This minimalistic set-up is the result of preparing the car for its manufacturer races.

This R/R car does not handle well, at all, with the default settings. There are still some oversteer problems, though, usually on 5th or 6th gear curve exits. Control it with a little bit of trail braking (keep your right foot planted while gently adding a bit of braking with your left).

The engine does need the added power to win the Tokyo race, which seems to be the track that causes the most trouble for this car, for the Alpine series. If you look at the torque and power chart, you will see you have a very narrow band to use - the engine is very peaky, so an auto transmission will therefore give you a poorer response. Also, as set up above, the steering requires either very small amounts of input or very quick reactions to counter the occassional oversteer that can still maddeningly put you into the wall. Be ready for anything, but be gentle.

Gears: the Auto/Final just misses the top end on Tokyo.

You do not need TCS on a low powered RR car.
