Tyre wear and fuel usage are off for the free practice just to clear that up

What do you mean off ? Like in not active when driving ? I thought we would be able to have the same environment in free practice as the race? Perhaps I missunderstood? It would be cool if that was at least an option so you dont have to create a lobby just for that.

Just had a surprisingly good Daily Race B using the R8. I can see why it's been a weapon. The TT is good, but don't know about that FF tyre wear. The races being a near repeat, might have a go with Renault or Toyota, due to those Gr.4 cars tyre/fuel consistency. Really can't call this one.

Are they punishing us by having so many Manu races with all 3 compounds required? lol

Quick look suggests that there will be a lot of 1 lap RH stints.

Thank you again for the season summaries @Hasnain282 , you are the man!

Just signed up for Supra Cup, so many questions they ask Anybody remember if it was that way in last year?

 

[Adam Barber]

After testing a couple of the Group 3 MR cars with tyre wear at catalunya was thinking about going for an MR manufacturer such as Ferrari or Lamborghini's being high up on my potential list as they are both waaay more stable than before, any advice?

 

[chuyler1]

So no rain this season... Damn, I usually do well in the rain...or more specifically...I can stay on the track.

I think I'll just sick to Manu races and complain about my poor manufacturer selection. I don't have nearly a good enough DR to score decent points anyway, just hoping for some clean lobbies to get away from the daily race carnage.

 

[MIE1992]

Do you think there'll be any reason to pit for the upcoming kart race at Maggiore Center II? I'd think so, given that it's 25 laps, but on the other hand, Maggiore Center is pretty short...

There's no fuel consumption in this race. Plus there's never been a Sport Mode kart race that's required a pit stop, including last season's kart race, which was exactly the same race as this season's (Originality? What originality? )

Not that I recall. Just entered like a FIA race in Sport Mode.

 

[ivann]

what setting are track limits, normal or championship?

 

[TeddyWestside]

Not that I recall. Just entered like a FIA race in Sport Mode.

I actually thought there was. But maybe I'm confusing it with the Supra survey.

 

[Trone_Colby]

So what are the times for the American region Nations and Manufacturer’s since its now 4 slots for Saturday?

I meant the tire wear, my mistake.

I recall from last season’s kart race, if there was tyre wear, it didn’t even show up as one pixel on the icons. I’m pretty sure there isn’t tyre wear (or fuel burn) implemented for them, and that it’s listed as x10 for the purpose of having a number there. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

 

[Pigems]

Fuel consumption and tire wear are disabled with Karts. 👍

 

[O604]

Kind of prefer cockpit view for the Kart. But the time is right in the middle of the road.

Still haven't pitted with the Kart. Looking forward to seeing that.

Yes, it's ridiculous. One of the customisation options should be to be able to move such things around the screen.

That’s the only survey I remember doing but my memory is 🤬.

I’m Central time 1st Nations race is 3pm last Manu is 9:20.

Kart race shows 10x tire wear but I believe that is irrelevant.

Good luck to everyone this season!

 

[Granadier]

50% of the rounds this stage have all three compounds required and the penalty is now at 60s for not following that.

I think PD is punishing us for abusing Leguna

After going through about half of the upcoming FIA races, most of the 3-compound races only used the hard for 1 lap. And most of the Gr3 races (along with Gr1 at Spa and Gr2 at Catalunya) don't require refueling and/or can get by with short shifting.

 

[Kermit_2142]

I thank PD for adding later time slots to EMEA .

 

[GRBOXER98]

Any strategy options for tomorrow's Manu race yet?

 

[05XR8]

Any strategy options for tomorrow's Manu race yet?

One option, just like every other race: 1. Survive Turn 1

 

[ivann]

we might have toyota cup 3 times a week

 

[milehighmadd]

Any strategy options for tomorrow's Manu race yet?

Softs > mediums> 1 lap hard if front grid.
Maybe start mediums if mid grid.
Start 1 lap on hard if back grid.

All depends how much you get out of the softs and when you decide to pit to avoid out traffic.
