Remember, you can change your car/driver setup for each race and you should – this means you will get the ideal setup for each single one to make sure you land the best prices at the end of the final round of the event.

Unlike regular series races where you don’t know the exact track to come, events will let you know exactly what track you’re on so you have to adapt your car/driver setup BEFORE every race for the best results!

🇳🇱 Zandvoort Setup

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

Brakes: The Descent
Gearbox: Beat
Rear Wing: X-Hale
Front Wing: Vortex
Suspension: Gyro
Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

Bortoleto Epic

Verstappen Rare

Norris Rare

Alonso Rare

Sainz Rare

Doohan Rare

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

There is not much room to wiggle here since the 1-stop is the only reliable strategy here with medium tires that allows you to push somewhat well. Make sure your drivers have Tyre Management above 50 or use a booster to get there

🇧🇭 Sakhir Setup

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

Brakes: Rumble
Gearbox: The Dynamo
Rear Wing: Aero Blade
Front Wing: Curier
Suspension: Gyro
Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

Bortoleto Epic

Norris Rare

Gasly Rare

Russell Rare

Lawson Rare

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

Pushing here is the best startegy since you can’t do the 1-stop on medium tires go for 2-stops on soft tires and push in the close corners as much as possible

🇺🇸 Miami 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:

Bortoleto Epic

Verstappen Rare

Norris Rare

Alonso Rare

Sainz Rare

Doohan Rare

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

There is not much you can do here other than a 1-stop with medium tires. Everything else will fall behind or is super risky/depending on the situation. The only case is a Safety Car early you can maybe try to stretch one drivers tires to 4 laps and then use soft tires but that is very rare to happen

🇲🇨 Monaco Setup

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

Brakes: The Descent
Gearbox: Beat
Rear Wing: X-Hale
Front Wing: Vortex
Suspension: Gyro
Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

Bortoleto Epic

Verstappen Rare

Norris Rare

Alonso Rare

Sainz Rare

Doohan Rare

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

🇨🇦 Montreal Setup

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

Brakes: The Descent
Gearbox: Beat
Rear Wing: X-Hale
Front Wing: Vortex
Suspension: Gyro
Engine: Mach III

And for the drivers:

Hamilton Rare

Russell Rare

Piastri Rare

Bearman Epic

Verstappen Rare

Alonso Rare

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

There is only one strategy here that makes sense and that is the 1-stopon wet tires. If your driver stack in the pit lane, so be it but no other strategy will get you solid results here
