Gearbox: staged over the race distance
Unlike other disciplines, the gearbox is not set from a minimum and a maximum speed. It is staged by simulating an acceleration run over the exact distance of the race you picked in the game, including the shift time of your gearbox. The result tells you when the car reaches that distance and whether the aerodynamic drag caps the speed.
Suspension: weight to the rear
A drag setup lets the weight transfer to the rear on launch to put traction on the driven wheels, with controlled dampers so the car does not bounce.
Differential: locked on acceleration
The acceleration lock is high for launch traction, so both driven wheels push the car instead of one spinning.
Alignment and tyres
Alignment is straight-line oriented. Set the tyre pressure to the maximum the game allows: in game, a higher pressure gives more speed.
Practical tips
-
01
Pick the exact race distance before computing the gearbox.
-
02
Check the simulated time: if the car cannot reach the distance, the result warns you.
-
03
Test your launch and shifts: the best gearbox still needs a clean start.
FAQ
Why is the drag gearbox different?
It is staged by an acceleration simulation over the distance of the race, not from speed limits like the other disciplines.
Does tyre pressure matter?
In game, a higher pressure gives more speed, so setting the maximum is better for drag.
