Well, I went with the Fairlady Z R3 car. Has a huge braking and handling rating, plus it's acceleration and launch is really good too. It lacks a bit of top speed, but it can be compensated by gear ratios and the unlocked racing engine upgrade ;) Also it was only 200K credits.

I'm on the first R3 championship race too, and having a bit of trouble controlling the car at first too, this would do so much better had I got a racing wheel ._. I really hope that somehow, someday MS allows G25 compatibility, through an update or something.

I know what you mean.  It is hard for me to tweak the joystick for slight movements.  Would have been much better had I gottena wheel.

I would buy the MS wheel, hadn't I got the G25 already. I know MS has it's propietary accesories policy, but there should be some exceptions IMO, especially since Logitech does tons of accessories that are at least windows compatible.

Brawl can't make it this week and Courgaman doesn't seem to be on. I don't have many friends registered since my original Wii was stolen. so looks like no GP this week. disappointing! after I drummed up support to get more people to take part. Oh well.

Anyone else been rocking the Vauxhall VX220? I love this car! Been using it for my weekend races in season 2 and may keep upgrading it to race with once I'm done with this season. Honestly, I'd never even heard of Vauxhall until I hopped in and gave it a spin.

Will recommend the Bugatti once you get it.   They give it to you when you get to a certain driver level.  It is an S Class car but once you upgrade it to R3 it completely destroys all the affordable R3 cars and is probably only going to be outperformed by one or 2 R3 cars which cost like 1.2 million and upwards.

I've passed my two first races in the R3 championship. The Z is a monster, it lacks top speed, but handles like a feather :O In both the Sebring and Road America races I've left my opponents in more than 6 seconds away. I'll try the bugatti once I get it, i'm currently at level 26 ;).
