In order to get the best car, you have to tune it. In the section below this, you will see what all of the different tuning will do. At the bottom of that section will be the recommended settings. That is the best for most tracks. If you need better handling, tune it for better handling with the wings, but you won't be as fast. Turning: Turning is difficult in this game at full speed, mainly because it's semi- realistic. Start on the outside of a turn, for example be on the left during a right turn. Then start to turn so you will be on the inside and already turning at the beginning of the turn. This will help let you go through longer turns faster. Pitting: After a while, you will have to pit. You could get new tires, wings, or engine repair. Pay attention before you pit at the upper left corner of your screen to see what you need. Don't get everything at once because the pit will take a long time and you want to spend as little time as possible in the pit. Take what you need and get out. Passing: The last thing you want to do is hit the other cars. Go around them at all costs. When there are other cars in your way, slow down. Don't ever hit anything because every little thing you hit, the slower your car will go. Transmission: There are two types of transmissions. One is automatic and the other is manual. Automatic is easier. Manual is a little harder but it keeps you busy. For automatic, the gears will shift "automatically." For a manual, you will have to shift "manually." To shift press Up or Down. Up will shift up and Down will shift down. You will have to shift up, when you reach this gear's top speed. If you are going slow, then shift down. =============================================================================== ----------------------- 3. - Tuning ----------------------- =====================================F1S3====================================== To tune your car, you have to go to settings before a race. The dash is the acceleration. You want a high dash if you crash a lot. The Speed is just your top speed. You want this is you don't crash a lot. Steer is how good your car handles. You just want the best possible steer. Wing: - Front Angle 10 Degrees -1 Steer +1 Speed Angle 20 Degrees +0 Steer +0 Speed Angle 30 Degrees +1 Steer -1 Speed - Rear Angle 30 Degrees -1 Steer +1 Speed Angle 45 Degrees +0 Steer +0 Speed Angle 60 Degrees +1 Steer -1 Speed Tire: - Slick Soft +1 Steer Mid +0 Steer Hard -1 Steer - Rain Soft +1 Steer Mid +0 Steer Hard -1 Steer *Please Note - With tires, the better the steer, the less durable your tires will be. This means that if you take soft, you will have good steering but you'll have to pit more often. And it's the other way around with Hard tires. Suspension: - Suspension Soft -1 Steer Normal +0 Steer Hard +1 Steer Shift: - Shift Manual +0 Speed Automatic -1 Speed *Please Note - The transmission has to be either Manual or Automatic. With manual, you have to shift up and down yourself, but with automatic, you won't have to shift at all. Gear: - Gear Low -1 Speed +1 Dash Normal +0 Speed +0 Dash High +1 Speed -1 Dash Engine: - Engine V-12 +0 Speed V-10 -1 Speed V-8 -2 Speed Brake: - Brake Soft Normal Hard *Please Note - The brakes are just like the tires. Soft works better but is less durable and will need repairs quicker than Hard brakes. But hard brakes aren't as good. Here are the recommended settings for best performance of your vehicle: Wing: -Front Angle 20 Degrees -Rear Angle 45 Degrees Tire: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< -Rain Soft | Suspension: With these settings, your car will have | -Hard the following specs: | Shift: | -Manual Dash ********** | Gear: Speed ********** | -Normal Steer ******** | Engine: | -V12 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Brake: -Normal. =============================================================================== ----------------------- 4. - Tracks ----------------------- =====================================F1S5====================================== I added this section so you could predetermine what settings you'd like based on how many turns there are. The indents on certain sides point in the direction you are driving in. iWMMMi XMM0 WM MM2 0Ma MMM ,MMM BMM MMM7 rMM BMMM MMi iMM Course #1 MMM 0M0 MMMS 7MM MMM SMZ MM South Africa MM .MM2 MM MM MM aMM.
