The 60-second FH6 meta

Off-road and rally tyres are a road racing cheat code at A class and below: near race-compound grip for a fraction of the PI.
The centrifugal supercharger is the biggest power-per-PI item in the game. If your car takes one, fit it.
Run a 10-speed gearbox to keep the engine on the boil and cut dead time between shifts.
Diffs want high acceleration lock and low deceleration lock. High decel lock is the hidden cause of corner-entry understeer.
Weight reduction is the best all-round upgrade: better acceleration, braking and cornering from one part.
