how to roll race g8x xdrive and switch to rwd
Hey everyone
Just looking for some tips if you guys have any experience with roll racing your G8x Xdrive. What’s the most optimal set up for roll racing? Is it better to put car in RWD? (Because of drivetrain power loss in xdrive) and for shifting do you leave it in auto or use paddle shifters? I’m curious about some your experiences. Anything helps thank you! |

The best results I got were always in 4WD sport (which is rwd unless there's wheelspin detected), starting in manual with the trans in the most aggressive setting, and once I start pulling switch the trans to auto in the most aggressive setting.
I usually start from a slow speed, so your results may vary when it comes to drivetrain selection, however I think even in higher speeds this would not be a problem as the car will behave as rwd even if 4WD is selected. |

Switching to RWD for rolls when you have AWD is dangerous and not worth the risk for the difference in drivetrain loss. Here’s why:
As you slide sideways towards the curb you’ll wish M1 was a Save Me button… I would only use RWD to do burnouts for drags, or to intentionally go drifting. Aside from that I want all 4 tires pulling.
