Need help keeping up online

So I am not new to forza but I feel that forza 5 is different than any forza I’ve ever played but I can’t seem to find cars to keep up or out drive people online. I race b and c class and can’t find a car that will hang! I’ve tuned them the best and I can and would not like to use someone else’s tune because I can’t change the wheels or bodykit. Just wonder if someone could give me some tips on cars or anything that could help. I also drifted every night on forza 4. I only drifted rwd and it is near impossible on forza 5 it seem like just looking for all if any tips. Thanks

Personally, I think you should focus on acceleration and launch for the lower class multiplayers as the tracks are usually of the short configurations. Half the battle is getting out front and avoiding the inevitable big wreck. From there it is preference. I like a well handling car that I can put anywhere on the track. I make most of my passes in the turns. Tuning makes a huge difference. You may have to make a choice between using someone else’s tunes or customizing your wheels/ body kits if you want to be competitive and you can’t get the car there yourself. Good Luck.

Work on your build before your tune. If you are being left behind that bad its the build or the driving. Tuning will shave time but there is no slider that makes your car that much faster in there believe me.

Try Evo or scooby with 1.6 rally motor. Make sure to shift at 5.5k. They handle getting bumped around and driving in traffic.

You could use one othe many open source tunes on here.

Where are those located?
