Recommended Car
The corresponding prize car from the Classic Muscle Car Championship is a good choice for this event if you don't want to spend credits purchasing some newer metal. That means the Buick Special '62 for A-spec and the Shelby Cobra 427 ‘66 for B-spec (although the Shelby also makes for a good choice in A-spec). You may wish to invest in some Sports:Soft tyres to help your B-spec driver get round the corners safer.
