🧠 Understanding Car Classes

In FH5, cars are divided into performance classes based on their PI (Performance Index):

Class PI Range Notes
D 100–399 Classic and low-tier vehicles
C 400–599 Entry-level, often tuned into fun cars
B 600–699 Great for early racing and rallying
A 700–799 Balanced mix of speed and control
S1 800–899 Fast cars; ideal for street and dirt
S2 900–998 Hypercars and track monsters
X 999 Max-tuned beasts; mostly for fun

🛠️ Car Customization Tips

🔧 Tuning Basics
-Upgrade tires first for grip.
-Weight reduction is huge for cornering.
-Suspension & brakes = critical for dirt and road handling.
-Add aero (spoilers/splitters) for better cornering — especially for Road Racing.

⚙️ Drivetrain Swaps
AWD = better off-road and acceleration.
RWD = better for drifting.
FWD = mostly weaker; avoid for performance.
