Introduction
In forza horizon 2, drag racing is a new rival-based event type that pits you against another car in a one-on-one, point-to-point sprint. To be successful in drag racing, you’ll need to fine-tune your car for optimum performance. Here’s a guide on how to do just that.
The Basics of Drag Tuning
drag racing is all about going fast in a straight line, and the key to winning is having a car that’s tuned perfectly for the track. In forza horizon 2 there are a few things you’ll need to do to make sure your car is ready for action.
First, you’ll need to make sure your tires are properly inflated. If they’re not, you won’t have as much grip and you won’t be able to go as fast. You can find the recommended tire pressure in the tune menu under “Tire Setup.”
Next, you’ll want to adjust your suspension. Drag racing is all about straight-line speed, so you don’t need to worry about cornering. That means you can stiffen up your suspension and lower your ride height to improve your aerodynamics. You can find these settings in the “Suspension Setup” menu.
Finally, you’ll need to adjust your gears. Drag racing is all about acceleration, so you want to make sure you have the right gear ratio for your engine. A higher gear ratio will give you more power, but it will also make your car slower to accelerate. You can find these settings in the “Gear Setup” menu.
With these three things taken care of, your car should be ready for action on the drag strip!
suspension
To get the most out of your drag car’s acceleration, you’ll need to pay attention to its suspension tuning. This involves adjusting the car’s ride height, which in turn alters the car’s center of gravity. A lower center of gravity will make your car more stable and better able to put its power down, while a higher center of gravity will make it more agile but less stable.
There are three main aspects to tuning your car’s suspension: spring rate, anti-roll bars, and shocks. Spring rate refers to how stiff or soft your car’s springs are. Softer springs will make your car more comfortable to drive but less able to put its power down, while stiffer springs will do the opposite. Anti-roll bars (or sway bars) connect the left and right sides of your car’s suspension and help to prevent it from rolling over in corners. Shocks (or dampers) control how quickly your car’s springs can rebound after being compressed.
All of these settings can be adjusted in the Suspension menu of the Tuning section in Forza Horizon 2. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for you and your drag car.
drivetrain
There are four main categories that everyDrag Car must be tuned for: Power, Aerodynamics, Suspension, and Drivetrain. Of these, the most important is the Drivetrain. It’s what transfers the power from the engine to the wheels and handles all the weight of the car. So, how do you tune your drivetrain for optimal performance?
There are two things you need to take into consideration when tuning your drivetrain: gear ratios and final drive ratio. Gear ratios determine how much power is transferred to the wheels at each gear. A higher gear ratio means more power is transferred, but it also means that the car will accelerate more slowly. The final drive ratio is similar, but it’s determined by the size of the differential gears. A smaller differential gear will transfer less power to the wheels but will allow for faster acceleration.
To find the optimal gear ratios for your car, you’ll need to experiment on the track and see what works best for you. There’s no one perfect answer, as each car and track are different. Once you’ve found a good starting point, you can then adjust your final drive ratio to fine-tune your acceleration. Again, there’s no one perfect answer here – it all depends on your driving style and what kind of performance you’re looking for from your car.
tires
Drag racing is all about getting your car to hook up and put the power down to the ground. In Forza Horizon 2, there are a few things you can do to make sure your car is ready to race. First, you’ll want to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Too much air pressure will result in less grip, and too little air pressure will cause your tires to overheat. You’ll also want to make sure your tire compound is matched to the surface you’re racing on. Slick tires are best for smooth surfaces like asphalt, while treaded tires are better for loose surfaces like dirt.
Once your tires are sorted, you’ll need to adjust your car’s suspension. softer springs will give you more grip but less handling, while stiffer springs will do the opposite. You’ll also want to make sure your suspension is properly aligned. This can be done by visiting a garage in Forza Horizon 2 and selecting the “Alignment” option.
Finally, you’ll need to tune your car’s transmission for optimal performance. Shorter gears will give you more acceleration but less top speed, while longer gears will do the opposite. You can experiment with different gear ratios to find what works best for you.
weight
One of the most important things you can do to tune your drag car in Forza Horizon 2 is to adjust the weight distribution. This will help you to get the best possible launch off the line, and also improve your handling and braking.
There are a few different ways to adjust the weight distribution of your car, but the most common is by using ballast. This is simply extra weight that you add to the car, usually in the form of lead balls, to help shift the center of gravity.
Another way to adjust weight distribution is by changing the location of your battery, or even removing it altogether. This will usually make your car lighter overall, which can be helpful in some situations. Just be aware that without a battery, your car will not be able to start once it has been turned off – so make sure you have a backup plan!
Finally, you can also adjust weight distribution by changing the pressure in your tires. This is something that you will need to experiment with to find what works best for your car and track conditions. Generally speaking, lower pressures will help your car grip better in corners, while higher pressures will help with straight-line stability and traction.
aerodynamics
Aerodynamics play a big role in how your car handles on the track. In Forza Horizon 2, you can tweak your car’s aero settings to find the perfect balance of downforce and drag.
To tune your car’s aerodynamics, open the Upgrades menu from the Garage. Select Aerodynamics from the list of available upgrade types. Here, you can adjust the following settings:
-Rear Spoiler Angle: This controls the angle of the rear spoiler. A larger angle will create more downforce, but will also increase drag.
-Front Bumper Aires: This controls the size of the front bumper aires. Larger aires will create more downforce, but will also increase drag.
-Rear Bumper Aires: This controls the size of the rear bumper aires. Larger aires will create more downforce, but will also increase drag.
-Skirts and Sideskirts: These control the amount of air that can flow under your car. Less air flow means less drag, but also less downforce.
– diffuser: This controls how much air flows through the diffuser at the rear of your car. More air flow means more downforce, but also more drag..
power
As you may know, in Forza Horizon 2, there are three main ways to tune your drag car: power, suspension, and transmission. In this article, we will be focusing on power.
Power is the most important aspect of tuning your drag car. The goal is to get as much power to the ground as possible. To do this, you need to find the right balance between engine tuning and tire pressure.
Engine tuning is all about finding the sweet spot for your car. You want to make sure that your engine is making as much power as possible without sacrificing reliability. This can be a delicate balance, but it’s important to find it if you want to win races.
Tire pressure is also important for drag cars. You want to make sure that your tires are inflated properly so that they don’t overheat and explode mid-race. But at the same time, you don’t want them to be so underinflated that they can’t grip the road. Again, it’s all about finding the right balance.
These are just a few tips on how to tune your drag car in Forza Horizon 2. If you want to learn more, be sure to check out our other articles on this topic.
launch
If you want to cross the finish line first in Forza Horizon 2, you’re going to have to master the art of the launch. Here are some tips to help you get started.
The key to a successful launch in Forza Horizon 2 is all about timing. You’ll need to release the clutch and hit the gas pedal at just the right moment to get a good start. If you hit the gas too early, you’ll spin out; if you hit it too late, you’ll bog down and get left in the dust.
One way to practice your timing is to use the “manual” transmission option in Forza Horizon 2. This will give you more control over your car’s acceleration, and it will also allow you to “feel” when the car is ready to launch.
Another way to perfect your launch technique is to make use of Forza Horizon 2’s “drag strips.” These are special sections of road that are designed specifically for drag racing. You’ll find them scattered throughout the game world, and they’re usually marked on your map with a special icon.
Drag strips are the perfect place to practice your launches, because they’re straight and flat (which means there’s no worry about losing traction), and they’re also usually deserted (so you don’t have to worry about traffic). Just find a drag strip, line up your car at the starting line, and let ‘er rip!
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are many factors to consider when tuning your drag car in Forza Horizon 2. You need to take into account the weight of your car, the power of your engine, the aerodynamics of your car, and the traction of your tires. You also need to find the right balance between all of these factors to ensure that your car is able to perform at its best.
