S2 Class (901-998 PI) — Hypercars
| Tier | Car | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| S | Koenigsegg Jesko (stock engine) | Speed traps, highway, danger signs |

| A | Bugatti Chiron Super Sport | Speed zones, highway races |

S1 Class (801-900 PI) — Supercars
| Tier | Car | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| S | Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 | AWD swap makes it a cornering monster. Dominates S1 road racing. |

A Class (701-800 PI) — Sports Cars
The most competitive class in FH6 online racing. Narrower PI gaps mean tuning matters more than car choice.
| Tier | Car | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| S | Subaru WRX STI (2020) | AWD, incredible grip on Japan's mountain roads. Meta-defining. |
| S | Mazda RX-7 FD (1997) | Lightest A-class car. Superior corner speed on tight circuits. |
| A | Nissan GT-R R35 (2017) | Budget option. Heavy, but AWD + power compensates. |
| A | Toyota Supra RZ (1994) | Versatile. Works on road, dirt, and light off-road. |
| A | Ford Focus RS (2017) | Dirt/Cross-country specialist. Rally suspension included. |
B Class (601-700 PI) — Hot Hatches & Classics
| Tier | Car | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| S | Honda Civic Type R (2018) | FWD king. Lightweight, responsive, cheap upgrades. |
| A | Ford Escort RS Turbo | Retro rally icon. Great on mixed-surface B class races. |
| A | Toyota AE86 Trueno | Drift specialist. Not competitive in races, but drift zone meta. |
🏎️ Tuning Tip: In A class and below, prioritize handling upgrades over power. A 400 HP A-class car with race tires and suspension beats a 600 HP A-class car on stock tires every single race. Upgrade tires → suspension → weight reduction → transmission → engine (in that order).
