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.
