For that, you must shorten your first gear. The opposite applies if you have an abundance of grip and not enough power to launch your car. You can also tune your first gear into a longer gear if you think you are producing too much wheelspin when coming from a standstill. Vice-versa if you think you shift into too low a rev range.

If you shift up and hit the rev limiter almost immediately or are experiencing too much wheelspin, then try to distance your gear ratios more.

When tuning the individual gear ratios, you can then try and do some practice runs while shifting up on the redline. Adjusting the final drive basically adjusts all gears in unison, preserving their ratios. A tighter gear ratio means that you will be rowing through the gears much quicker leading to better acceleration, but will also hinder your top speed.Ī longer gear ratio takes advantage of the distance between the gears and you will be able to build up more speed, this is at the cost of acceleration though as it takes longer to get into a higher rev.Ī general tip when tuning your gearing is to look at the gear ratio chart and adjust the final drive until you can see all the gear stems in the graph completely. Gear ratios pertain to the distance of one gear from another. In the gearing menu, you can adjust the gear ratios as well as the final drive setting. Generally, we go for a softer compound on both rear and front tires as the majority of the races are not long enough to justify a tire that needs to be heated up versus a tire that is always at or near peak temperatures. A harder tire allows for more nimble handling but generates less heat, making the tires slide more. The downside to this is if a tire becomes too hot, the tire starts to degrade, leading to performance loss. The softer you set your tires, the quicker they generate heat, and in turn, get grip much quicker. TiresĪlthough there are technically two options here (front and rear tire pressure), they generally do the same thing.Īdjusting your tire pressure affects how your tires react when going at speed as well as how much heat they produce. We will be breaking down these options and what they affect when it comes to driving. The easiest way to get over this hurdle is to familiarize yourself with the tuning options and how they interact with your cars.īelow will be the tuning categories that you will find in the tuning menu as well as the tuning options per category. Now that we have our upgrades, we can now start tuning! Tuning your car might sound complex, but it is much simpler than you think it is, especially in a rather arcadey racing game like the Forza Horizon series.
