    "street": "The Nami's best surface. Light weight lets it run stiff and low for elite class cornering. Power lock drops so full-throttle exits stay straight; Coast lock rises to suppress lift-off oversteer — its classic tarmac killer. Camber goes properly negative both ends. 55% brake bias helps rotation; go back to 60% if entries feel risky in traffic.",
    "mixed": "Safety-first, because surface transitions catch the rear out — hitting dirt mid-corner on a tarmac diff is how the Nami spins. Everything mid-range with rear stability prioritized (toe-in, soft rear ARB, front brake bias). Brake pressure is set for the dirt sections: you can brake early on tarmac, but you can't unlock a frozen tire on dirt.",
    "offroad": "Built for rough open terrain — waypoint courses, anything with jumps, ruts, and no prepared surface. Clearance and landing absorption beat cornering sharpness: near-max ride height, softest springs and ARBs, zeroed camber for a flat contact patch on touchdown, and the lowest brake pressure of any template. Land throttle-on with the wheels straight. Rolls and wallows on flat grippy sections — not a dirt-oval tune."
