Вот почему рекомендуется именно Cooper:
What's that, you say? The Coventry has the worst power to weight ratio of all the cars in GPL? Perhaps. But it's only 120 pounds heavier than the lightest cars, the Lotus and Brabham, and is down only 10 hp from the Cosworth and outpowers the Brabham by 40 hp.
Unlike the BRM, which is lovely to drive at Monza but whose heavy engine tries to swap ends with the nose when the going gets twisty, the Coventry has a very good-handling chassis that is versatile enough to work anywhere. And it has a lovely engine, with a broad, smooth power band that comes in strong in the midrange but without any sudden peak that tends to break the rear wheels loose as you accelerate out of slow corners.
The Coventry is responsive and, unlike the BRM, it telegraphs to the driver what it's doing, perhaps better than any other car. I've found that this is fantastic for honing my skills, because it helps me be aware of the bumps, camber changes, elevation changes, changing radii, and all the other subtleties that one must learn in order to drive a Grand Prix car at the limit. With a good setup, the Coventry "talks to me", letting me know when its rear tires are about to reach their maximum grip under power and start to spin, or when the tail is about to step out, or the front wheels lock under overenthusiastic braking.
The Coventry lets me "talk" to it. It seems to be a tad more responsive to throttle and brake than any of the other cars, working its tires in response to weight transfers in a very graphic and manageable way. Its rear weight bias seems to keep it a touch more stable under braking. Its relatively high polar moment makes it take a smidgen longer to snap sideways when I hit a bump or make an abrupt input, giving me that necessary fraction of a second more that I need to recover.
On most tracks in GPL, the Coventry is about one to two seconds slower than the Lotus or the Eagle. For most of us, it's more like one second, because it's so difficult to get that last second out of the Fast Four - especially the Lotus.
А тормозной путь там у всех разный совершенно из-за различий в тормозах.Лучшие тормоза - у Феррари вроде.
