Build your car and write down weight of vehicle and weight distribution %.
Tires: 28/28 (after entering all tuning settings, run telemetry to set hot tire psi in the 32.0-33.0 range.)
Transmission: Set final drive to desired speed if it’s adjustable.
Camber: Stack default on top of -2.0/-2.0 (ex: -1.5/-.7 becomes -3.5/-2.7)
Toe: 0/0 0/0
Caster: 7.0
Roll Bars: Divide default in half
Springs: Divide car weight in half and multiply by weight distribution. Result is
Front spring setting. Subtract front spring setting from half weight of car.
Result is rear spring setting. (ex: 2000/2=1000. 1000x.46=460, this is front
spring setting. 1000-460=540, this is rear spring setting).
Ride Height: As low as possible without bottoming out.
Rebound: Stack .5 on top of default (ex: 8.9/9.4 becomes 9.4/9.9)
Bump: Multiply default by .3 (ex: 6.1/5.8 becomes 1.8/1.7)
Aero: Full down force, move front and rear all the way to the right
Brakes: 40/110
Differential: RWD 9/27 FWD 33/0 AWD 33/0 60/60 80
Pretty good job befuddler…just tried this on a couple of cars and ran a quick test. Very good as base tunes to then tweak away. This will help many of the newcomers. Thanks for sharing.
Goonies, I know you were looking for some tuning info/help. This (thanks to befuddler) and several other (Universal Tuning System, and so on) threads should help you. I will PM you some links. Take care buddy!
Just tested this out on a BMW M3 for A class @ Sebring Full. The car handled very well! Obviously not Leader board times here because of all the XBows, but made the car very easy to drive! Thanks Befuddler!
Befuddler, you’re a genius. For someone who just wants to “play”, this system is hard to beat. I’ve taken about a dozen cars I’ve never tuned before, applied the TMT and went to the no collision A class hopper and had excellent results.
Hi Befuddler, it’s people like you who keep these community’s going. I know a couple of weeks ago you had a few who challenged the last one! But with help from other people in the community you keep your head up and came back with this latest version. I have tuned a few cars and think there great! Like you said it’s about fun and this gives people like me who don’t really know where to start a GREAT place to start so thanks and well done ! Top guy
i use similar method however i reduce the maths final spring weight by 20-25 % and flip the roll bar settings for rwd so higher rear and lower fronts also i do this with awd and mid engined cars seems to work great for me great post again keep up the good work!!
On AWD I usually go 0/33 20/60 60% and work from there…maybe 0.1 front toe or bring the rear aero down to 190-195.On FWD 5/75 and less rear aero because you’re doing widest rear tire glitch and 0.1 on front toe also…Gets you in the ballpark
Thanks for the TMT!
