Practice runs:
To gain an optimal race acclimation and put less wear through the car components is recommended to do long stint of 20-25 laps with hard tyres and lower pace mode and fuel usage. In this way you allow drivers to get used to changes of the car and gain confidence with the car itself and with the track. This is crucial to achieving better results and ensuring the team is competitive on race day. When a powertrain component is at about 60% use always it for the practice changing it for the qualifying and the race. Using always in the practice runs the powertrain components with lower percentage of consumption give you the chance to conclude the season without penalties.
Setup 100% Method
Adjust the setup before the first practice run and between every practice run set all five bars in the centre of the blue areas. Keep in mind that:
- Front wing angle: use it to regulate especially oversteer
- Rear wing angle: use it to regulate especially on straight
- Anti roll distribution: effects on all stats
- Tyre camber: use it to regulate traction
- Toe out: used it to regulate braking stability
With that knowledge you can easily regulate all five-setup doing as last anti roll distribution to adjust the overall situation. If you want to achieve the 100 % setup with both drivers manage the practice run waiting to receive all five feedback on the car setup by the drivers before pitting.
Qualifying
Is very important to save two new soft tyres for the race because they give you great benefit that are crucial using aggressive race strategies that giving you a competitive advantage. You can do this doing long stint during practices and performing a single run during the Q1.
Race
Start the race with aggressive pace, deploy ERS and push fuel strategies in order to maximize the impact of the start. Adjust pace to standard when the consumption of tyres is about at 90% if your strategy with those tyres isn’t aggressive. Change the ERS strategy to neutral when the ERS reach 30 % and adjust fuel to balanced when it is about – 0,9 kg. In this way you have still the chance to put fuel aggressive during the final laps or the pitting laps ensuring at the same time the max power during the initial crucial laps.
Use the Safety Car and the Virtual Safety Car to adjust tactics and in case of red flag always make the change of tyre compound if you can. Keep an eye on weather forecast to be ready to put intermediate or wet tyres
