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!
🇦🇺 Melbourne Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
This track is working so well on this strategy and always gives big points. One driver on soft tires for 3 laps each (needs Tyre Management of 55-55+ for that) and the other push early on softs and later does cruise 4 laps on the medium tires. One of my favorite tracks in this Gran Prix
🇲🇽 Mexico City Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Slickshift
- Rear Wing: The Spire
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: The Reactor
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. If you stack their pit stops like show above, you will be able to have one driver high in the points at least, most of the time both of them. The driver with the lower Tyre Management should go on the mixed-tyre strategy since 3 laps on soft tires is for most drivers quite chalenging, espcially if you haven’t leveled them up too well so far
🇮🇹 Monza Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- 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 two approaches here. You can send in both drivers on medium tires and hope that there won’t be much stacking. Totally fine if you drivers qualify very differently. I, however, recommend that one driver starts on soft tires and pushes early and then uses the hard tires in the last stint. This prevents stacking and unless there is something really unfortunate happening this is a better startegy to have one driver well in the points for sure. Also, if your driver or booster will have high Tyre Mangement, you can also attempt the 2-stop on the driver with the medium tires on soft tires which will give a good extra boost.
🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale

🇮🇹 Imola Setup

- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: The Reactor
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Not too much room here to do things honestly. It rains and wet tires only last 3 laps so you have to stack pit stops if you have to but with the retain and push option you can push one driver early on and drag them apart a bit to minimize the damage of the first pit stop break when they pit together
🇬🇧 Silverstone Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
