Tune with different settings. That is all i can say. The set-up all depends on driving style, my idea of something is always different to yours, even only very slightly.

Ah, never completed it, quite like it though, what with the crazy livery maker. Pretty good, spent many an hour perfecting my cars.

Ive maxed out to level 50 on this game but Im finding it hard to do some of the races with all the aids off. It seems like he computers fastest lap is always 1 to 2 seconds faster than you even if you win the race. Im not sure if this is becasue the ai is using abs or what? For example on the Gts endurance race im am using the saleen s7 gts and even after tuning I cannot seem to get near the computers lap time. I have not done the shelby cup yet though I had a go of it seems like it could be challenging.

i never used used the saleen in the gts races. its too long to pick up speed, so i used the ferrari BUT if ypu use it turn the TC on because the car just wheelspins all the time, but saying that i set the 'box up for acceleration not speed!

Chrisp, if you want i'll try and find out the Final gear ratio i used if that is any help to you. all i adjusted was the 'box you see.


Just created the best two lookin 1992 Honda nsx's on forza. Put them in the Marlboro McLaren livery from 1992. The one with No.2 on it i drive ok, I think Senna has cursed me tho because when i drive No1 i always crash lol!!

Thanks Senna I still need to unlock the 88 imsa 550 car. Im currently doing th class s chamiponship with the Saleen and enzo but once I have you can share your final gear ratio. Im going to start working on some liverys as I have mainly been playing the racing/tuning side of the game.

Suppose it depends on the circuit but usually I try and set up for speed over accleration.

My General Rule Of Thumb is this

Default settings are DEFAULT SETTINGS (Medium Speed/Acceleration)
Final Gear Ratio UP 5-10 depending on how fast (SPEED) you want to go
Final Gear Ratio DOWN 5-10 depending on how much torque (ACCELERATION) you want. tell me if these help you out, if not i'll try and get all my 'box settings for you

also set the car up for the type of track, for street circuits and short and twisty road courses, set the gear ratios to acceleration.

Yeah those settings do work. After a bit of experimenting just changing the fd ratio too much either way caused the benchmark to give me no considerable differences in top end or acceleration. It seems small changes are the best way to go

If all you are changing in your setups is the gearbox, you are missing out on picking up a lot of pace! In particular at Rio, diff settings and caster/camber settings can gain you a lot of time!

If you don't want to fiddle with the other settings and are on Live, you can also download other people's setups for your cars off the leaderboards... so if you are having problems in the Cobra Cup, just go to that leaderboard and try a couple of the top people's setups to find one you like!
