I haven't been able to find any tunes on this car. Its quite good from stock but I want it to be faster so I can compete in more challenging races. Any tunes on this car please anybody. I would like it to be my best hatchback car

@TeaKanji has an excellent tuning guide for GT4 on Youtube. If you've got the time to watch through it, it goes through everything.

Thanks I have watched that but I'm having a problem with the Focus RS in particular. I cant add much Horse Power to the car at all but I can make the Ford Focus St170 more powerful without the problems I face with the Focus RS. The RS has a big traction problem. Its acceleration is on and off. I find it weird that I can make the ST170 faster than the RS. Maybe somebody has a solution to making the RS put its power down better with a good tuning setup

From memory the RS is lighter. For front wheel drive cars that usually reduces traction. If you add ballast weight to the front axle it may help the car put the power down better. Adding a rear wing in GT Auto will also help.

Thanks, I did just that. I added a stage 1 turbo and added 50kg to the front ballast. It handles good but there's still a bit of "skipping" when accelerating. half way through the gear it feels like it stops and starts 2 or 3 times before going full power. This car is good but I think other front wheel drive hatchbacks have more potential for tuning. The car has 260 BHP and it could be better but its decent enough. I'm getting 1'43.699 on Seattle Circuit
