Some slots offer per race sponsorship, some provide upfront payments and others provide bonuses for reaching a certain rank. There are several different sponsor types you’ll get for your vehicle. If the driver you are looking at has low potential in any of these areas, you may want to consider someone else. From what I’ve seen, the three most important skills are breaking, cornering and overtaking. Before you choose one, you’ll want to take a look at the driver’s areas of potential. This will make their negotiating price much lower, which is a good thing in your first season when your budget is small. When you go to choose your replacement, I’ve found the best thing to do is find a driver that has a lot of potential (3-4 possible stars) but maybe is a little low on current skills. The second one you’ll probably want to replace. In your first season, you’ll be assigned one solid driver and then a second that is way under par. In every season, you have the option to choose new drivers. In other words I'm still sticking to my 0.005-0.008s/lap per percent optimization prediction which coincidentally matches the low end data.Assessing driver potential and current performance is vital to choosing good assets for your team. So I'm still a little skeptical of these results, especially the high end which benefited the most from Flores in traffic. While the track wetness would've equally hindered both drivers, Flores was the one who got pushed back really far into traffic and never fully recovered while Pernet eventually made her way into clean air at the front. However, the trouble with this test is that the rain threw the usual "fair" conditions out the window. If this is to be believed, that's a bonus of somewhere between a 0.007-0.016s/lap each percent of optimized setup provides. Comparing that with their usual gap, that's around a -0.6s to -1.4s swing (from Flores being +0.3-0.5s to now being -0.3s-0.9). It confused me a little.ĭuring the race, which is when Flores was intentionally given a 10% optimized setup, their avg lap delta was between -0.308s and -0.893s. By the way, your numbering system is off, I think you have two season 11 race 13 videos. Today, Flores' quali delta was +0.705s which isn't atypical. A rough comparison tells us that Flores can range between +0.1-0.9s faster than Pernet, but on avg it's usually +0.3-0.5s quicker in most other races. I'm just gonna copy paste what I posted on the video.Īs for the setup optimization test, the results are hard to correctly analyze since the light rain kinda messed things up a little. Less time going in and out of pit to check setup, more time on the track getting race and quali trim to level 3. So is it worth the trouble to fine tune your setup for those extra couple percents or do you just stick it in the green bar and call it a day? If this test was any indication, the latter choice seems like the better option. Maybe the medium tyres just crossed the line between fresh and normal tyres and were too hot so the 99% lap is slightly slower than it should be.Ĭorrect me if I underestimate something but even if we adjust for those things, it doesn't seem like it would make the results >1s. It's inconclusive data from a single flying lap. Here are some possible explanation I came up with: That's a difference of 0.066s and 0.278s. *Note that soft laps done with ~12 laps of fuel in tank while mediums were done with ~2. It wasn't until recently that I was able to watch a test run to see the difference between excellent and poor setup.ĭuring the practice session, while on a quali trim stint using medium tyres, the drivers did 1 flying lap with terrible setup, came back to pit, then switched to excellent setup for another flying lap. I've been seeing a lot of threads where players are requesting for a feature that allows you to save/load last season's setup so you don't have to do it pen and paper or whatever.
