Don’t let the name “Standard” fool you, these cars can absolutely bring the heat. Many Standard-class cars boast impressive speed and performance. In this 26S1 tier list guide, every Standard-class car is ranked from best to worst, organized by rarity level, so you’ll know exactly which ones are worth investing in.
Racing Master Standard Tier List (26S1)
There are currently a total of 34 Standard-class cars available in Racing Master 26S1. Below is the complete tier list for each rarity, ranked based on average best lap times.
Legendary
SS Tier
S Tier
A Tier
B Tier
C Tier
The Toyota GR86 arrives strong as a high-performance car, offering great handling and a high top speed, making it considered top tier right now.
Classic car enthusiasts will also enjoy this season thanks to the addition of the Hyundai Pony Sedan. Although not as strong as the GR86, this classic car can still be a beast, placing it in the A tier.
Prioritize upgrading SS and S-tier cars first before focusing on mid and lower-tier Legendary cars. These top-tier vehicles are the ones that can boost your rank more effectively and much faster.
Rare
SS Tier
S Tier
A Tier
B Tier
C Tier
The 330i and Golf R are currently the best Rare Standard cars in 26S1, followed closely by the Subaru BRZ. These cars can even compete with Legendary-tier cars when equipped with 3 or more ECU upgrades. They’re definitely worth investing in, but only after you've maximized your Legendary cars and have no others left to upgrade.

B Tier
C Tier
These cars are the last resort in the Standard category. With ECU 5 and a max 25/25 upgrade, they can hold their own against mid-tier Rare cars. However, they’re only useful for farming materials in Car Challenges, not for increasing your Hall RP in the late game.
Note that this tier list is based on the average best lap times, as well as the overall speed and control of the cars. This does not mean that SS-Tier cars will always win races. Ultimately, the results depend on your mastery of the cars and their upgrade levels.
Now that you know which cars to prioritize, make sure to fine-tune them using the best Standard tuning setups to fully maximize their performance.
