Preset execution map

Use this map to turn a shareable preset URL into a repeatable test path. The goal is a car-specific setup only after the baseline proves useful.

Start with the symptom

This page is for unstable-braking first. Avoid changing gearing, alignment, and differential all at once.

Open calculator state

The live preset keeps class, drivetrain, race type, issue, and style editable for your exact build.

Record car fit

Start with cars similar to 2025 Toyota GR GT Prototype or 2005 Honda NSX-R before promoting the preset as a stronger recommendation.

Handoff to guides

Use the guide path to understand why the preset changes that slider group before making deeper edits.

When to use it

Use this preset for fast dirt or mixed events where braking zones are rough enough to unsettle the car.

Tuning intent

Make braking calmer before chasing corner speed or top-end power.

Generated baseline

Forza Horizon 6 baseline tune

S1 AWD dirt setup for a stable driver trying to fix unstable braking.

Baseline direction

Add compliance. The car needs to absorb bumps instead of skipping across the surface.

Test: Run the same route twice and only change one category at a time.

Tire pressure

Use a more forgiving pressure direction for bumps and uneven surfaces.

Test: Run two laps and watch whether grip fades or the car feels lazy.

Alignment

Use a moderate alignment baseline and tune after tire pressure feels stable.

Test: Use a medium-speed corner and check whether the car misses apexes or rotates too quickly.

Anti-roll bars

Keep ARBs balanced until you know whether the car needs more rotation or more stability.

Test: Check one corner entry and one corner exit separately.

Springs and ride height

Use a softer, taller setup than road racing so the car can absorb bumps.

Test: Drive over curbs, crests, or rough exits and watch for bouncing or sudden grip loss.

Differential

Use AWD balance to add traction without making the car refuse to rotate.

Test: Exit the same slow corner three times and compare throttle confidence.

Gearing

Keep gearing matched to the event type before chasing top speed.

Test: Use the longest straight and slowest exit in your target event.

Testing checklist

Run this before copying the generated baseline into a car page, Discord note, or tune-code workflow.

Use this preset only when the car matches S1 class, AWD, dirt, and the first problem is unstable-braking.
Use the calculator link before testing so the baseline remains adjustable instead of becoming a static copy-paste tune.
Drive the same route, weather, assists, and input device twice before deciding whether the preset helped.
Move from this baseline to a car-specific setup only after the same symptom improves across repeatable runs.
Brake in a straight line first, then trail brake lightly.
Check if instability comes from bumps or rear rotation.
Soften the platform before making differential changes.
Retest after lowering power if the build is too sharp.

Recommended changes
Baseline direction: Add compliance. The car needs to absorb bumps instead of skipping across the surface.
Why: Race surface changes the tuning target more than any single slider.
Test: Run the same route twice and only change one category at a time.

Tire pressure: Use a more forgiving pressure direction for bumps and uneven surfaces.
Why: Tire pressure changes contact feel, heat behavior, and how quickly the car responds.
Test: Run two laps and watch whether grip fades or the car feels lazy.

Alignment: Use a moderate alignment baseline and tune after tire pressure feels stable.
Why: Alignment is one of the fastest ways to change corner entry and mid-corner grip.
Test: Use a medium-speed corner and check whether the car misses apexes or rotates too quickly.

Anti-roll bars: Keep ARBs balanced until you know whether the car needs more rotation or more stability.
Why: ARBs shape how the car transfers weight and rotates through corners.
Test: Check one corner entry and one corner exit separately.

Springs and ride height: Use a softer, taller setup than road racing so the car can absorb bumps.
Why: Suspension controls platform stability, bump absorption, and confidence at speed.
Test: Drive over curbs, crests, or rough exits and watch for bouncing or sudden grip loss.

Differential: Use AWD balance to add traction without making the car refuse to rotate.
Why: Differential settings decide how power turns into rotation, traction, or wheelspin.
Test: Exit the same slow corner three times and compare throttle confidence.

Gearing: Keep gearing matched to the event type before chasing top speed.
Why: Good gearing keeps the engine useful in the part of the race that matters most.
Test: Use the longest straight and slowest exit in your target event.

Route checklist
Entry - Brake + turn-in: Car points in without darting or plowing
Apex - Rotation: Holds the inside line with steady throttle
Exit - Power down: Leaves the corner without snap or wheelspin

Preset FAQ

When should I use the S1 AWD dirt tune preset for unstable braking?
