BEST MODE for racing

i dont know if I am just not in the right setting...(sport plus or 2WD)... but when I have been racing people on the street....it seems like I am not going fast enough... this maybe a dumb question... but what is the best setting and method to get optimal speed for racing? thanks

Please race on the track, but yes you should be in AWD for drag.

Yeah 2WD is only for messing around or track time (if you REALLY want that RWD feel). AWD Sport seems to be my favorite for really pushing it. And of course Sport+ engine, S3, etc...

Always in AWD. I'd recommend my M1 settings for most straight-line scenarios.

My M1 is set to...
Engine: Sport+
Suspension: Comfort
Steering: Comfort/Sport/Sport+ (your preference)
Transmission: S3
DSC: MDM


My M2 is set to...
Engine: Sport+
Suspension: Sport+
Steering: Sport+
Transmission: S3
DSC: Off
