Which open wheeler: Lotus Exos or Formula Abarth?

    I have become fond of the FAbarth but I wonder if the Lotus will now be the more popular choice for those wanting to drive open-wheelers. It is faster and sexier, I guess. What do you think?

    It depends. I like almost all kind of openwheelers. Each of them represents a different challenge. I definitelly will enjoy the Exos, but for sure will be back and drive the Abarth. Still I think would be nice to have a lower formula car, like a Skip Barber or trainer.

    for us non-pro´s and online racing, yes. lower power is always better.

    the young speed addicts might disagree, cause they lack the experience ;)

    Isn't this the purpose of the F abarth? To train racers before going into higher tiers?

    At some point. The Abarth is a proper race car, on the range of a F3 I think. Still a difficult car to be competitive for novices. That is why I think a trainer car would be a good addition. Also, for online events, that type of cars usually provides fun races.

    The FA only has a 1.4 turbo 160(?..)bhp engine. It's similar to a Formula Renault so less powerful than Formula 3, Formula 3 is 2 litre 200bhp.

    Like Formula Renault it's intended as entry level, the next step after Karts I think. Formula Ford seems to be being skipped by the rising stars these days.

    Formula Abarth is one of the Sub-Formula 5-Classes, it's really aimed at karting graduates.

    Both the Lotus and Abarth have their unique feeling. The Lotus is far more stressful and susceptible for driving mistakes.

    To me the faster/more powerful one is more of a challenge. This counts for any sim or real life car (the latter not being a fat pig with 700BHP ) But maybe it's just me.

    I understand, but I don't lack the experience(trackdays, driftdays for over 10 years now in 300-400BHP cars) , but I always choose the better one which is 9 out of 10 times the more powerful /faster one. If you first try the more powerful one for some time , the slower one is more driveable as well. Think about that. :D

    Edit: BUT I fell in love with the lower powered than normal Macca GT3 because of it's manners and superb handling vs the streetversion. So sometimes principles just change.

    In simracing choosing the Macca GT 3 over the 458 S3 is another story: No.





    Cheers

    When it comes to racing the things multiplayer, I agree 100%. Getting a more competitive, safe, and just generally, er, racey race between normal drivers is always easier in slower kit.

    Or, to put it in terms of the FAbarth and the new Lotus, I prefer driving the Lotus (so far, that feels like one heck of a well implemented car!), but I'd much, much, much rather race in a FAbarth.
