So after looking over the options, I think Im going to have to pass.  With half the cars being DLC's which I dont own and the others on the expensive side for a one off race and even then the only car I coiuld race in would be the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder.  That said, I do hope the series gets going though. 

1958 Austin Healey sprite mk1: (PI: A-555, Max HP:187)

  • DLC which I dont own
  •  

1953 Corvette C1: (PI: A-561, Max HP: 341)

  • DLC which I dont own
  •  

1958 Aston Marin DBR 1: (PI: A-553, Max HP:259)

  • too expensive for me
  •  

1957 250 Ferrari Testa Rossa: (PI: A-549, Max HP:349)

  • too expensive for me
  •  

1956 Jaguar D-Type: (PI: A-552, Max HP:248)

  • too expensive for me
  •  

1957 Maserati 300s: (PI: A-545, Max HP:260)

  • DLC which I dont own
  •  

1955 Mercedes 300 SLR: (PI: A-542, Max HP:310)

  • DLC which I dont own
  •  

1955 Porsche 550 Spyder: (PI: A-546, Max HP:216)

  • I bit pricey for a one off race.

The Spyder and the Testa Rossa are good cars for more than just this race. Pricey yes but very versatile. I can send you the Ferrari if you like. Evryone should own one.
