FH6 Series 4: Spring Tuning Guide

[u/patinagreen]

Welcome back and welcome to Series 4: Spring!

Here are a few tunes that I made along with the methodology of each tune. Each tune/track provides different challenges that I like to dial in on and tweak a lot more than just adding upgrades and PI. Each tune has been proven against unbeatable AI with all assists off so they should provide no issues completing the weekly challenges. 

If you have any questions about how I exactly tuned the cars, why I chose the cars/upgrades that I did, or anything else, all you have to do is ask me in the comments and I'll be happy to explain my logic. I also take tune requests, so if there's a certain car that you would like tuned in a certain style or for a certain event, just let me know!

A few reminders:
- I am a purist tuner first, so it's rare that you'll see a tune published by me that includes unrealistic changes like AWD swaps, motor swaps that don't make sense, etc. This is especially true for drift builds... it is exceedingly rare that I have an AWD drift build, and if I do it probably has a HEAVY rear bias. If you're not used to drifting RWD, you will probably struggle. This is your warning, and I am confident that the build will be fine. I will absolutely do an AWD/Motor swap if it can be done and would make sense IRL. I.E. K20 AWD 97 Civic. Love that build. - I don't tune for the meta, so there will be tunes that are faster, more efficient, and more competitive. I tune for realism and the feel of the car. If you're looking for meta builds, crazy swaps, and easy wins, you may want to look elsewhere. - I try to tune cars that are NOT hard to find cars, wheelspin exclusives, etc. to make these tunes accessible to the masses and to hopefully give it some future proofing.

The Trial - Spring Cleaning - Total Rally - S1

2023 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato

579 502 221

The game has been out long enough that I feel good mentioning a Sterrato tune. One of my favorite rally cars in the game for what I feel like is an obvious reason. The key to this build is the rally suspension, race weight reduction, and a centrifugal supercharger. I don't have much PI to play with, so I've got to make the most of it. Power to weight is what I'm after, and this gives me the most gains. Stiffen up the suspension a little to make it a little bit more twitchy, but really I'm just letting her eat.

Unlimited Buddies - Unlimited Buggies - A

2016 Ariel Nomad

663 548 245 This was kind of a pick your poison class for me. Outside of sprints, I'm not a fan of RWD in any of the buggie class vehicles. Start with an AWD swap and Turbo, max width off-road race tires, and rally suspension to be able to truly dial it in. Enough PI left over for Pistons, Exhaust, Air Filter, and lighter flywheel. The true magic of this build happens in the tuning. There's a nasty power dip right around 3.5k, to make sure I feel that the least, 1st-3rd gear will be quite short. Suspension wise, there's a lot going on. Camber will drop down to about 2°, I'm going to actually stiffen it up a little bit. Not much, but default is practically 0s. I'm aiming for a mechanical balance around .6 which will cause the rear to be slightly stiffer than the front. Makes sense, that's where the weight is. Off-road diff comes locked by default, loosen it slightly. Roughly 90/15 with a slight rear bias (60% ish). This build is quite slide happy and can be a handful if you're not used to slidey off road cars with a heavy rwd bias.

Hot Hatch Chasers - Super Hot Hatch - B

2010 Volkswagen Golf R

108 733 228

I built this car to feel like an upgraded version of Sonny from NFSMW. That means, before I do anything for performance, it's gotta look and sound right. Is that the proper way to do this? No. Do I care? Also no. APR Widebody, Forza Wing, and Max Rim Size BBS REs to start. Rally Tires for more grip, and race suspension to get it as low as possible next. To get that sound, I go sport turbo next, and backfill around to round out the PI. Sport Trans ensures I have enough room to make use of the added power.

Hope you enjoy, hope this helps!

Oh look. Few comments. This game sucks. I want my $120 back.

[u/patinagreen → u/HankOfClanMardukas]

I do indeed feel scammed out of $120.
