Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 1

Tonight I wanted to try my hand at tuning a small mid-engined car for time attack racing. Generally speaking, time attack tuning a rear-wheel drive car is tough for me - most of my configurations are better for sliding, not gripping. I've only taken the car for a test drive down Akagi so I don't know how it will do on the leader boards. The plan is to rank the car tomorrow night when I have time, but for now I'll at least release the tune I have put together.

Old Tunes - Balance In A Drift Car

When building a drift car, throwing large amount of power under the hood won't automatically make it better. At some point a car's power level can become too much for the car to be functional. For this video I wanted to try to show that you can reach a power level that is strong enough to keep the car in motion, yet not so strong that the car spins out.

Old Tunes - Starter Drift Car

I created this tune for people that start playing TXRD2 and get frustrated with building a drift car. With the setup I made, anyone should be able to pick up the controller and throw the car sideways with relative ease.
