How can I reduce the tire wear on my car-I had to pit for superset tires four times in one race? Is it to do with the downforce set up?

Dont use super soft tyres in the higher temperatures, only use harder compounds :P
Use softer compounds in colder temperatures

The tyres you qualify on are the tyres you use

CT is the risk level your driver takes when the track is clear and dry.

When you come in for your first pitstop, you ask the race director to stop the race, then you go out on track and pick up all the marbles dropped only by your car. Then go back to the pits and use super glue to stick them back on :)

CT is the risk level your driver takes when the track is clear and dry.


CT = Clear track risk.

CT can also be the risk level your driver takes when the track is clear and wet. You will find both options in Race Setup & Strategy. /gb/RaceSetup.asp

Just a quick question: may I use different tyres in the 2 qualification laps?
(e.g. soft in first qualification lap, medium in the second (and therefore in the race))?

You can only select one type of DRY tyre - however, you can choose wet tyres in one and a dry compound in the other.

how is it possible that one driver go to pit stop in 25 lap and my driver go in 15 lap if we all know that tyres can not hold duration of 20 laps, because tyres duration is very high, please help me

Maybe the other guy was on a harder compound.

Maybe the other guy has certain car parts or certain driver attributes that make tyres last longer.

Maybe the other guy didn't ask his driver to push very hard, so he didn't burn up the tyres too quickly.

As Jasper has mentioned above, there are many elements that can impact on how quickly the tyres wear.

For example if you were running the softest tyre compound and using high risks while the other manager was using the hardest compound and using little or no risks then there will potentially be a big difference in how far the tyres will go.

Add to that some driver characteristics and your car part levels and the difference can be even larger.

This is your 7th season so you should be aware of some of this by now. Perhaps you should try to find a team to join that can help with information such as this, it should be a great help.

To clarify, all you know is how many laps you could've done with your tyre compound. You don't know what compound the other person used, so you can't say how many laps he could've done. ;)

So this statement:

we all know that tyres can not hold duration of 20 laps

is incorrect. ;)

Not sure if this is directed at me, but if it is, then I'm talking about the compound, not the manufacturers. ;)
