Does anyone have a decent B Class mini FWD grip build (7.7+) without the super-short gearing?
You must have insider information about an autocross slalom DLC, because I can’t imagine any other setting where a B class Mini would require handling on par with an S1 Donkervoort.
The short gearing is probably necessary to keep the car moving. I would imagine with ridiculous handling like that it might need to be push-started on a stock transmission. A 5% grade approaching on the road ahead? Better call a cab.
HAHAHA I mean nothing bad by laughing at this comment I loved it, thank you for the laugh.

have a good-n
lol. Need the grip if you don’t use the walls.

Well played. But my wallriding propensity and implied lack of skill notwithstanding, I still don’t see the benefit of attempting to match an 80hp 1960s pocket-buggy with the upper echelons of extreme track toys. I wish you nothing but luck on your journey to leaderboard domination, though.
I like grip for the mini on the twisty town circuits. You don’t need much grunt if you can keep up momentum. Grip also feels better with the TX wheel. A lot of the conventional builds I’ve tried just don’t want to turn in. Might be a different story on a thumbstick. Also … any game where I can crack a top 10 doesn’t really have leaderboards. 
Are you talking builds or tunes?
Are you sure the issue is within the build?
Build one yourself and try ARBs 1/40 and Rebound/Bump of 13/1s and tweak from there.
Front aero greater than rear.
High accel diff.
Reduce caster rather than increase it.
In B class though you are probably dealing with too much power.
This sounds like a job for Kitty! Yay! Let me try and I’ll be back.
The Mini in B class seems to be the ultimate LB car in roadracing/circuits. The HLR guys dominating the lb’s by cpl of seconds. Cant built a competetive setup 
Is that with Lime driving it lol
Is there any interest either via this thread or via PM that we pick a track and each of us builds and tunes the mini and we try each others cars?
Even just naming a track and we can do our own thing and if one of us cracks it we can share our secrets lol
Mick - is there a specific track you are running?

Sisteron Perimeter Sprint was the last one I was having a go at.
Ok. Shared in game and posted in my open source thread.
Thanks Kitty. Will give it a run tonight.
Here is my mini #8 for now on Sisteron Perimeter Sprint
My apologies for lots of engine parts, there may be a simpler combo that maxes the pi but this was the first combo I found that did.

I am sure there is more time on the track, more time in the build and a little more time in the tune but was reasonably close to the HLR minis for a quick attempt.

Thanks for the input guys. I’d been trying to stay out of tuning in FH2 because the lack of test drive mode puts me off, but I ended up having to dive in anyway.
Kitty, I had a try at your mini and while it was good, it wasn’t much suited to the twisty Sisteron circuit. It didn’t like to turn in sharply and had a lot of lift-off understeer. Although the gears were well spaced, it was quick to fall off boost in 2nd when exiting a tight corner. It would probably run quite well on a more flowing circuit,
I ended up building a car with the twin screw supercharger and the sport box which I have shared for what it’s worth. It’s still a bit of a tank, but it is good through the power band and decently sticky. There’s a lot more time in the Mini then has been found by me. I was routinely losing a second off the line because of wheelspin through first and second gears.
SNE I might have a go at your build tomorrow as I still didn’t feel mine wanted to track out of a bend all that well and didn’t like quick changes of direction as much as I would like.
PS nice work on the #3. Pipped you by a second though.
Mick,
Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Nothing tried, nothing gained. I blame Tuneses, my test driving cat,
This has got my attention, know most of the HLR guys, talented drivers and tuners will be having a go maybe tonight.
lol. Shortest #1 ever.

Nice job if you if you built your own Mini and grabbed top spot, no need for me to try it, I’m much happier trying to find a car not up there and seeing what I can do with it.
