How it drives
Rear-wheel drive makes the DLX-12 a natural drifter: lift off or tap the handbrake on turn-in and the rear steps out. The flip side is that too much throttle on corner exit spins it.
It sits in the bottom third of the catalogue on every axis, and even its best, handling, is only No. 85 of 89. Race it for the challenge: a clean line and smart tuning matter more here than the spec sheet.

How to tune it
Acceleration is its weakest area (No. 88 of 89), so put the first upgrades into acceleration to sharpen how it gets up to speed out of corners, where most lap time is won or lost.
