Basic Tuning

If you are not experienced at tuning and/or you are intimidated by tuning in Forza, there are tuning calculators to assist in generating a good base tune (starting point) for you. Up 2 Speed Customs has one that is free. Use the U2SC Forza Tuning Calculators here! If you are willing to spend the time learning, then here are some notes on where to begin as well as fine-tuning once you have a good base tune.
Also, remember to tune for YOUR driving style. What works for you will not necessarily work for everyone else (and vice versa), but keep testing new ideas and learning. The only way to become a better builder/tuner is to try new methods and experiment.

Step 1: Tire Pressure, Spring Rate & Ride Height

Tire pressure is used to provide optimal contact patch and tire temperatures in Forza. Start with your tires at 30psi and do 1 lap on your test track. Once you begin lap 2, open up telemetry and watch both the 'Tires Misc.' and 'Heat' telemetry pages. For 'Stock' and 'Street' compounds, the optimal temperatures in Forza is between 180-195 F. For 'Sport' & 'Race' compounds, the optimal temperatures in Forza is between 200-210 F.

The optimal starting point for spring rate is to take half the total weight of the car and then multiply it by the front weight percentage. That is the base front spring rate. To get the rear spring rate, simply subtract the front spring rate from half the total weight. The equations look like this

1. <Front Spring Rate> = (Weight/2) * <Front Weight Percentage>
2. <Rear Spring Rate> = (Weight/2) - <Front Spring Rate>

There's another method that's a bit more involved, and it's called the Xtreme Skils formula (not sure of the source). This needs to be done for both the front and rear separately.

1. <Rear Weight Percentage> = 100 - <Front Weight Percentage>
2. Xf = (<total weight> + <front downforce>)/100
   Xr = (<total weight> + <rear downforce>)/100
3. Yf = (Xf * <front weight %>) / <front ride height>
   Yr = (Xr * <rear weight %>) / <rear ride height>
4. <Front Spring Rate> = (Yf * <g-force at 60mph>)
   <Rear Spring Rate> = (Yr * <g-force at 60mph>)

Ride Height is one of the more powerful settings. The best way to start is to leave the car at 'stock' ride height and then watch the 'Suspension' page in Telemetry on your test drive. What you are looking for is the lowest ride height possible without bottoming out (or getting too close to bottoming out) the front and rear suspensions. You do not have to keep the sliders symmetrical.

Step 2: Alignment, Dampers & Anti-Roll Bars (ARB)

For Alignment, there are a few factors here. The best thing is to have starting ranges for each drive type, and then adjust the values when fine-tuning. Here are some suggested starting values:

• RWD
  Toe 0.0 front & -0.1 rear
  Camber -1.8 front & -1.4 rear
  Caster 5.2 (front engine) & 4.6 (mid/rear engine)
• FWD
  Toe +0.1 front & 0.0 rear
  Camber -1.4 front & -1.8 rear
  Caster 6.8
• AWD
  Toe +0.1 front & -0.1 rear
  Camber -1.6 front & -1.6 rear
  Caster 5.6 (front engine) & 5.0 (mid/rear engine)

For dampers, you want to start with Bump. While test driving keep lowering bump until you feel the car start to bounce or move with the bumps in the road. You are looking for a setting the is just above the point where the vehicle transitions from absorbing bumps to moving with/reacting to them. Some vehicles are stiff enough that your are looking to minimize this as much as possible. For most vehicles, Bump will end up somewhere between 3.0 and 5.0, but there are exceptions. Once you have the bump, the rebound should be set to between 1.25 and 2.00 times the bump (i.e. if front bump is 4.0, then front rebound should be between 5.0 and 8.0). Rebound is also instrumental in fine-tuning the vehicle, but more on that in the Fine-Tuning sections below.

Anti-Roll Bars or ARBs, are used to increase sustained lateral grip while cornering. The values here can vary quite a lot, and are based on several factors.

1. Use a 50/50 front/rear weight bias and 2500 lbs as base values when starting
2. Drive Type:
   RWD: Set the front to 20.00 and set the rear to 50% of the front value.
   FWD: Set the front to 18.00 and set the rear to 110% of the front value.
   AWD: Set the front to 22.00 and set the rear to 75% of the front value.
3. Total Weight:
   For each 100 lbs of total weight above 2500 lbs, increase the front by 0.1 and recalculate the rear value.
   For each 100 lbs of total weight below 2500 lbs, decrease the front by 0.1 and recalculate the rear value
4. Weight Bias:
   For each 50 lbs of weight bias difference, increase the heavier end by 0.1 and decrease the lighter end by 0.1.
5. Other Factors:
   Tire compound, tire width, ride height, body stiffness, chassis type, etc. all play a part in setting this. There is no easy way to quantify the subtle adjustments, so this needs to be handled during fine-tuning.

Step 3: Aero, Brakes & Differential

Aero settings will be dependent on several factors like track, class, and personal preference. The best place to start is to set to minimum and adjust during fine-tuning.

Brakes are where the most driver preference exist. Ultimately you want the front and rear brakes to lock up together under hard braking.

for Differential, there will quite a few factors like drive type, weight balance, engine power/torque, and grip at the drive wheels. The best things to have are starting ranges for each drive type, and then adjust the values when fine-tuning. The biggest thing to remember is, in Forza, the smaller gap between rear Acceleration and Deceleration equal more stability. The rule of thumb is to keep gap between rear Acceleration and Deceleration between 0 to 20 percentage points, and to keep front Deceleration at 0% most of the time.
Here are some suggested base values:

• RWD
  Acc = 75%
  Dec = 70%
• FWD
  Acc = 50%
  Dec. = 0%
• AWD
  Acc = 60% front & 85% rear
  Dec = 0% front & 80% rear
  Cen = 75% (adjust depending on width of rear tires)

Step 4: Gearbox

Use the stock setting and adjust the final drive to get the best gearing. Play with settings here to find the best values for each vehicle you tune.

Step 5: Test Driving & Fine-Tuning

Choose the right test track! If the build is a grip/momentum build, then choose a grip/momentum track for testing. Testing a grip build on a speed/power track will not yield the best fine-tuning results. Make use you make a note of the general lap times you run in each class or division so you can compare different builds too.

When you want to capture.Dealing with various types of data efficiently holds the key to success in any computing task. Using a single antivirus app may not be enough anymore.

That explains why many users.Nearly every PC users need to take screenshots from time to time, whether it is for personal or professional needs.

Here are some of the better test tracks:

• Suzuka Full: this track has just about everything needed to do first and second pass fine-tuning. If it drives well on this track, it should do well everywhere.
• VIR Grand East/West: these two tracks are like running a mini Nürburgring Nordschleife. There's a mix of everything here, so they are good for testing all build types.
• Sonoma Full: this track is a great for testing grip builds.
• Monza Full: this track is great for testing speed builds.
• Rio Full: this track (and the mountain track) is great for testing suspensions for rough surfaces and control.

One of the best methods to really study the vehicle numbers when fine tuning is running a 3-lap race in Free Play and then watching the replay. After the initial fine-tuning pass using the replay, you can just fine-tune on the fly while test-driving in Free Play.
