High-End Torque Supercharger
Racing Soft Tyres

Notes: Don’t change to 8th gear, keep the car in 7th gear.
Once you’re in the lead make sure you break the slipstream to the car behind by moving across the track, make sure you’re not too aggressive with your steering or else you will lose too much speed. Once you’re more than 1 second ahead you don’t need to move across the track anymore, keep an eye on the gap to the car behind tho.

Make sure you’re using your Overtake button, this is configured to your controller/ wheel to R3 by default.
My Brake Balance is set to -2 for this race, this is personal preference and not required.
Strategy: Start the race on Racing Medium Tyres, change the fuel to level 5 and keep it there the entire race, you will not need to make any pit stops. With this setup you will have 1 extra lap of fuel so if you need extra speed down the straights change the fuel to a lower level temporarily to gain more top speed, use it wisely tho. You will most likely not need to use the extra fuel.
Some of the AI cars are very quick on the straights and they will pass you, however we can brake much later and we are faster through the corners so use that to your advantage. You can use this strategy with Racing Hard tyres instead but you can pretty much use the Racing Medium Tyres until they’re fully red without too many issues.
