==============================================
VEHICLE SET-UPS: OVERVIEW
The vehicle set-ups suggested here are based upon my own
highly-aggressive driving style, and thus may not work for
every player. In general, I tend to use very high brake
strength (biased very closely to the rear of the vehicle) so
that I can go much deeper into corners before braking. I
also tend to straightline corners as much as possible,
especially when on a long downhill run (primarily on gravel
or asphalt), for which I also rarely use any braking.
Many tuning options for parts have a graph with a given
number of squares, with the center square slightly larger
than the others. For the purposes of simplicity, this guide
treats this larger center square as 0 (zero, or neutral). A
positive number means that the given part should be tuned
that many numbers to the right of the center circle (i.e., a
'+2' means that the player should move the right-most colored
circle two positions to the right of the center circle),
while a negative number means that the given part should be
tuned that many numbers to the left of the center circle
(i.e., a '-2' means that the player should move the right-
most colored circle two positions to the left of the center
circle).
Note that these tuning suggestions do not include the
driving-specific tuning options, as those are very much
player-dependent options, and are also global to V-Rally 3.
The main tuning options will need to be reconfigured for each
stage in V-Rally 3 in order to maximize vehicle performance.
Also, in V-Rally Mode (the game's career mode), there will
often be times when the player must successfully complete two
or more rally stages before arriving at a Service Area to
repair any damages and tune the car for the next set of
stages. The tuning set-ups suggested here are viable for
only a single stage, so the player will likely be forced to
make some potentially-difficult decisions when running
consecutive stages without a Service Area; for example:
1.) If the first stage has 85% mud and 15% wet gravel, and
the second stage has 100% loose gravel, which tire
compound is best to produce lower times across the
combined stages?
2.) If the first stage has numerous tight, twisty corners
with virtually no straightaways between them, and the
second stage has only very minor corners and rather
lengthy straightaways, what is the best gear ratio
setting to use across the combined stages?
Obviously, it is not always possible to achieve a 'happy
medium' between consecutive stages when the stages involved
are extremely different. This is where a lot of educated
guesswork comes into play. In these situations, it is very
important for the player to be consciously aware of the human
and vehicle limitations and strengths. Also, if the player
has previously amassed a great lead (of time) over the rest
of the competitors, then the player can lose a given amount
of time on one stage and excel on the other by tuning 'only'
for one of the stages (fully recognizing that time will be
lost on the other stage, but still tuning and driving in such
as manner as to attempt to minimize the time which will be
lost in this endeavor).

VEHICLE SET-UPS: 1.6L FWD CLASS
The vehicle set-ups are listed here in the country order used
in Time Attack Mode. Actual rallies in V-Rally Mode may
appear in a different order (and with different weather
conditions), and the stages used in Challenge Mode (whether
playing default challenges or player-created challenges) can
come from ANY country in ANY order. Remember that for the
purposes of V-Rally 3, the entire continent of Africa is
treated as a 'country.'
