That’s hardly the fault of the Bone Shaker. Sure, front aero on A class is only possible with ruining the whole car but even without front aero the AWD build works just fine. All you need is an oversteery yet stable tune. You can go rather aggressive with the ARBs, more conservatively with the springs and then put ~85% of the power to the rear. Rear aero as low as possible.
Then you have the jack of all trades car which can handle tight circuits, sprints, grip and dirt races. No throttle control needed, no manual shifting. Just hop in and be fast. Extremely boring to drive but if winning is all you want, go for it.
I drive for fun, not winning. Some of my favorite cars are the classic racers. The P3 is an outstanding drift car. It’s small and fairly easy to control so drift zones are a bit more managable in it. But it’s not a Lambo so most people over look it.
Same with the Sprite, good car in a lot of cases where the big old super cars run out of road to score on.
They are also fun to race as long as you can avoid the ragers that can’t understand how tuning works.
If the sprite is outrunning your Porshe, that’s your problem, not mine so please learn to drive and stop wrecking smiley.
Can you fit wider front tyres or is that too much of a PI sink?
Also, do you go with Off-Road Tyres and Suspension or are the race components good enough on that car for it to be used on dirt?
Right now I have the Subaru 22B as my go-to A-Class car in Ranked (Jaguar F-Pace for Cross-Country) but if the Bone Shaker can also handle the dirt well then it may be a viable alternative, since I can use it for Freeroam Rush.
That’s acutally the “joke” on this car. AWD allows the front tyres to use the biggest width while RWD doesn’t do that. Reason being the PI loss you get on AWD from getting wider rear tyres. Which then you can put nearly all power to with a diff. Forza tuning “exploit” at its finest.
I use the race suspension and normal tyres (don’t know if off-roads are actually available). If you want to make it dirt-ready (cross-ountry should be avoided because of its low weight and low height) just find a spot where the springs are stiff enough for road racing and soft enough for dirt. Huge jumps stay a small problem though.
I would say if comparing lap times on dirt races the Subarus may have a slight advantage but the Bone Shaker will beat them on freeroam rush.
Maybe own two Bone Shaker. One for road racing + freeroam rush and one for dirt + freeroam rush (with off-road suspension).
Didn’t build a full dirt car yet, just the “Jack of all Trades” car.
I have build my own bit different way i use race tires and stock front tire width. And i tested that my version lose few second per lap on my go to rally cars. I try to build rally version and see how mutch faster it will go.
Edit: After installing rally tires and supsension and more power it was abaout 3 second faster than road version. I then use my go to rally car and it was really tight race witch one is faster.
