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!

🇺🇸 Austin 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

Using a 1-stop here for both drivers is risky and can result in both eggs in one basket getting you the doble victory or fail badly since Austin can be random sometimes. Rather have one driver push on softs on the 2-stop strategy and the other one with hard tires on the 1-stop strategy and one of them will get a top position for a good result all the time instead of risking it all. You can risk more on the final day, though

🇧🇷 Sao Paulo 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

There is literally no other startegy here that you can use than the 2-stop with both drivers. Try to push to not have them stack too much but if it happens don’t freak out it’s not that tragic

🇺🇸 Las Vegas 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

Viva Las Vegas… to put it easy the best way is to do a 1-stop with hard tires here but you most likely won’t have those tyre management stats on your 2nd driver so you have to switch over to 3 times soft for that driver. If you do use boosters or have two drivers with good tyre management and you can pull the 1-stop off, def try to do the 3H3H on both drivers here as pitting loses you big time on this track for whatever reason. Worst comes to wors go with a booster that gives Tyre Management and Overtaking to push early and then cruise to the points

🇺🇸 Miami 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

There is little room here for alternative strategies and a 2-stop will make you last position so take the hard tires, pit both drivers after 3 laps and normally this works best than creative strategies that will make you last in the points

🇺🇸 Austin 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

This might be the only chance for you to actually experience Austin in rain, I never saw it in the series races and I am sure it can only happen in the events. Anyway, the 1-stop here is extremely funky and leaves you literally no room to push and has you on the edge of your seat non-stop. I recommend going with the 2 stop here and if you do feel very adventurous or use a booster with a lot of Tyre Management on one driver you can use that driver on a 1-stop

🇨🇦 Montreal 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

The reason for this strategy is that you can’t really do a 1-stop strategy here and you want your first driver with the better position/takeover stats to push on the first set of tires while the second driver that starts behind basically can cruise the first set of tires comfortably for 3 rounds with short pushes to overtake pitting cars. Then you switch it around and let this driver gather as much power as possible to really speed up the last two laps. Many players make the mistake here to do the 1-stop on hard tires but that barely works and hard tires are incredibly slow here

🇲🇽 Mexico City 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 can be so much fun but sometimes also frustrate like hell. You actually don’t want to risk a 2-stop strategy on both your driver since chances are high they will stack up in pit. Push with one on soft tires first and other other on full medium tires goes a long way here into the points

🇺🇸 Austin 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

For the last race use the exact same strategy you used for the first race.
