Set your stance to default when racing


Recommended Posts

clinical oppression

I was wondering why I could never win races with the best tuner for racing, the calico . I was only winning with my jester rr . I was under the false  impression that my car was on default stance so I was perplexed as to why I was crashing on so many corners .  I didn't notice till I was at the car meet with the calico and it looked really low ....I went to interaction menu and it said lowered  so I went to default and backed out . I checked the I m again ...it said lowered.  I moved it again then pressed x and heard a verifying beep . Went back to check ....pfeew its on default..... went into a race and what a difference . I placed 2nd and corners were way smoother.  

  I know I'm a dummy but in case I'm not the only one .... make certain that your racing vehicles  stance is on default .

I had the same issue, thanks for posting!

What's really odd is that lowering the cars has a different effect per car, for example:
- Lowering the Euros makes it slide less but otherwise handles the same

- Lowering the Calico makes it faster but also almost unable to turn
- Lowering the ST3000 causes it to suddenly slide everywhere

Would be nice if they could've at least had some sort of consistency, i have never driven a 'slammed' car in real life so idk what actual effect (if any) it should have, but i'm pretty sure it shouldn't be a different effect for different vehicles being lowered the same amount?

The Warrener also slides a lot more and it gets a noticeable speed boost...Not enough to make it competitive though.

 

I think the stanced option makes almost all cars more prone to sliding, but makes their suspension clips through the collision body, which translates into a speed boost on the straights.

 

Having low grip tires also increases the top spee signifcantly, the Calico gets up to 150mph with the tires + stance option...But it's uncontrollable on corners and not race worthy.

I had this problem last night too and if you're not sure you can look at your car during the countdown timer and it will be normal height, but as soon as the race starts you'll see your car drop to the ground. It also doesn't matter what car you turn it on with during freemode, it stays on all tuner cars during races.
