In my point of view, the Lotus is the car that handles best by far. The
Brabham, Cooper, Honda and Eagle aren't bad either, but my laptimes are
simply a one ore two seconds slower than those with the Lotus.
The BRM handles well, but hasn't suitable (Torque,RPM) characteristics.
The Ferrari is well suited for tracks with many slow corners, but it
becomes instable under heavy braking and turning in at high speed, so it's
not suited for the high-speed tracks such as Monza and Spa.
