Subject: Car Tuning for Dummies (i.e. me)
-------------------------------------------
Maybe I'm a complete idiot, but am I supposed to understand all that complicated Tuning stuff?
In the game I look and it says: Brake Stiffness - Soft/Hard, Brake Balance: Rear/Front, as if it's
OBVIOUS what the difference between Soft and Hard Brakes are! Then I get to change my Toe In - what's wrong with my toes? Do I want them In or Out?
So - I go to the manual... it's so helpful, it says:
"Brake Stiffness. Choose a setting between Soft and Hard"
Wow - that's soooooo useful. I know WHAT I can choose, I just haven't got the faintest idea WHY I want to chose it?
Since my car is sliding all over the place I'm assuming that I might be able to improve stuff by tuning it better - but I have no idea how to do that, and the manual is no use.
Is there a Car Tuning for Dummies guide available?
cheers

If you're a good driver and know how to tune, you can tune the car to better suit your driving style and the track conditions.
