BornTwisted's Forza 3 Stats

With the addition of drift mode in Forza3 this is what I've spent most of my time playing. Below are my stats for the Leaderboard, Drift, RWD all assists turned off, manual gears and auto clutch.

Tuning

I'm no tuning expert (far from it) but putting my setups here for reference.

If your looking for information on tuning then look for posts by The Stig on this forum thread and for some free drift setups check out the FM3 Drift Database.

For drift specific tuning SFX Walker's *Tuning Guide* for Drifting Competitions is well worth a read.

The drift setups below are my own, feel free to use, tweak and improve them to suit your own sytle.
