Hey guys, sorry I sound a bit stuffed up in this video 🤧 I've been dealing with covid for like 2 weeks now and eventually decided I just had to get the audio done as best as I could, hopefully it's not too noticeable!!
Two weeks ? Dang feel better
Thanks! Been feeling mostly fine for a week or so now but my sinuses are still a mess 😵💫
@@HokiHoshiyea it can be pretty miserable I had it in March
Yikes! Hope you get better soon
I haven’t been checking your page every day for the last week waiting for this video
another good rule of thumb at least as a general idea for tuning compression on the springs is to aim for 60-65% compression through most turns and making sure not to max them out in high compression zones. Suzuka is a great place to tune because T1 is a high compression turn to make sure you wont max out the spring, the next series of S's are fantastic for dialing in your cambers, the left hander up hill exiting sector one is perfect for setting the accel on the diff, the double right hander following that is perfect for setting both brake bias and decel on the diff, the hairpin following that is great to make sure either 1st or second gear can pull from a low speed, Spoon turn after that is great for checking how the car feels putting power down in an off-camber setting, 130R is the ideal turn for checking aero balance in the car, and the final chicane is great for checking rebound stiffness making sure that the car isnt too agressive/sluggish. Nice to see someone actually mentioning the proper way to tune camber. great video m8
This comment deserves to be pinned, you made great points for tuning cars at Suzuka. It all makes sense now after all, it was build as a Honda testing track.
I was using Kyalami since it is a fresh track with some great corners and easy to level cars up considering how often you can get 10.0 for sectors. Also due to lack of Nordschleife which is my go to for tuning.
ESV Lawrence here, thank you bud I do hope somewhere down the line once "Everything" has been worked out we can revisit and give some more high end information out❤❤
Thanks ❤
I just started playing this game and don't understand why this comment is getting So many likes (Woosh) someone care to explain a bit?
@@pflolssa Those kind of information isn’t usually shared, at least not this early. The ESV guys basically run the leaderboards, so they know their shit.
So two things happend here:
Hoki usually explained how tubing works from a real life perspective, but this time skipped all of that and offered numbers that you can apply and they will result in better set ups immediately.
And to make this video, he had the best source available to deliver a great guide. His Older guides got criticized a lot and even though he doesn’t like meta tuning itself (tuning with unrealistic settings) he still made this guy and listened to feedback.
@@elhomoflow cool! I knew this game had layers and layers of deep seeded knowledge but damn this guide really REALLY opened my eyes and thank you for the information that's exactly what I was looking for :)
You guys are so fast I've chased you guy's for year's
This video has helped me more with learning tuning than any other, my test track is Catalunya, my lap times have improved by over 3 seconds thanks to this video.
I never tuned because I don’t know shit and always ended up making things worse,
Even after watching guides. After watching this video I went back to career mode and had a few cars that just felt terrible to drive. Set them on the base tunes recommended here and instantly improved lap time by 3 seconds and felt great. This video saved the game for me
What helped you the most? 3seconds would make me a top driver.
FInally, I've been waiting for this since launch. It's pretty obvious that most other tuning guides come from people who might know how tuning should work but have no idea how tuning in forza actually works (40/40 arbs, Max/Min aero, 100/0 Diff). This guide on the other hand lays out the quirks of Forza tuning for everyone to understand and getting help from high level drivers adds a lot to the video. This video is an invaluable resource for both new players and long time Forza fans alike. Can't wait for something like category specific tuning guides for TCR, GT and co. in the future, keep up the great work!
Thank you for making this video. Almost every tuning video is “this part does this. Too much does this and too little does this.” Without actually saying what they are setting it to and when. Not to mention a lot of parts affect the same things in different ways. Great video!
Some ppl are so ungrateful of others time and effort and expect there hand held at every turn in there gaming experience rather than working things out for themself lol 🤦
You’re exactly right. I watch this video literally every time I start tuning a new car as a refresher. It’s so well organised with accurate time stamps also makes it a breeze. This is my tuning bible at this point. While I don’t have the best tuned cars I end up having a lot more fun with the game thanks to this video alone. So big ups!!!
The first actually good tuning guide for the game. Almost every other one is just people spouting off what they *think* things do and what they do IRL rather than what they *actually* do in-game.
Great Video. I tested a Porsche #2 919 on Watkins Glen. Default I got 1.41.084. After messing following your video I cut my lap time down to 1.37.754 just using your bases as a starting point. Next I will try the differential, but I am so happy with my current tune, I don't even care.
This is the video I've been waiting for! Nobody does better tuning guides than Hoki. So much good info here. Love the little summary boxes on the right, I will definitely be pausing on those while tuning in game.
I used what I learned from this now I’m placing top 3. It literally helped me improve by 2-3 whole seconds on my usual laps. Thank you for the video it was VERY helpful
Great simple overview. Very well done. Thank you for this. The live gameplay showing the different effects of tuning was very beneficial
Thank you so much for this. Clear, concise, and effective. You’re the GOAT for essential tuning guides. Keep up the excellent work sir.
I can say myself that gear tuning can bring tonnes of life to a car in cornering and acceleration. Cars with unnecessarily long individual gears can benefit dramatically from this especially when coupled by running the manual w/ clutch transmission assist setting on the race gearbox.
I turned the C8 Z06 into a monster early on by investing on this upgrade and tuning, destroying the AI on the straights with faster shifts and better power bands. It all translated beautifully to online play with buddies and I wouldn't even say that is a meta car.
Tuning obviously is a great spectrum but I'd say the race gearbox upgrade is a golden upgrade. Don't skip it on any build
Literally watched this video at work, came home, applied it, and got my first P1 EVER online. Thank you
Been looking forward to hearing about your advice. l've been having a lot of fun in rivals, and was looking for a good place to start with tuning
Finally!! The tuning video I’ve been waiting for!! Excellent work my man!!
The side descriptions of each category going over the ranges and added tips really helped. Appreciate the extra effort!
Thanks for the guide. Went from 4-5 in qualis to winning the qualis and races on touring cars (multiplayer). Went about 1-2 second quiker on hot lap
Been waiting like all the other comments have said. Thank you very much for your work man !
you have no idea how much this helped. turned my BMW M8 GTE from a practically undrivable, oversteery mess clocking in at a lap time of 1:51.7 flat to a time (admittidly, with the help of track knowlege) in the mid 1:46s with so much less oversteer! other turning tutorials tried to acheive the same thing but didn't show what it did to the car and what to change if x or y happens. Turn10 better thank you because you probably have gotten people (myself included) back interested into the game
These settings worked for me. I used it for the #73 Type R Civic. I love that car. It’s the only car I’ve been driving. It’s the sound with Dolby and headphones. I really like how you give us a base to start with, unlike other videos.
Thanks, bro, I have been waiting for this from you!
Thanks a lot for this! I added a link to this video on my website for my club. This is going to be a priceless tool. Ties in nicely to our new series'. Well done!
Great video. Been testing a lot myself. Had it down but was scared of the anti-squat and anti-dive settings. Good explanation. This game is a lil bit deeper than most think.
glad you made this video i learned alot of my tuning from you along with alot of trial and error. As far as tuning goes you make realistic adjustments typically and i have had best results going off information you have compiled.
The legend has dropped his legendary guide once again! Thank you a ton HokiHoshi!!!
Came on youtube to find a video on trying to dial out some understeer (not confident enough to race online yet but have "average" base tunes in career). Came accross this video and its simple, easy to understand and has rhe little recap notes on the Right hand side. Dedinatley will use this video going forwards!
Good tip Hoki thanks. I'm using this on my Ferrari Enzo in S-Class. There's few upgrade room in PI but the car is fully adjustable. Been helping me get the car set up for my driving style.
Thank you for this! Would love to see an in depth video at some point (how and when make certain changes to different parts of the setup for example).
Been waiting for this since the game came out, I used the fh5 tuning guide so far but this will be much better 👍
i appreciate your vids man thanks, i enjoy taking the time tuning and driving. thanks for explaing everything in tuning
Great Video, Well Presented - Massive improvements to my tunes. Thanks for the assistance 👍👍
The moment we've ALL been waiting for! Thank you! Hope you're at least feeling a little better.
My lotus emira is just so dialed because of you! Podium quite often with it! Thanks!
Thank you for this video i was able to get my STi in game to go from a 1:01 to a 0:56 and way more fun to drive and push now great video !
I'm glad this was made as I had been using the Forza Horizon 5 tuning guide and noticed it wasn't doing much in Forza Motorsport
Brother thank you very much for the video and all the good information.
Good save this video, I always struggled with tuning. Gonna give it a try with these hot hot tips
Awsome video as always. Your videos has helped me immensely i serveral versions of the Forza and Forza Horizion series. As also have recommended them to my friends.
Keep up the good work :)
😀Thanks.. I have been having a hard time traying to tune my cars for a while... I didn't know left and right about tuning in forza... I will put this tips to practice. Thanks a lot!
Newbie here . Thanks mate. Fantastic advice. Youve helped me no end. Cheers dude. Subscribed 👌
Thank you so much for making this. This helps a ton
Thanks for all the information 😊
Thanks man!! You made me a better tunner with this detailed guide (SUBSCRIVED) ❤
Great video this, its helped me understand tuning a little more. I am a controller player but im finding I have slightly better cars now, but often still finding myself stumped on how to rectify some handling issues.
I’ve watched this 37 times and still suck.
758.5 minutes of your life lost
I haven't played Motorsport properly since Forza Motorsport 2. So this guide definitely helped me get back into remembering how to tune properly. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Loving the game so far.
This is great info. Thank you so much
Very good video. Help me a lot. 0.8 sec faster in barcelona with my new setup in Audi RS3.
Got my STI 4.9 seconds faster around kyalami and it feels a lot more like my actual car. Awesome video. Thanks.
As a new player I feel like this is to much to learn on my own, thank you for the video!
Stunning as usual buddy
This is really good info. I've been tuning in games for many years but getting used to each games individual implementation is sometimes tricky. This is gold.
very helpful video thanks my friend!
Thanks! Great video as usual!
Even though I tune my cars this video actually gave me a better understanding of how to tune my cars better. Also I can’t tune the steering wheel and I have it set to simulation with controller.
Yeah is locked for me also on controller
Very informative- thank you
As always very informative video, cheers!
(now, back to driving stock tunes for me)
Great video thanks for the tips mate.
This is probably the 5-6x I’ve returned to your video, to catch something I may have missed, or am struggling with. Great info here.
Brilliant Hoki, thank you! If I could put in a request for a follow-up video... I would love you to run through a few examples where you apply these lessons to actual stock cars and show the process you go through to determine which upgrades to buy and then how you decide your tuning settings, etc. I've outlined my own approach below but would love to hear yours.
1) Base build: put on race springs, ARBs and dif to get the key tuning options;
2) Base tune: test drive a few laps. Use telemetry to base tune tyre temps to around 33c (when hot), springs just above bottoming out and camber a bit above 0 deg on the outside on tight turns. I'm also getting a feel for the car: how it brakes and whether it is stable turning in under braking; corner entry/exit, especially oversteer when accelerating out of a corner; gearing, especially spinning in low gears or hitting limiter in top gear on straights; etc. Note down your best lap time.
3) Detailed Build: back to upgrades to fix any flaws and/or max out the available points in that class. Add handling if needed (tyre compound, downforce), reduce weight if it feels particularly heavy, upgrade gearbox if gearing issues, and then max out with power upgrades to target class limit (PI). I prioritise handling but try to maximise power, so will try and get the fastest I can that is still fun to race. Then back to test it...
4) Detailed tune: test drive to check the new upgrades have addressed flaws and that the power isn't too much! Tune gears if required/available and tune ARB, springs, dif to get the feel you want. Re-check the points at 2) to check tyres temps, camber, springs OK. Return to 3) if required!
5) I sometimes save this as my 'balanced' tune and then make a 'grip' version and a 'fast' version using different parts/tuning on the base tune, especially where I've had to make a compromise due to lack of PI, or where there are lots of fun upgrade paths, etc. I'll tune them too and compare the laptimes across the 3 tunes. I can then choose the best/fastest or just have an alternative grippy tune to load for Virginia and a faster tune for Le Man!
Hope this helps someone but also hope to hear Hoki's approach(es)...
Thank you!
Heck yea! Long awaited.. been wondering when youd be finished with TestNTunes to drop this.
I just recently got into racing games, Motorsport caught my eye and I decided to give it a shot. All the tune options overwhelmed me, but this guide helped a complete car noob like me understand enough to be confident in how I tune.
Heh. Got curious so I used these same concepts in FH5. Getting really good results. This helped me a ton in FM too, but I found it amusing that it also helped with FH5.
I have been having good luck maxing out anti roll and then backing off the rear and the same with aero. Diffs I max out acceleration and zero out deceleration for RR cars and the. A 75/25 or around there for AWD cars. I also adjust psi to around 2.1 to 2.3 bar on tires. Race tires are a must also and adjusting the brake pressure to limit lockups under braking.
Big man, it's the people like you and your team. Thank you....
Wow I’m amazed really good video, I was in the Porsche #73 GT3 at Barcelona, my before tuning times were around 1:55 and after tuning it came down to 1:50.345, the car felt more stable coming out of turns and didn’t break traction as much when I laid on the throttle. Great video thanks mate! I’ll have to make a poster next to my setup to refer to for tuning!
Quick Update: Just did a 1:47:9__
I just started the video but thank you so much for making this
Thank you for this. Tuning is by far my weakest point in racing games as I don't understand what everything does. You explained it very well.
Amazing video mate
I watch this video pretty much every time I buy a new car on Forza. Thanks Mr Hoshi.
Amazing video. This helps a lotttttt
NAH LIKE LITERALLY THANK U SO MUCH 🤩🥳🥳🤩🤩
I find this video very informatively useful and learned things I didn't even knew about since the new tuning windows left me confused af.
also nice Audi livery 💗
With touring cars, I've been running very well with low downforce setups. Also, it is important to remind people that it's something they should tweak track to track, specially if it's something like le mans without chicanes, where you want the minimum downforce for the best top speed.
Great video, very helpful for tuning noobs like me.
Thank you Hoki👍🏽👍🏽
great video, thanks
This deserves millions of views.
Incredible video
Great guide! Thanks. 1 small gripe:
3:50 gearing does not alter horsepower. It alters torque (acceleration) v top end (speed).
i have been eagerly awaiting this video since Motorsport was released.
awesome bro ty!
I am German and as soon as I heard you pronouncing Porsche the right way you got me! 😂
Thank you!
Good guide. What things should I adjust in a wet race?
Tried to do a GIF of taking notes but GIFS aren't aloud in the comments. I really did take notes though haha. Thanks man, can't wait to go try the tuneage out.
Still a great guide TY ❤❤
Thank you 👍
Thanks!
Hey, nice video! Seems to me like you really know your stuff. All the cars you show in the video looked like they were on frickin rails, that's a good sign. I just had a couple of thoughts. 1) Maxing the rollbars makes sense for a racecar, since it has so much grip to take advantage of, but doing the same on a stock MX-5 will make control extremely difficult as you overload the tires constantly. Maybe worth mentioning in a future video? 2) In my opinion, you should set tire pressure for max grip, full stop. Why reduce your tire grip for more or less oversteer when you could use rollbars for the same thing, and ultimately have more grip? 3) F/R spring balance should be set based on whether you need more traction at the front or rear, not to affect the balance of grip. That's what rollbars are for!
Anyways, thanks for uploading :)
@HokiHoshi Fantastic in-depth video, Don't know why but I'm struggling to tune as the back end is slipping out under acceleration just comeing out of turn/corner. Ps: Its also a front engine awd car too 🤷
Cheers buddy 🎉
Thank u very much for this video. I was 2 minutes from to throw this game to hell. The understeer that untuned cars has original is a fucking joke. With the tuning tips you show in the the clip makes this game to another level! Big thank u!
1:14 thats the key
i always try to tell this to my friends who ask for tunes
the things that work for my style maybe don't work with yours
find a way to be confortable with the car and you will go faster and faster
The stiff ARBs suggestion is great for GT cars and other fast cars but if your building cars in builders cup for example low front ARB gives you the turn in lots of cars desperatly need and many RWD can benefit from softer rear to not oversteer
It would be cool to see you tune a car and hear your thoughts on why and how you are tuning the car. Maybe test driving and fixing issues to. I have been trying to tune the 2020 Audi r8, but I just can't get it to feel right.
👍 nice Work
It's a great video. Thank you!
It sucks to think though that we will spend all this time getting a great tune on the road only for some idiot to ram us off the track at either the first or final turn of the race.
