Tuning Fundamentals
  • Tires: Adjust pressure for grip and temperature.
  • Gearing: Modify individual gear ratios and final drive for acceleration or top speed.
  • Alignment: Camber, toe, and caster affect tire contact patch and cornering.
  • Anti-Roll Bars: Stiffer bars reduce body roll but can lead to oversteer/understeer.
  • Springs: Adjust stiffness and ride height for handling and ground clearance.
  • Damping: Rebound and bump stiffness control suspension movement.
  • Aero: Adjust front and rear downforce (if applicable) for high-speed stability.
  • Brake: Adjust balance and pressure for optimal stopping power.
  • Differential: Adjust acceleration and deceleration lock for power delivery and traction.

Tuning can be complex, but even small adjustments can make a big difference. Start with small changes and test them. There are many community-shared tunes available, which can be a great starting point if you're new to tuning. Don't be afraid to experiment!
