![]() You get the most out of that strategy if you pit your cars before the last lap of the safety car period so you can extend your tyre life even further. What you should do, depends on your race position and the strategy you have made, but if you are at the back of the field its advisable to pit for fresh rubber because you don't lose time or positions, but still get a new set of rubber to use which you can either:Ī) Use them to your advantage now and push for some overtakes.ī) Do an "Overcut" and push when the AI cars are struggling on their tires and after they have pitted to jump ahead of multiple drivers. Sometimes this changes your race totally, either brings you back in the race or if you make a wrong decision, ruins your race. Sooner or later you will find yourself in a situation where some driver has crashed out of the race and brought on the safety car. Intermediate tyres and Wet tyres have a long tyre life so dont be afraid to push with them if you know that the track dries out before you reach the end of the tyre life of your set. If you are using compound that is not suitable for the conditions (dry tyres on wet track or vice versa) You wont only lose time, but increase the chances of a crash or a lock up and also have higher tyre wear. When it rains the tyre wear depends on the compound and the weather. You will need those couple saved laps on that long 33 lap race. It reduces chances of a lock up significantly. Your tyres will start to affect your lap times when they reach below 25% so try to pit before they reach below 20% or they will cost some serious time.Īvoid pushing on tracks that have corners which are known for catching out drivers to lock up their tyres and costing atleast lap of your stint (Beijing's first turn is very notorious) Push when you are not chased or chasing anybody. Then there are tracks like Tondela that heat your tires very quickly if you push on 2 highest modes (Push or Attack) what you do on that case is that you just use Normal mode as long as you can and when you are nearing the end of your stint you push for last 2 laps and you should gain 3-4 seconds per lap before you pit if you have managed your tyres well enough to allow you to push without your tyres falling off the cliff. If you are struggling with heating your tyres (tracks like Munich are bit problematic on that part) you can just put the attack mode on at the start of the race and when you have the temperatures some what high (75% of the max temperature should suffice) just put normal mode on so you can save your tyres and the temperature will start coming slowly down, but you will get decent lap times and save your tires. Remember that it is much easier (and won't cost as much time) to warm up your tires than cooling your tires. If your tyres are too cool you will lose time and your tyres degrade faster. If your tyres are too hot you wont get performance boost from pushing and your tyres will degrade faster. Try to keep your tyre temperatures right in the middle of the scale because that is the optimal place to be if you want good tyre wear and fast lap times. You have to know when to push and when to back off. Key to extending your stints is that you have to find the right mixture of pushing and tyre wear without hurting your tyre temperatures or your lap times too much. If you can, use both compounds because they will act differently. That knowledge will become very helpful in the race. Use the limited session time well so you know how your tires work under different driving styles. What you have to remember is that If you cant do long stints because there is only 9-10 laps of fuel the prime tyres are almost pointless because you can do same with option tyres and option tyres are obviously faster. You will need more soft compound tyres than the harder compounds ones especially if you have stock fuel rules (40% of the race distance). If the rules include choosing the number of sets of dry tyres available for the whole weekend i usually go for 9 sets of the Option (softest) compound and 6 sets of Prime (harder) compound tyres. Track You Race on (Tondela is probably the hardest on tyres and Ardennes is easiest).Driver's Smoothness stat (Difference between 5-20 is about 3 laps per stint on medium length races).Things that affect on your team's tyre wear: It is an area where you can lose time or gain a lot of time and since the bots aren't the most intelligent in this game you can win on a medioker team if you happen to have a good strategy. Tyre Wear is very important part of your races in Motorsport Manager.
