> [@REMINDER: TopGear 10PM Tonight (7/6)](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/reminder-topgear-10pm-tonight-7-6/616/26): > > Handling is subjective. Most motorists define a good handling car as a comfortable to drive car, most do not get anywhere near the limits of what the car can do…intentionally. On the track a comfortable car is probably not a fast car. The handling on a race car is always changing. But handling is how the car feels going around the track, it will be different in qualifying than in a race. It will change throughout the race. How the driver drives the car will affect the handling. So… what your saying is…handling includes many variables like; driver input, suspension, “grip”, and other factors…? so my point is better griping tires will improve handling due to higher cornering speeds being acheived that were impossible with lower traction tires??? yes/no? he totally beleives better grip does not mean better handling! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/grip-vs-handling/132982)._
