How it drives
Rear-wheel drive makes the Comet AE86 a natural drifter: lift off or tap the handbrake on turn-in and the rear steps out. The flip side is that too much throttle on corner exit spins it.
Handling is its best area, though only mid-pack at No. 46 of 89, so it is most at home on tight, technical circuits.

How to tune it
Acceleration is its weakest area (No. 83 of 89), so put the first upgrades into acceleration to sharpen how it gets up to speed out of corners, where most lap time is won or lost.
