Unlike regular series races where you donโt know the exact track to come, events will let you know exactly what track youโre on so you have to adapt your car/driver setup BEFORE every race for the best results!
Qualifying Round Strategy
๐ฌ๐ง Silverstone 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 can really push here on soft tires. The 1-stop requires very slow tires that prevent you from attacking so rather take the 2-stop and push early out of the field and you can easily pit an extra time
๐บ๐ธ 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:
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
๐บ๐ธ Austin 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:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Send both your drivers here out on a 1-stop strategy. If they stack pitting, so be it, nothing else to do about it but normally one pulls away early so you can avoid excessive stacking time
๐ง๐ช Spa 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

- Gearbox: The Dynamo
- Rear Wing: Aero Blade
- Front Wing: Curier
- Suspension: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
This track is so rough on the tires and to prevent stacking send one driver on a 2-stop on soft tires (Attention: you need a driver with Tyre Management of at least 62 for that, if not use medium tires instead!!) and the other one slow cruising on a 1-stop on hard tires. This is the best strategy also to make sure at least one driver ends up high in the points
๐บ๐ธ Miami Setup
