the cars that take time to master and i wouldnt start off with are the lancia 037, stratos, renault 5 or Peugeot 205 t16.
they are most advanced cars. the rwd lancias are a lot harder to control master.
2010 class is a nice medium of easy handling and speed.the problem though with that class its hard to get top times as everyone can race them cause they are so easy.
