I just touch the gas coming out of the corner and she either spins or starts wildly fish tailing. Not very good IMO, as a race car. I did adjust the final drive ratio. Originally top speed was something like 160mph, which is definitely not achievable, even with the the ~230hp in game. I knocked that down to around 140mph, and I'm just about hitting fuel cut-off at the end of the straight at Yas.


I bought the Honda S2000 CR, now that car is meant for racing. SOOOOO much more traction, and oomph.

I drive mine like a madman around the track. She slid around a lot until a buddy of mine who takes Forza way too seriously gave me access to his special spreadsheet that calculates all tune values needed for a vehicle. Now she's stable an lethal. Even will abs off, manual shifting, no brake lines, and damage on I can still tear up a track.


Key is to upgrade suspension, tires, wheels, and get some more power for acceleration. After the upgrades you need to tune the car because she will drive like shit.


Maybe I'll post up my numbers later but I don't have access to them now. I can start you off by saying lower the tire pressure, adjust the camber, soften the springs, adjust the spring rebound rate. Pretty much everything is set way too high by default. Lower the settings will get you started.


Later on when I get access at home I will post up my upgrades and tune values.


Tuning is the key in Forza.
