    Just qualified for Monza:

    Using the settings from posts above as a template:
    FW: 165
    RW:180
    E: 886
    B: 600
    G: 950
    S: 700

    Q1: 1:33:947 (4th)
    Q2: 1:36:556 (5th)
    Current position on grid at time of posting: 4th

    using GO I used a fuel calculation based on data from the Indy Oval which was also 'Very high' (1.19Km/l) I didnt have much data to go by on tires but for a 2 stop I hope the soft compound will be enough
    stint 1: 83l
    stint 2: 88l
    stint 3: 88l

    Also I have a dilema with my driver. I have decided to extend his contract for next year as im pleased with his results and I think he can help push for promotion next season. trouble is after resent good results he is now lvl78 so I dont want him to go over lvl85 or I will lose him come the rookie reset. If I have a good result at monza I may have to miss the next race or the final race.

    I was worried about my driver, I had just replaced my driver who was issued to me with one that I had sign. His first race was the last one and it wasn't as good as I was expecting so I was a little worried. I made a mistake because I qualified with my old driver, and his settings so I was hoping for better.

    Q1: 1:32:622 (2nd)
    Q2: 1:35:456 (1st)
    Current position on grid at time of posting: 1st (but a lot of other drivers still to qualify)

    I wasn’t sure about the strategy so I’ve gone with Medium tyres, and a 2 stopper. I worked out that the race will require approx 285 Litres of fuel (conservative estimate),

    stint 1: 90l
    stint 2: 100l
    stint 3: 95l

    I know that I’ve over filled but I want to make sure I finish, I still haven’t scored any points, so that is my aim for this race.

    My driver is currently level 89, but if you go over $15 million in debt your driver loses all motivation, which I think will get him down to level 85 before the new season. We’ll see how he does in the next race before I decide to keep him or not.

    Have not qualified as well as you guy, only 14th :(.

    I did the same as Bando and use my data from Indianapolis for fuel which needed 3.4lt of fuel a lap which is about 1.19lt of fuel per km. Monza is also 15km shorter in race distance so it should be enough fuel (259lt).

    As for tyres I used my Austria data as a very rough estimate. In Austria (medium on tyres like Monza) my soft tyres that I used were good for about 124km. This rough estimate should mean that a two stopper is possible at Monza on them which GO also said. The temperature is meant to be quite cool as well so that should help preserve tyres for a little longer as well hopefully.

    I am also in the driver situation, my driver when I hired him was 84 but now he is 87 so hopefully he will have a few crap races near the end of the season and go back down a bit.

    3 points finishes in a row with a 7th in monza. My fuel strategy was spot on as I finished with 0 litres. may have been able to risk an extra soft tyre though as my tires where well intact at each pit stop. My driver is now lvl80 so maybe I can risk the next 2 races

    I was on for a points finish but I ran out of fuel 2 laps from the end. <grr> Finished 14th.

    I need to start qualifying better as well started from 18th so had a lot to do in the race.

    Bit of a disaster for me, I was really hoping for points in this race but my tyres were wrong. I went for medium tyres and a 2 stopper. At my stops my tyres were at 50%, so I could have went for Soft or Extra Soft :( O well it&#8217;s all a learning experience.

    I started 8th, but went down to 17th straight away and never got any where near the points again. I finished 13th I think because a few people had problems.

    I&#8217;m still hoping to score points this season, but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see if it&#8217;s possible for my current team. I&#8217;m still undecided if my driver is worth keeping, does anyone know what good stats for drivers are? My driver is the following:

    Overall: 90
    Concentration: 131
    Talent: 156
    Aggressiveness: 5
    Experience: 165
    Technical Insight: 44
    Stamina: 4
    Charisma: 117
    Motivation: 91

    Weight: 98
    Age: 31
    Salary: $693,308

    I think I can de-motivate him and get him back down to Level 85 if needed.

    My data for France Magny Cours:

    FW: 575
    RW: 625
    E: 700
    B: 400
    G: 440
    S 700
    Tyre: Soft
    Fuel: I've guessed at 1.2/Km

    Also I made a mistake in Qual 2, it's RAINING, and I put on dry tryes :( Go told me when I was working out fuel data, so I've corrected it for the start of the race.

    Has anyone got an idea of how long the soft tyres will last here? I have got a very rough estimation of 24 laps (105km) but I do not trust it that much.

    My Q1 set up was:

    FW: 484
    RW: 493
    E: 531
    B: 400
    G: 480
    S: 519

    I have not done Q2 yet because I am still thinking about strategy.

    105 km with soft tryes is my best guess too. That's what I have based my fuel data on.

    Qualified 7th (at the moment). What is everyone doing in regards to strategy and the weather? At the moment I am starting on rain tyres but I am considering taking a punt and start on dry tyres and hope the rain goes away straight away.

    Hello,

    Welcome to the game :) it's alot to take in at first, but it does get easier. I find that the posted data here really helps, as I would of been lost without it.
