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.
Important – just because some parts and drivers are boosted doesn’t mean they are really getting better, often they do that to parts/drivers that are so bad that the boost just makes them okay-ish and lure you a little into upgrading them. For that reason you might not see them in many recommended setups below but we absolutely did account their boosts in!
🇮🇹 Imola Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Pivot
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Motion
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
This track here requires you to really select your attacking spots. Driver 1 can push a bit early on and then through the pit zone area to overtake the cars there but most of the time literally will cruise. Since the track will normally not let you pull away quickly and you don’t want to stack your drivers in pit stops you need different stop strategies so the other driver has to go on the 234 lap setup or you will lose a lot of time in the pit stop.
🇧🇪 Spa Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Pivot
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Motion
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
This race is in rain but even without there wouldn’t be an awful lot you can do since this race is all about retaining your tires and at this level you simply can’t have a driver that can make the tires work 3 laps. There might be the case where your drivers stack in pit stop, so be it. Try to get one driver away with strategically pusing in the close corners to make a gap in the firs two laps but that’s literally all you can do.
🇦🇹 Spielberg Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Gale Force
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
The longest race here and many fall for the strateg to attempt this with hard tires. Don’t Push with softs and mediums and make a reversed 2-stop strategy and you will get the most out of it
🇦🇿 Baku Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Gale Force
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Do not even think about a 1-stop strategy here, even with boosters. You need to push in sections that make sense You always do 223 on your first ranked driver and 322 on your second ranked driver. Push with your soft tire driver hard in the first lap to get into a good position early on.
🇮🇹 Monza Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Gale Force
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Full rain race here which means nothing else than wet tires along with the way they are performing on this track doesn’t leave any other option than this 333 on both drivers. Try to push your faster overtaker early on to not have too much downtime in the pit lane and you will pretty much cruise the race without much surprises since everyone will pit 333. Use boosters for Overtaking so you can actually gain some spots early on
🇨🇳 Shanghai Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Pivot
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Motion
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Easy driver 1 push with 2S2S in the beginning and then finish on mediums and the driver 2 will start with the medium tires early and cruise some and push later with the soft tires. You might see some folks starting both driver on soft but that can really get you stacked since there is no way that you can make the soft tires last for 3 laps.
🇯🇵 Suzuka Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: The Stabiliser
- Gearbox: Beat
- Rear Wing: Gale Force
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Mach I
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
I know players like to attempt a 1-stop strategy here but that’s not the right way here since hard tires will be too slow and even with one pit stop less not cut it. 2-Stop is your way and that let you push at least and will make a far better final score
🇮🇹 Imola Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Pivot
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: Motion
- Front Wing: Glide
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Just like the first race in the event… Driver 1 can push a bit early on and then through the pit zone area to overtake the cars there but most of the time literally will cruise. Since the track will normally not let you pull away quickly and you don’t want to stack your drivers in pit stops you need different stop strategies so the other driver has to go on the 234 lap setup or you will lose a lot of time in the pit stop.
