Actuall presets for FR cars are ok but for racing use race preset instead of normal.
I`ll take not-last for first time in the game! congrats gridghost!

Agreed on Wangan - I like the track and it has its purposes - for example, it’s a nice track for magnifying what would otherwise be very small variances in mostly straightline tippy-top maximum speeds, but it does take way too long to load the simulation. The first few times I tried to run that track, I thought my computer froze so I force rebooted it. Once I figured out that I needed to just let the thing load for as long as it wanted to, I wondered if my car would have a big enough gas tank to finish the track!

You think you hate it now, wait 'till you drive it.
Interesting side note, that car dealer was played by Eugene Levy, Jason Biggs’ dad in American Pie.

@JohnWaldock is right. Using the game filters with the year set to 2010 and selecting sedan bodies, wheelbase between 2.5m and 3m, and then selecting last 20 years results in 9 bodies. That is not one of them @Nurburgring.

Here we have the Gamma Tinab Race Car road legal.
For you who don’t know, Tinab stands for: This Is Not A Bmw.
Hope I can be competitive again.
Edit 2: I revised this car 3 times, I hope it is alright now.
