AMG Unlimited Autocross Tunes

I've uploaded a couple of autocross tunes for this month's Community Monthly event AMG Unlimited.  As is my nature I avoided the cars that were being used the most by the top drivers and chose from there.  So no Stirling Moss or C65 Black. They're a meager 5000 credits but I'll gladly gift them if you want refine the tune or share in the clubs.

In order from slowest(and most ridiculous) to potentially fastest...

With 790 horse making 666 ft-lbs of torque I felt AWD was the best way to get the power down.  The consequence is like most AWD cars I've driven in Forza it doesn't like to turn under full accel. The rear also feels a bit light and behaves kinda like how the rear wants to rotate around on a front engine FWD car.
It's a handful but it's a lot quicker than I expected it to be.  I managed a clean 2:02.3 with it but it took quite a few runs to figure out how it wanted to be driven. You'll be in 1st through most of the gates. That lap should still be up there if you want to take a look.  I'll probably wait a bit before trying to improve my time.

Good car.  Minimal wheelspin and it will tend to push if you overdrive it in the corner.  You'll use second through almost all of the gate combos. I really only used third through the slalom before the final turn and on the front stretch. The best I've done with it on the event list is a 2:05.3 with one missed gate.  If you're an autocross rookie this is probably a good car to start with.

It's 150 lbs. lighter with more hp and torque than the C32.  It feels pretty nimble but you do need to be careful with the throttle as it's very easy to break the tires loose.  Using TC might cure that.  I haven't had a clean run in testing yet but I think I can break two minutes.
