My Brake Balance is set to -2 for this race, this is personal preference and not required.
Strategy: Start the race on Racing Hard Tyres, change the fuel to level 3 and keep it there the entire race. If it doesn’t rain you will not need to make any pit stops for this race. However keep an eye on the weather radar and pit for wet tyres if necessary, if you do for wet tyres DO NOT REFUEL.
NOTE: Fuel is very marginal. You can use level 4 instead but your pace will be a lot slower so if you can manage your fuel at level 3 I recommend it. If you’re struggling with tyre wear you should have enough time to make a pit stop and change tyres without giving up your lead, that all depends on fast you are. With this strategy you’re better off going a little slower to make sure the tyres last the entire race.
