Qualifying Round Strategy

🇦🇿 Baku Setup

The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:

• Brakes: Supernova
• Gearbox: Fury
• Rear Wing: Power Lift
• Front Wing: The Sabre
• Suspension: Quantum
• Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use

You really should use a 1-stop here with one driver pushing early on soft tires for 3 laps and then cruising on hards to the end and the other one starting on hard tires. If a driver has Tyre Management 60 or lower, use a booster that gives Tyre Management to make the tires last but a 2-stop strategy will leave you behind here no matter how well it’s executed

🇸🇦 Jeddah Setup

The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:

• Brakes: Supernova
• Gearbox: Fury
• Rear Wing: Power Lift
• Front Wing: The Sabre
• Suspension: Quantum
• Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use

Depending a little on your drivers here. Ideally you want one driver do the 1-stop on mediums but that requires quite some Tyre Management. The other one can push with a 2-stop until there is no tomorrow on soft tires. The good thing about this strategy is that you will for sure land one driver high in the points for your final score, more often than not both do well

🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup

The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:

There is nothing else here that you can do other than making a 1-stop with the wet tires. If your drivers tack in the pit stop lane, so be it.

🇧🇷 Sao Paulo Setup

And for the drivers:

And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use

Compared to lower classes, this is one of the more boring races since you will do the inverted 1-stop with medium and hard tires so there is not much timing and pushing. But, and I can’t stress that enough, it is by far the most reliable strategy to use here
