Differential Tuning Features

If you worked on the Differential of your car, it would have an impact on its traction, stability, and handling. All are essential elements related to drifting.

The following are the car upgrades related to tuning your Differential:

• Front/Rear Bias
• Acceleration/Deceleration

Forza Motorsport 8 Drifting Guide

Front/Rear Bias

This car setting centers on how much torque is supplied to the front or back wheels. By dragging a slider from 0% (front) to 100% (rear), you may change the torque supply.

The best torque setting is determined by your car’s drivetrain and driving style.

For Drifting

For drifting, you want to assign more power to the back wheels since it helps your car to launch and maintain slides.

Front/Rear Bias Notes

Excessive Rear Bias can make the car unstable and difficult to control. You can resolve this by trial and error of these settings. In order to see the fit, see how your car respond to throttle inputs when racing along corners.

Acceleration/Deceleration

This car setting refers to how much the wheels lock together during acceleration and deceleration. Drag the slider from 0% (open) to 100% (locked) to apply adjustments.

The best setting for Acceleration/Deceleration is determined by your car’s power, weight, and tires.

Forza Motorsport 8 Weight Reduction vs Power Increase

For Drifting

Increase your acceleration and reduce your deceleration values. This will result in transmitting power to your car’s wheels and change in speed with your car’s throttle.

Acceleration/Deceleration Notes

Don’t have a too high and too low values on your car’s Acceleration/Deceleration. Again, try different values and see how your car will respond to the throttle adjustments especially in bending driveways. If you failed to do so, you will be ending up understeering or oversteering through the curve roads.
