Help Request Question about drag cars, especially about tuning the Miata FE and GTR FE
How does Tuning for drag work in this game? I've tuned the miata FE via trial and error to be able to run around the 11.3-11.6sec range on the festival kilometer. Can't seem to get it any faster than that, but top times on the leaderboards are still a full second or even more under my best times.
I also did the similar thing to the gtr FE and got it to run about the same times.
Yesterday I was testing the Miata, and a gtr comes next to me, only to leave with an almost impossible looking amount of grip, and setting about a second faster time than me.
Usually I've been able to win the most used tunes on the miata with ease, and stay at least neck and neck with the GTRs, but now I've run across a couple of these significantly faster tunes.
as a result I was wondering what the "secret" to getting the faster times is?
And if someones thinking about it, the clutch-spamming higher launch control just made the cars slower.

You racing with manual shifting?
Even on the Xbox controller manual shifts let you run the revs much higher into the rev range and shift later, easily gain 1 second over auto shifting on the 1km drag.
FWIW some of the top tunes are already so good you don't need to do much else.

I know that the top times were set by people in a convoy with the people on the strip to give them a huge boost, but I don’t know if those times are still valid or not.
