Best ACC Cars at Zandvoort: The Fastest GT3 Picks

Zandvoort is fast, narrow and it never stops turning. It suits a small, agile car.

The Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 is the reference here. The Ferrari 296 GT3 is 3 kg behind and the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo is 8 kg behind.

Three mid engine cars on top. And the next five are packed into 4 kg behind them, so the field is close.

The lap itself, corner by corner, is in my Zandvoort track guide. If setups are new to you, read the ACC setup guide first. The car choice matters less than getting the pressures right.

The best cars at Zandvoort: the short answer

The numbers come from Full Grip Motorsport's BoP for Zandvoort, read on 5 October 2026. It is a league balance built from hotlap pace, not the official one in the game.

It works with ballast. The quickest car at each track is the reference at 0 kg. Every other car runs lighter to keep up. The more weight a car has taken off, the further it is from the pace there. I only show their top five. The full table is on their site.

Second to eighth are covered by 11 kg. Zandvoort has a favourite, but not a runaway one.

1. Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2

Zandvoort is a string of medium and fast corners with very little straight between them. You go from one change of direction into the next.

The Huracan is at its best in exactly that. It turns in sharply and it carries speed through Scheivlak, the fast downhill right that decides the lap.

The rear is lively. On a track with gravel at every exit that takes some respect. But this is where the time is.

2. Ferrari 296 GT3

Three kilos off and easier to drive. The 296 has the same quick front end with a calmer rear. For a race I would take it over the Huracan.

Both come in the 2023 GT World Challenge Pack, so you can try them back to back.

3. McLaren 720S GT3 Evo

Downforce pays in the fast middle of the lap, from Hugenholtz over the hill to Scheivlak. It is the free option in the top three.

Other cars that work at Zandvoort

• BMW M4 GT3 (-10 kg). The best front engine car and the forgiving one. Stable into Tarzan and steady through the fast corners.
• Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II (-11 kg). Very close to the Huracan in the way it drives, and only 1 kg behind the BMW in the data.
• Ford Mustang GT3 (-12 kg). Sixth at -12 kg. There is only one real straight here, so it cannot use its engine. Still stable and still free.

What Zandvoort rewards

Quick changes of direction and trust in the rear at high speed.

The lap starts with Tarzan, a long hairpin with more than one line. Then Gerlach, Hugenholtz and a climb over a blind crest. Then Scheivlak, flat out in your head and nearly flat in the car.

After that the track tightens through the back section before the last corner brings you onto the only real straight.

Dunes do not leave room for tarmac run off. There is gravel everywhere. A car that steps out at Scheivlak is in the wall.

So you want a nimble car, but one you can trust. Pick the most agile car you can drive at ten tenths without thinking about the rear.

What the pro drivers say

Coach Dave Academy asked its pro drivers to rank the GT3 cars in April 2026. They put the Ford Mustang GT3 first everywhere and they name the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo as one of the cars to pick for Zandvoort.

Full Grip does not agree. The AMG is only seventh in their table here, at -13 kg. I do not read that as one of them being wrong. One is pro drivers judging a car over a race distance on the official balance. The other is hotlap pace turned into ballast for a league. Different questions, different answers.

The best car for beginners at Zandvoort

The Ferrari 296 GT3. It is 3 kg off the reference and it is much calmer than the Huracan in the fast corners.

Without the pack, the BMW M4 GT3 is the free choice. It is fourth in the data and the most forgiving car here.

Sprint races and endurance races

Zandvoort is close to a one line track. Tarzan is the only clear place to pass, and even there the car ahead has options. In a sprint race qualifying decides most of it. Take the Huracan or the McLaren.

In a long race the front tyres take the load in the fast corners and the gravel waits for any mistake. I would take the Ferrari. It is the car I would trust for an hour of Scheivlak.

Pick the car you know

At Zandvoort the gravel decides more races than the BoP does. If you are still choosing, I go through the whole class in the fastest GT3 cars in ACC and through the way I would decide in how to choose a car in ACC.

FAQ

What is the fastest car at Zandvoort in ACC?

In Full Grip Motorsport's track by track BoP, read on 5 October 2026, it is the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2, with the Ferrari 296 GT3 next at -3 kg. That is league data built from hotlap pace, not an official ranking.

Is the Ford Mustang GT3 the best car at Zandvoort?

Not in Full Grip's data. It sits sixth here at -12 kg. Coach Dave's pro drivers still rate it the fastest GT3 car across the game, so it is never a bad choice. It is just not the standout at Zandvoort.

What is the best car for beginners at Zandvoort?

The Ferrari 296 GT3. It is only 3 kg off the reference and calmer than the Huracan in fast corners. Without the pack, take the free BMW M4 GT3.

Where can you overtake at Zandvoort in ACC?

Into Tarzan, the first corner. It is a long hairpin with an inside and an outside line. The rest of the lap is narrow and fast, so passing there needs a mistake from the car ahead.

Is the Huracan GT3 EVO2 hard to drive at Zandvoort?

Harder than the Ferrari 296. The rear is livelier in fast corners and Zandvoort has gravel at every exit. It is the quickest car here if you can trust it.

Do I need DLC to race at Zandvoort?

No. It is one of the eleven tracks of the base game.

Does the balance of performance change from track to track?

Yes. ACC uses a different balance for each circuit, which is why the fastest car is not the same everywhere. Leagues such as Full Grip Motorsport and Low Fuel Motorsport can run their own custom BoP on top of that.
