Alright cheers :) Yea I messed up the fuel amount especially at the start, plus I was on softs which I don't think helped with the amount of pits.

im not sure of the tyre operating temprature but extra soft/soft dont have a wide window i would go with something like this
0-10c
extra soft/soft
10-15c
soft
15-25c
medium/hard
25+
hard

also be aware that qualifying 2 could be wet while qualifying 1 is dry and vice vera so always check and dont get caught out!

also in the race setup
Wait to pit if it starts raining: (0 - 55)
Wait to pit if it stops raining: (0 - 55)

i have both of those set to 1 as ive been in races where its started raining everyone pitted for rain tyres and then straight away it stopped raining again.


If a problem occurs, should the driver pit if the problem can be solved? Yes
If "Yes" then enter pits only if more than laps are remaining (0 - 55) 10 laps

don't refuel when pitting for a technical problem i have this ticked because it can ruin your race stratergy if its early on and your stuck with a fuel heavy car for the rest of the race.


also on your refueling stratergy lets say your doing

race start 90 litres
stop 1 90 litres
stop 2 90 litres
270 litres total (i dont think any track goes above 300litres)
add stop 3 30litres

because if you have it set to 0
"If you specify 0 then the fuel set for the prior pit"
which would mean your taking on another 90 litres when all you really need is a small ammount to cover how much you were short by!

race stratergy is the hardest part of the game!
2nd hardest is managing your finances and not going over board! if you get promoted you will also need money to help you in the next season! the best players will have around 10mil left at the end of the season!
ive been promoted once and its bloody near on impossible to manage if you get promoted without having any money left over from your rookie season.
3rd hardest is finding out what skills a driver needs to do well!

WHEN CHOOSING A DRIVER DO NOT OFFER THEM SILLY WAGES PER RACE 1MIL + ETC TRY TO FIND A DECENT DRIVER AND ONLY PAY THEM MAYBE 500K THE WAGES IN THE ROOKIE LEAGUES ARE A JOKE! BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEW PLAYERS MAKING SILLY BIDS DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE MONEY TRAP! OR YOU WILL BE CONSTANTLY STRUGGLING TO MANAGE YOUR FINANCES

The driver they gave me to start already earns 1.2 mil a race.. I'm looking to swap him out though, his rating is poor for the money. My first race didn't go badly but made a pitstop 3 laps from the finish, which dropped me 5 places.. doh!

Awesome, thanks very much arknor I appreciate it :) I can see where I have been going a bit wrong now.

Yea, they seem to give you a pretty crap driver to start with, I managed to sign my new driver for only 300k a race, admittedly he isn't that great but the better drivers I was getting massively outbid for. Hopefully I can make him better and keep hold of him.
 
im doing
softs
110 litres
75 litres
75 litres
Code: 
Lap time 	FWing 	RWing 	Engine 	Brakes 	Gear 	Susp 	Tyres 	Risk
1:47.869s 	600 	550 	690 	700 	750 	660 	Pipirelli 	Soft 	Push the car a little

tempted to change to a 1 stop as i reckon softs at these low temps can handle it.
someone should try a 2 stopper with the above fuel loads and extra softs :P

ive never used more than 260 litres of fuel on this track for the 3 times ive raced it ! , you could probably get away with 250 litres even but im leaving a small buffer

God I would never make it on extra softs, did 4 stops last race, thinking that would be good enough for tyres, tyres still ran out at same time as fuel, when I calculated tyres should have had 12-15% left when I needed fuel.

Thanks
I will probably try that two stop on softs. See how it goes.

arknor, what is it that makes a good driver?

one person is 8seconds ahead of me on qualify, his driver is only level 82 compare to my 86 and I have less money than him, so assume must have higher level car.

So what are the most important features?

i assume
talent > concentration > stamina > technical insight > experience > charisma > motivation
which ratio is best i dont know , im not an expert i just did a few seasons, the one time i got promoted was maybe due to the game beeing newish and not many people beeing passed info from the top players...

i put motivation last because its mainly based on the decisions you make for stratergy.

talent = outright pace?
concentration = less mistakes ?
stamina = your drivers laptimes not dropping off over the race
technical insight = how accurate your driver is regarding carsetup (you can make changes not suggested and find laptime! or even go against your drivers advice!)
experience = less rookie mistakes? better off the grid? easier overtaking?
charisma = motivation for your staff? quicker negotiation for sponsors?
motivation = how motivated your driver is? and how much he will push during races?
reputation ??? maybe how much wages he demands? maybe easier time going past rookie drivers or backmarkers?
weight = how fat your driver is but does it slow your car down???
age to young = a lot of mistakes? to old = captain slow regardless of stats? do stats decline with age?

i sacked my driver and took a lowbie one so i can train him up , assuming i dont lose him when the season resets , i cant remember if that happens.

Thanks got a new driver wasn't much choice.
Qualified 8th and came 10th but total guess work as I was away so just random numbers.
 
well given up on this season, however learning all the time. so now going for some data on the medium and hard tiers for 1 pit stop race.
Next season, straight away will bid for an amazing driver and up the wage to make sure i get them.

Bit bankrupt at the moment. after paying 18mill compensation to my old driver.
 
Wow Mediums last a long time, the rain messed up my stagey. As did to much fuel.

45 laps before they were worn, 55laps till pit due to low tyres. Lap 58 pit for Wet weather tyres :(

Still some valuable data. could have pitted once well before the tyres where to worn and far less fuel. Oh well.
Going to do Soft at silverstone, I have no data for that Tyre yet and at some race this season I need to run Hard and see how well they last.
 
Massively underestimated fuel. 3 stops for 20litres each :(. If I had left it the same as first two stops would have just been one stop and would have scored my first points. Still more data for next year.
