Car setup
Front wing – 6
Rear wing – 6
Engine – 7
Gearbox – 8

Strategy
Qualify and start on option tyres
Pit on lap 12 – a set of option tyres
Pit on lap 27 – a set of prime tyres

CONFIRM

I know this isn’t asked for but here is my reasoning – maybe it’ll kick off some interesting chat :)
- Circuit data says downforce is high so more wing is desirable but the circuit is fast so too much wing could be detrimental. Going to try and pit early into some free air and try to jump a few people at the first stop then run long….if the tyres last! @brazil2007 strategy looks amazing but I didn’t want to be a copycat

@mr-t Shhhh…. They’ll catch on :P

@portugoose You should probably edit your original post to avoid confusion.

Car Setup.
1.) Front Wing – 7
2.) Rear Wing – 7
3.) Engine – 5
4.) Gearbox – 5
5.) Ride Height – 8

Strategy.

@joey-zyla
My game was inspired based on yours!

Nonetheless, I’ve recorded your setup and strategy.

Out of the 19 managers, 15 have already confirmed their setup and strategy for the Grand Prix. Four people have not done this yet (infernojim, Ice Truck Killer, Nitas & DJDisco).

Car Setup:
1.) Front Wing – 7
2.) Rear Wing – 6
3.) Engine – 6
4.) Gearbox – 7
5.) Ride Height – 6

Strategy.
1.) Qualify and Start on Option Tyres
2.) Pit on Lap 14 – Set of Prime Tyres
3.) Pit on Lap 36 – Set of Prime Tyres

That would be my setup. /Confirm

@kingshark haha with overtaking rated difficult I reckon it’s critical to get to the front so figure might as well take a massive gamble that track evolution, decreasing fuel load and switching to primes will mitigate tyre deg at the end of the race so I can run long and stay ahead of all the three-stoppers… Although knowing my luck this is where you step in and say those things aren’t included in the game model! So I am looking forward to reading that I have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the last few laps :D

@joey-zyla You are being too modest, I really wanted to join your game but was too late to sign up… although I’m still reading your race roundups and sort of playing vicariously through everyone else anyway!

@kingshark Just wondering, how do you determine who’s winning and who’s losing? Did you define the best setups for every race and the one with the right setup wins automatically? Or is there an amount of randomness and good or bad luck as well?
