Recommended changes
Baseline direction: Keep the car low and controlled. Prioritize clean rotation and braking stability.
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: Start near a balanced road pressure, then adjust front or rear based on grip loss.
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: Add front bite gradually before making big suspension changes.
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: Soften the front direction or add rear rotation carefully.
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 stable setup before lowering or stiffening too much.
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
