Top 5 Cars To Start With Assetto Corsa Competizione 

Which one is the best car for the rookie drivers in your opinion? Do you agree with my list?

I'm a simple man. If I can drive a Porsche, I drive a Porsche.

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 :)

Now please do a top 5 hardest cars! 😃 only one I would add to this list is Lexus, great power, relatively stable through corners and good in wet

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 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

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!

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

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!!!!

the "not this one"-car is exactly always my go-to car in racing sims and acc is no exception. i just love the Porsche

Jardier, you must disclose immediately where you got that shirt

I totally agree with #1, In fact I can say it also apply to the GT4 version as well. very easy car to drive with a default setup.

Loving the NSX evo 2 right now… great stability and I think one of the best front axles in the mid engine segment

I love how you showed Samir spinning from your Misano race 😂😂 I would put the Ferrari evo p5 but list looks spot on Jards 😊👍

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.

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

Thanks for great video! Always appreciate your friendly attitude.

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

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

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

Love this!!!! A vídeo series about best cars for every circuit would be freaking amazing!!!

Great info in the video, thanks for the advice!

The V12 is also fantastic. My car of choice, but the 2019 V8 was even more planted on the ground. Good list!

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!

Great oversight. Thinking of buying this instead of gt7 and practice using wheel and pedals

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 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

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.

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!!

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 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 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

Love ya man, you nail it every time!!

Great vid dude and loving that T-shirt

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.

I love my Bentley! Thanks for the video Jardier :)

I just started ACC and did career with Bentley, enjoying it a lot. I also really enjoy the camaro from GT4 pack haha...

I really like the Lexus. Sounds great & has a good balance of fairly fast & a bit more forgiving than the others.

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…

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...

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 :)

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

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!

Good list! Love the tshirt.

Cool video. Personally I started out with the 720s and I haven't changed lmao

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

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.

Amr is where I started. Very easy to setup and easy to catch spins

The M4 GT3 feels like the easiest to learn for me, next to the 720 GT3. Love both of these! Really thought I would like the Huracan Evo2 but I didn’t love it.

love that Ferrari livery..(don't let Ferrari see it they may make you change it lol{they have a strict policy for their road cars ridiculously stringent} love the Ferrari that and AMG have been great to learn in..only been at sim racing little over a year now...i've been spending that year learning the cars how to break find my line, all the that ...now im racing AI learning how to build pace keep pace not go psycho if pushed off my line, how to race cleanly and all that... im planning on racing online in a few more months and want to know how to handle myself properly by not ruining the race for others and have fun...appreciate your instructional videos they've been a great help...i would say Ferrari is great for Beginner ..AMG requires some finesse for sure ... thanks for the content especially the nuts and bolts stuff..really important for us noobs ..to be able to enjoy the sim and learn to be competitive and not angry/frustrated drivers...cheers mate

I would love more videos on setups, that topic is basically endless and always interesting

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)

Been driving the m6 from the start. I love it so much, even tho you cant see shit out of it

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.

love my bentley... been using it since starting on ACC.

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.

Love the Aston.

Yeah mate I’m fairly new to it and the 720 and the Ferrari are my go to

Love your t-shirt mate!!

This is a damn good video, and now I’m half tempted to get ACC now, overall very good video

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

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 👍👍👍

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.

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

I love the bentley. So much its near impossible for me to change car now 😂

I love the 488 as a rookie in ACC!

The Audi R8 LMS Evo II is my new main and I find it very easy to drive.

Love the shirt!

love your tshirt 😃 nice video thanks

when i first got ACC i used lexus as i got used to the wheel i moved to Bentley and now loving the bentley

love the miniature :D

Could you do a video like this for the GT4 cars? I'm just getting into ACC and all information is helpful 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 appreciate your honesty Jardier, excellent video guide.

That shirt is SICK, Jardier! Where did you get it?

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'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!

Brilliant t-shirt!! 😁

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

The Bentley is my favourite and most used car. As you say, the torque is incredible, I hardly ever go down to first.

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).

Love that T-Shirt

I really loved how McLaren and r8 feel and handle on track so far, although my opinion could change as I've just recently started playing acc. I don't know what's right or wrong yet :P

I agree mostly, I would say that Lexus is also quite rookie friendly.

I'm quite rookie in acc and in sim racing and my favourites to drive are the Lambo and the AMG

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.

2:12 Red/White Jordan XIII's spotted in the Bentley

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

I've been learning with the Aston Martin Vantage. Still rubbish but enjoying the sim.

I use the 488..to the point of exclusive across ALL racing sims. I don't like jumping from car to car

"For Rocikes!" xD ;)

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

Roooukies, the rockies are in 🇨🇦 🤙😏 great commentary tho!

I also love the Bentley but trying to learn the Ferrari right now(:

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.

Epic Shirt!

Hope you'll follow up with GT4 picks too 😁

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.

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!
