1) Majority A answers
Your car
Ferrari 499P
*Can be purchased from Brand Central
Playstyle
You love precision, rhythm, and that “factory team” feeling.
Trademark
The Ferrari 499P is rear wheel drive… until it isn’t: The car runs as RWD most of the lap, but becomes four-wheel drive above ~118 mph, giving it extra grip in fast corners like Nürburgring and the Porsche Curves at Le Mans.

2) Majority B answers
Your car
Porsche 963
*Can be purchased from Brand Central

Porsche’s 963 is the result of racing royalty evolving. It blends hybrid tech with decades of Le Mans dominance to deliver a modern prototype that keeps winning when it matters most

3) Majority C answers
Your car
BMW M Hybrid V8
*Can be purchased from Brand Central
Playstyle
You like aggression, heavy braking, and cars that feel powerful and physical.
Trademark
This car’s legend started with a breakthrough win — and it’s built to stay calm when the race turns messy. At Indianapolis, BMW scored a historic 1‑2 finish, and reporting specifically calls out the final laps happening in dense lapping traffic. This car was built to thrive in chaos.

Mission: Pass other cars cleanly without hitting them before time runs out
Advanced Testing: World Map >> Missions >> Watkins Glen
4) Majority D answers
Your car
Peugeot 9X8
*Can be purchased from Brand Central
Your Playstyle
You want something different, you enjoy learning curves, and you like mastering the unusual.
Trademark
A century‑long rule broken. The 9X8 launched without a rear wing, something unseen in top‑level endurance racing for more than 50 years. The rear wing on a hyper car is its stability dial: more grip in corners, less speed in a straight line. Without a rear wing, all of the 9X8’s downforce came from underbody aero and body shaping. Thankfully, there’s one on this version for you.
Drive Challenge
Practice: Garage >> Car Settings >> Brake Balance
Mission: Race at an event, try Monza Circuit Experience. Then go your Garage and move the Brake Balance one or two steps forward. Finally, drive the same event again and try to notice the difference.
Advanced Test: World Circuits >> Europe-Middle East >> Monza
5) Majority E answers
Your car
Porsche 911 Turbo S Safety Car
*Can be purchased from Brand Central
Playstyle
You value discipline, clarity, and clean racing. You don’t chase chaos — you manage it.
Trademark
Manthey is Porsche’s partner responsible for running and maintenance of the WEC safety cars, and they help integrate the specialized systems that a world‑championship safety car needs. Manthey turns a fast road car into a reliable mobile control room; meaning it’s built to communicate, react, and lead the field safely under pressure.
Drive Challenge
Practice: World Map >> World Circuits >> Trial Mountain >> Free Practice
