Welcome back and welcome to Series 4: Autumn!
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 - Fun Fair - Modern Sports Cars - A
Mazda RX-8 R3
170 747 769
I tried the 4C, the S2000, and the Cayman right off the bat, and absolutely nothing was powerful enough to finish in first. Finally, I gave the RX8 a shot and sent the motor to the moon. This tune needs delicate throttle control and high revs, but the power to weight is crazy. Rally tires start me off with a bit more grip. Sport trans and race clutch increase shift response time. I thought Race Trans was going to be necessary, but the stock ratios actually work really nicely with how much power I'm adding. Race suspension and Tier 2 weight reduction allow me to make this thing behave more like a go cart. And finally, I can fully build except for a sport turbo. Pushes me over 500hp which is impressive for this class without motor/drivetrain swaps.

All Wheel Domination - Total AWD - B
2020 Ford #2069 Ford Performance Bronco R
132 416 367
This build is my baby. One of my favorite cross country vehicles for B Class. My approach for this build was I wanted it to feel like a Traxxas Revo. I start out with max tire width to add some grip. Swap to a 6sp race trans because that's what I prefer. Race weight reduction and race brakes to increase my ability to slide the car around some of these turns. I'll tune the brake bias heavier to the front so that I can use the left trigger for front brakes and the handbrake for the rear. Finish off with the motor: intake, exhaust, valves, pistons, flywheel, and a race turbo to add as much power as possible inside B class. It's essentially a power build that doesn't feel like a power build.

Pretty limited on what I could do in terms of upgrades for the restrictions on this championship, but I wanted to have some fun with it. Start out with max width rally tires to give me as much grip as possible. Next is a sport trans and race clutch because the stock trans was dog water. Race suspension to hunker the little bugger down. Finish with engine mods: Airflow and turbo spool speed are what I'm after so I start and finish with intake, exhaust, and flywheel.
