Drivetrain direction
Use RWD for cleaner angle control and more natural throttle steering.
Why: RWD is expressive but punishes abrupt throttle.
Test: Hold one long corner before testing transitions.

Pick your drift build style and the problem you are trying to fix. Use the output as a repeatable first test, then refine around your car and controller or wheel.
Preset links keep the selected options in the URL. These outputs are baseline tuning notes, so test in-game before calling a setup final.
Generated baseline
Forza Horizon 6 drift tune baseline
RWD drift setup for a beginner driver. Main issue: cannot hold angle.
Alignment
Increase front bite and make the car more willing to rotate.
Why: Drift alignment controls how quickly the car initiates and how it catches transitions.
Test: Enter a medium-speed corner and check whether the car catches smoothly.
Differential
Increase lock if the car will not hold angle under throttle.
Why: Differential lock controls how aggressively both driven wheels rotate together.
Test: Use second or third gear and hold a steady throttle through one corner.
Gearing
Keep the main drift gears close enough that the car does not fall out of boost or torque.
Why: A drift car needs usable torque during the slide, not only a high top speed.
Test: Check whether one gear can carry a whole corner without bouncing the limiter.
Tires
Use enough grip to control the car, but not so much that it refuses to rotate.
Why: Too much grip can prevent initiation; too little grip makes transitions messy.
Test: Try one corner at constant throttle and watch whether angle builds gradually.
Driver note
Favor predictability over maximum angle.
Why: A setup that looks fast on paper is useless if the driver cannot repeat it.
Test: Do three runs and keep the setup only if the third run is easier than the first.
