Career Mode settings for a more Sim Experience

[PwnusWagner]

I’m new to the series with 25 and I started a career mode on more or less default settings. Now I’ve got the hang of things I’m wanting to restart with a more “sim” like experience in terms of the AI and the race settings (laps, etc). The default 5 lap removes any need for pits or strategy, and the default AI is easy to blow by.

And good recs on the settings? I don’t want to do 2 hour 70 lap races, but something longer that requires some pit strategy and real racing would be better.

I like 50% races with all practice and qualifying sessions. Each race takes around 40 mins, I spend an additional 30-40 mins doing practice and qualifying. AI level and assists is all up to you, do whatever is the most fun.

I have been playing for many years with a wheel setup so I wouldn't recommend these settings to everyone. But I always use cockpit view with the ghosted halo column, limited hud, no assists and the lowest flashback setting. 95 AI difficulty is the sweet spot for me, not so hard that I have to sweat it out like I'm in an iRacing lobby, but not too easy either.
