The reality is that the car has to be set up for the particular surface you're running on. You could run in one parking lot and then find that another parking lot doesn't have the same amount of traction or that it more bumpy/rough which would require you to tune to that particular lot to get maximum performance.

Try reading up on setting up touring cars.

LOL, yea if he can't figure out how to get the TC4 to handle then there's no way he's getting the zillion adjustments on the TC5 right.
