* those are the numbers of stops per race. Never do stints longer then 42 laps!!!
* the racetracks marked with red have a lot of tyre wear! For those races tyre wear must be under 30 (even with hard tyres)!!!
Other stuff:
Dry: I like to use hard tyres for every race!
* At Spa and Le Mans you can use softs if you like, but with hard tyres you have more consistent lap times!!
Greasy and Moist: start on softs!
Change the driver at every stop! You won’t lose time, as refueling takes longer then the driver change!
Cars:
Here is the order of cars based on their performance (starting with the best)
LMP1: Bentley, Audi, Pescarolo, Dallara, Zytek, Lister, Panoz
LMP2: Courage, Lola MG, Zytek, Pilbeam, WR
GTS: Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Corvette, Viper
GT: Porsche, Ferrari, BMW 2004, BMW 2003, TVR
* You can win races and driver titles in every car, but the cars marked in green are by far the best in their class!
* For some cars you have more then 1 choice of engines (Pescarolo, Dallara, Zytek, Lister, Courage, Lola MG, Pilbeam, WR). Always chose the Judd engines as they are powerfull and reliable
F1 Guide
F1 2006, 2007 and 2008
Always do 2 stops and use hard tyres. The first stop should be the longest, the 2nd one a bit shorter and the 2rd one should be the shortest. For example, id your race has 60 laps, you stops on lap 24 and 42. Hard tyres last much longer then soft tyres! With a light car and hard tyres you are verry fast.
Overall Speed/Pace: dry – 80-85*, wet – 70-75
Aggression: dry – 65, wet – 60
Use of Tyres: dry – 100**, wet – under 50
Mechanical Sympathy: 50-60***
Pit Stop Speed vs Mistakes: ~70 for both
Race Start: 60
* for F1 02 pace should be not more then 80
** if you are on hard tyres, 50 for softs
*** for F1 02 max. 50
For F1 08 you should use Wisdom as you can do all your quali laps at 100% without problems, losing time, crashing or having traffic problems! That helps a lot!
F1 1986
No stops! No matter what race! Always use hard tyres (or dry enduros if you have Pirelli tyres ) in the race! Tyre wear below 30!!!
Use the qualy tyres only for quali as they last only 1-2 laps
