Overview
Somewhat detailed guide for each car of each class (For now, only Road cars)
Premise
Complete guide on each and every ROAD CAR of Project Cars 3.
Feel free to leave a like and comment which cars you prefer, just keep it polite 🙂
Each car has been tested IN STOCK FORM with a Logitech DriveFX Racing Wheel, on the track “Fuji Speedway” set to Spring, Morning, Clear weather. I chose this track because its quick, has both fast and slow turns and both uphill and downhill sections.
Each car is entitled to 2 or more laps (1st to warm up, the 2nd and upwards for the testing itself).
Each car description includes price, lap time and top speed achieved on the chosen track, pros and cons.
I chose to test all the cars in stock form because it is a fair comparision, since each one of them has a different tuning/upgrade potential (and because some of them, if capped at a certain class level, are simply too OP) plus, you’ll have the benefit on knowing the shortcomings of the car you want to own so you can choose which upgrades to install.
Remember that the opinions on the cars are based on MY experience with Project Cars 3, racing games in general and my own knowledge of cars, nevertheless i’ll try to keep any form of preference or bias out of the guide.
PS: Since each championship has some races that needs specific cars to be completed with, i’ll aim to describe cars in general and not for every single race of every single championship
Notes:
PiR = Performance Rating (the higher it is, more competitive the car will be)
P/W ratio = Power to weight ratio (higher = better)
Cr = credits ( the in-game currency)
Upgrading a car = buying and installing upgrade parts in the garage
Tuning a car = tweaking brakes, suspension and the likes before starting a race
Understeer/oversteer = When the car steers not enough/too much (respectively) to complete a turn safely
Road E Class
The starter class! Here we’ll find both old and new affordable sportscars and some new Hot Hatches.
Easy to drive and cheap to buy, they’ll probably stay in your garage long after you completed the E Class championship. Most of them have very good braking and low weight, but you may need to spend credits to make a few of them really competitive against the top of the Class. Mind, that some of them can be upgraded to race in the hypercar class!

– suprisingly agile and quite good braking
– somewhat cheap
Cons:
– a lot of bodyroll and not so stable
– the extreme power output makes the car go sideways basically in every corner exit. Feather the throttle to be safe.
– horribly awful launch. the first 3 gears are almost inoperable due to the gargantuan amount of torque and due to them being very short
3 – Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (2020)

5 – Lotus Exige Cup 430
Price = 82750 Cr
Lap Time = 1.47,254
Top speed at the end of the straight = 261 KM/H
Pros:
– good power output, brilliant launch and great acceleration
– not too expensive for what she offers
– has one of the best handlings in the game, an experienced driver WILL be able to crush lap times like nothing
– P/W ratio is very high even at stock, can be extremely useful in pace setter/hot lap races
– if fully upgraded can achieve a stupidly insane P/W ratio
Cons:
– the handling is definitely not for unexperienced drivers, since it can lead to overconfidence in the car
– the top speed is not that great
– if the upgrades focus too much on power and speed, the perfectly balanced handling becomes a mess
6 – Nissan GT-R Nismo R35

– the PiR is extremely high compared to the price. Also, it’s very affordable
– is capable of outbraking most cars in class
– quick shift times for a manual gearbox
Cons:
– one word: unstable. An experienced driver can use it at his advantage, but less experienced drivers might panic
– often slides out of corners, be cautious
– abysmal top speed, can barely keep up in long straights
8 – Aston Martin Vantage GT12
Price = 86100 Cr
Lap Time = 1.44,320
Top speed at the end of the straight = 272 KM/H
Pros:
– great balance between high power output and cornering

Lap Time = 1.46,328
Top speed at the end of the straight = 279 KM/H
Pros:
– great launch, acceleration and top speed. very powerful even at stock
– excellent grip almost all the time. will lose traction only if you slam the handbrake
– even if heavy, it’s very agile at stock
Cons:
– a bit under-average braking (even Brake upgrade LV1 can fix this)
– very pricey

– great braking
Cons:
– slowest car in class, cant even reach 240 KM/H on a long straight such as Fuji’s
– brakes tend to make the rear end a bit unstable during corner entry

Cons:
– the most expensive in class. You’ll definitely have to break the piggy to get this car
– slides often while in 1st and 2nd gear, feather the throttle
– the high responsiveness may leads the car to change direction in a blink, be careful on how much you steer

– will understeer, sometimes disastrously, if you try to brake while turning
– NEVER, and i repeat, NEVER try to do an E-Brake turn with the Cinque, you’ll spin out 90% of the time. Stick to the racing line.
Hypercar Class

– substantially cheaper than the other cars in class (almost 30k Cr cheaper than the second cheapest!)
– great acceleration and top speed, enough power to keep her competitive
– insanely high P/W ratio gives the car extreme responsiveness and agility
– great braking and good stability
– if you use it online, others may underestimate your car. Use that at your advantage!
Cons:
– prone to oversteering, especially in the first 2 gears. Exercise caution
– the gearing may be close to perfection but only has 5 gears, limiting her potential top speed
– needs a good driver to exploit her strengths
– as an older model, has turbo lag. Be prepared
2 – McLaren P1
Price = 174500 Cr
Lap Time = 1.38,097
Top speed at the end of the straight = 322 KM/H
Pros:
– insanely explosive acceleration, will quickly decimate the first 5 gears
– quite cheap compared to other cars in class
– very responsive handling, good stability and great braking. in the hands of a skilled driver, will obliterate all but the fastest cars
– high P/W ratio leads to high top speed and great agility
Cons:
– somewhat slow launch due to the first 2 gears being very short and the high power output
– high P/W ratio is a double edged sword, she will try to oversteer after most turns
– if you dont race clean, she will behave like a shopping cart with a rocket engine. Follow the racing line and she will reward you
3 – Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach
Price = 174250 Cr
Lap Time = 1.37,540
Top speed at the end of the straight = 321 KM/H

Lap Time = 1.37,204
Top speed at the end of the straight = 353 KM/H
Pros:
– extremely high top speed, one of the fastest cars ingame (IRL too)
– possesses one of the quickest accelerations in the game. Will probably leave in the dust most opponents
– If a skilled driver finds her too sluggish in turns, he/she may just throw her sideways and let the insanely gargantuan amount of torque do the job.
– brakes are overall good, but they tend to lock up quite quickly if braking from 250+ KM/H
– even in stock form, has enough power output to bend space and time
Cons:
– while she has a good P/W ratio, the 2000+ KG of weight is still a big problem on ANY turn. She understeers like nothing if you dont slow down enough
– most expensive car in class. Will literally eat up all your savings
– the extreme power output may prove difficult for an unexperienced driver
– brakes feel underpowered when goin at 300+ KM/H. She takes her time and distance to slow down, so plan accordingly
