FReSh, that's an interesting setup to say the least. What tracks are you running it on?

The last two Forza games I played I started with FWD or AWD until I got something like a Ferrari F430 or 458, and those were good to go without much more than a sway bar and slightly tweaked LSD. This has a much more balanced feel than stock for the FRS, but I cranked the brakes way up because I'm a really aggressive late braker when starting at the back of the pack. Thanks for the help!

Cool. It honestly could probably benefit from having a little softer rear springs, but I like the turn-in that it has. Regarding the brakes, I like to turn them down just a touch so that I can trail brake into the corner if I need to. If you set your brake pressure high, you need to make sure you do all (or almost all) of your braking before turn-in.

I'll run it on basically anything. Typically it is better for higher speed tracks. I did most of the tuning on Camino full, road atlanta club, bernese alps club, sedona club, and maple valley full. I used the E-class multi-class race from the race menu when I was tuning. That way I could build up my scion affinity, and race A class cars with my B class tune... It made for a challenging race and I still got all the points for winning if I wasn't able to get past the ferrari at the end since I was technically "registered" in the E-class cars. I recommend taking that tune into that event with professional opponent difficulty... its a challenging race for sure against all the a-class cars.

I'm currently working on an A-class tune for my FRS. It will be largely similar to the B class one, but less weight, more tire, and more power. :) Once I'm satisfied, I'll post it up if ya guys want.

I played a LOT of F1 2012 in between Forza 4 and Forza 5, so I'm used to late braking in a straight line. It's taking a little bit getting used to having very little grip (relatively) through corners again! I'll get back into a "regular" driving style soon enough... but nothing beats the aero grip you get in an F1 car. Looking forward to being able to afford the Lotus F1 or one of the IndyCars in FM5.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it... once I can justify spending the coin on an xbox1
