This guide is mostly towards newbie drivers,but your average FlatOut fan still should get something out of this…I think.
Disclaimer
I`m not a professional player,I`m your average player who just enjoys the hell out of this game and decided to play the game extensively with almost any car on the grid in the Career/FlatOut mode.
Also,I do not have a lot of experience with some cars on the grid,so expect me to mostly talk about the cars I have an extensive practice with.
And finally,DO NOT take this guide too seriously,and don’t be salty if I insult a car that you like.
Playstyles
To make my life easier a little bit,I decided to put each car where I think they fit for a main playstyle:
Pa*sive: Cars usually are weak and can’t put up a fight,need a lot of patience to win races or derbies with. And you should never bump into the opponents or let them bump into you.
Pa*sive Aggressive: Wait for the perfect opportunity to strike at your opponent to damage them and take some nitrous too along the way. Hit & Run
Aggressive: A death machine,hits hard,drives hard,dies hard. Kill or be killed.
(FYI If I put a car in this category that doesn’t mean you are allowed to drive recklessly and wreck yourself instead.)
Derby Cla*s
1: Chili
Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Pa*sive
Pros:
-Can get through tight spaces no problem
-Great handling
Cons:
-Fragile
-Poor top speed
-Underwhelming acceleration
Will forever be the underdog of this cla*s and also a pest on your side cause Sofia drives it.
2: Malice
Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Pa*sive Aggressive
Pros:
-Can take some heavy hits
-Great handling
-Decent acceleration
Cons:
-Terrible top speed
-Can barely get nitro
Not much to say about the Malice,fun car to drive,but in the later stages it will be tougher to even stay in the top 3 in races. The best starter car in it`s cla*s imo.
3: Roamer
Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Pa*sive
Pros:
-It`s a brick
Cons:
-Everything else
No really,it`s actually a terrible car,can’t even keep up in the later stages,it`s only purpose are on demolition derbies BUT there is the thing,there are vehicles in this cla*s that can BOTH race and crush the opponents in demolition derbies.
4: Shaker

Playstyle: Pa*sive Aggressive
Pros:
-Good acceleration
-Can both do and take heavy hits

One of the toughest cars to destroy in this cla*s,and Jason driving it,oh boi,it can get worse if he focuses his sight on you specifically. Quite a bit too slow for my liking tho.

Pros:

The most iconic car in the series,It`s cool,but i`m not it`s biggest fan,personally i prefer the Speedevil or Bullet GT.

The old debate which one is better between Road King and Bullet GT,the answer is what do you prefer,more speed but at the cost of being destroyed easier or have less speed but you are more tanky. I prefer the second choice, you? I dunno.
