I’m tuning my car and in practice laps it runs perfect but when I go into multiplayer my rear end get twitchy and I can’t keep it under control what am I doing wrong could someone please help me
.
Could be more the driving than the tune itself, since now you are weaving in-between others. If you’d like specific feedback to check the tune out, just posted and I am sure folks will provide you with some tips for both the build and tune. Car/Class/Build/Tune…tracks of preference?

Yep this is a thing it happens often on Multiplayer, many of my fellow racers have experienced it to. You can tune your car beautifully and when in multiplayer it just doesn’t handle as you know it should. I don’t know if this is down to buggy lobbies, cinnection or somthing in the coding that makes the cars handle different from test drive to multiplayer. The other thing it could be is that that tune just simply doesn’t run nice on the track you experience this and for simalar tracks. This seems like a more likely cause and the only thing I can suggest if you don’t want to tune track specific, is to just tune your car as an all around tune. One that you are comfortable to race on any track.

Can you elaborate a little bit more on what is happening?
I build and tune my car perfectly it races like a dream on the parties laps but as soon as I get into a multiplayer match right out the gate my reAR end goes nuts and I can’t keep it under control
I’ve heard this afew times, but I’ve never noticed it myself. I’d say its a mentality thing. In multiplayer your probably trying to hard, so your throttle inputs aren’t as smooth as in test drive, where your more relaxed.

This.
There is no difference between any of the modes. I’ve driven 1000s of miles online, on leaderboards, in career and in tuning. No difference.
Generally multiplayer just shows the faults of your car. The best race car isn’t always the fastest lap producing car.
In addition, it’s hard to tune a car perfectly when you’re alone. The only thing you can do is run it hard until it crashes. On tracks I know well I can usually iron out a killer tune without testing it in rivals or multiplayer. More often then not, I have to hotlap the car to really find its faults. On most tracks I’m way faster in hotlap than in practice because in practice I’m not always driving the car to the limit (even though I feel like I am). Once that is ironed out, then it’s multiplayer testing. Multiplayer helps determining how many lines you can take and how the car performs when trying to catch the person in front.
I’ve had to train myself to race the track and not the guy in front of me that I’m trying to catch.

I agree completely with the last 2 posts. Thats not to say that lobbies won’t have lag or weird things here and there, but that’s got nothing to do with the tune. I know for sure I have had to pay attention to not over driving or driving differently online that I do in rivals or testing. That adrenaline gets going and it’s easy to push too hard losing time. At least I can say that personally, thats what I have experienced.
The for all the advice I will try some of the things I have read
Also, talking and paying attention to what others are saying can produce issues.
Instances where everything is quiet and the you here “expletive you, you expletive expletive expletive! Expletive expletive kid. I’m going to expletive expletive your expletive expletive. Boot this expletive expletive! Expletive!”
Had this happen last night and my car drove awful and was sliding. I had lost all focus from the epic rant.
When racing online I have found the line you have tuned your car to run is not always available. I brake early to get better acceleration out of a turn but most people drive in harder than i like. When I drive in faster than I want my car can become unstable and lose traction as well. At times you take a path to avoid slower cars or a wreck and aren`t even close to what you tuned for.Not sure if this is part of what you are experiencing but something to consider.

It’s easy to drive well by yourself when there’s no one else to pressure you, but when you’re online and trying to keep up with everyone else you tend to make more mistakes than you usually would.
If your back end is getting loose easily then you should probably adjust your tire pressure, brake pressure, and maybe the anti-roll bars too.
I would also agree with others and say its more driver then tune. Being around other cars can mess everything up. Having to brake a split second later, not being able to apex correctly, having somebody on your inside rear quarter panel preventing you from turning in where you want to. Everything adds up to thinking its the tune when its actually just racing instances. Focus on being smooth even while others are around you and just relax.
Prime example: Lap 1 around Indy gp my mazda Rx-8 felt horrible. I was sliding everywhere holding up a Mercury cougar behind me. He bobbled and gave me some room breath then it was smooth sailing running down 1st place. Lap 2 and 3 the car was perfect and caught 1st place going into the first corner. Just like that the car turned into his evil brother and was giving me wheel spin issues and I know it was my fault. I was pushing the car to hard on corner exit trying to get around 1st. I was locking up going into some corners by trying to be to aggressive on the braking zones. Needless to say I couldn’t get around him but it was my own doing. If I just would have raced my race and stayed relaxed I would have gotten around him much easier.
No difference dude no excuses it’s the same just keep a cool head in the lobbies and you will find the car handles and feels the same online.
