLaren
As a beginner myself I can't seem to drive the Bentley or Aston. I spin out in those 2 cars so easily even when I try to be careful on the throttle. I don't have the same issue with mid engine cars, and even the Porsche is easier to drive in that regard.
Engine map 2, put the rear wing at full down force, and tc at 5 and you'll be stable in the Bentley. Just my thoughts my friend!
I appreciate your honesty Jardier, excellent video guide.
My pleasure!
The Audi R8 LMS Evo II is my new main and I find it very easy to drive.
When I started I was on the Audi then moved to McLaren, the McLaren will spin if you lift off the throttle through corners, it almost needs brake and throttle at the same time but not too much throttle, just enough to balance it entering a corner.
Yeah that's a mid-engined car thing, some are more affected than others, but mid-corner liftoff oversteer, or as it's also known, snap oversteer, is a danger in those cars. Particularly with the Lambo, I feel.
@@varyagace yep that’s why after I learned the basics I went to front engine cars. The only car I can drive aggressively like a front engine car is the Ferrari evo, managed to set it up that way.
the ferrari is lovely and challenging in the same time it's only problem is the bumpy kerbs ; the car behavior is unpredictable in this kind of situations
switched to it after a long long journey with the 720s when I was a rookie
Guys is the meta to shift exactly when the blue dots are blinking? I feel like i do everything perfect and shift on the redline and the "indicator" shows impressive but still, somehow cars fly past me. I wonder if im shifting too late. Should i always shift up quickly ? In curves im doing great but on flats many cars fly past me like nothing even though i pedal to the metal
Any reason you took the 488 over the Evo? Usually the modern cars have been better in acc.
Could you do a video like this for the GT4 cars? I'm just getting into ACC and all information is helpful for me!
The Aston V8 on Xbox is a handful to drive. Granted it was the car I started with but the Lexus, NSX EVO, Bentley and M6 were easier to deal with. That was in 2020 though
The Porsche is not beginner friendly and yet the Carrera Cup is one of the longest-running one-make series in the world with championships going even as far down as the national level in some countries
Oh i wish that shirt said nurburgKing
What about AMG GT3? I drove it a lot and found it a little bit understeery, but it has the easiest engine map and good TC i think
I was a bit confused by what you meant by rocky until I figured it out 😂
I'm quite rookie in acc and in sim racing and my favourites to drive are the Lambo and the AMG
Hi Jardier i play on xbox and the BMW is not out yet do you have any info on when it will be out because I really want to try it
