Cool Tips for racing a FWD
I'm asking this newbie question, just cause there are probably many people want to know about these things and are afraid to ask. So if anyone wants to give good racing tips (and not shit like "get a RWD") please add them. I'll add mine later


I'll be posting two other ones for racing RWDs and AWD

R on your shifter does NOT equal "race mode"

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
"and not shit like "get a RWD""




























I hear getting better/stronger motor mounts help alot in battling the torque steer the FWDs have a tendacy to do. An LSD? Stickier tires and the BPUs (Basic performance Upgrades) Uhmm... lets see what else....












Buy a RWD!!!

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
funny man...

I didn't mean anything when I meant "shit like don't buy an RWD", I meant like I didn't want to hear flames from RWD who likes thier RWD better....cause that doesn't help LOL. This thread is for FWD tips lol

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
The first lesson on FWD racing is point-steer-and-go which cant be said of AWD or RWD

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
I think what arkturus is trying to say is that the FWD steers where the front wheels are pointed, so litttle countersteer is needed. Correct me if I'm wrong here...

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
That’s exactly what I meant ColeIketani. As a matter of fact counter steering is not even necessary in most cases. What I mean by this is that it is very easy to do throttle controlled corrections.

Re: Tips for racing a FWD
Yes, but some light braking before going into a turn or left foot braking will help overcome understeer
