Help: Qualification and Strategy

Information

This panel contains the track information. This information is also available from the track page, and it also shows the wear values. These indicate how much wear there are on the parts that can fail (such as the engine, tires and the gearbox) due to mechanical failures. Finally it also shows the current weather. Unlike the races, the weather does not change in the testing or qualification sessions.

Timings

The timings panel shows all the times that have been done in this session. Only the fastest lap is shown.

Highlights

The highlights from the qualification session are shown in this panel. It includes messages from when the drivers leave or enter the pits, when they make mistakes on track, collisions, etc.

Driver information

The driver information panel gives you a quick overview of all the cars that were created on the cars page. In the qualification session only the 1st and 2nd drivers' car can be sent out. The moment the car is sent out the car will go to the track the next minute.

Detailed timings

The detailed timings panel allows you to take a look at all the laps that all the drivers have done. The drivers who have done laps are shown in in the panel as buttons, and when you click on the button the detailed timings will be shown. If the driver is your driver you'll see a lot of detailed information, otherwise this is blank.

 

 

Strategy

This is the page where you set your strategy. This must be done ahead of the race or your cars won't know when to pit.

Overview

This shows the track you're racing at, the number of laps, the weather forecast over those laps on the left. This forecast is correct and the weather will never change from this forecast allowing you to plan your race based on it. There is then a summary on the right of what the current plan for each of your drivers is.

Tyres

This page will give you a summary of how your tyres will degrade over the course of the race is you have the supporter feature

Fuel

This will tell you about your remaining fuel over the course of the race if you have the supporter feature

Driver 1 and Driver 2

Both of these will be renamed with your first and second drivers name and is where you set the strategy for the race

 

On the left is a summary of the race for you, including any tyres you've selected, and which driver and engine orders you've said to use.

 

Below that is a button to auto-generate a strategy for you with a set number of pitstops, or a random one.

 

On the right is your planned pitstops and where you add new pitstops. You will need to have already purchased tyres on the "cars" page. You then select a lap number, which tyres you want to swap onto and how much fuel to add and click add stop. After this, the driver will do the pitstop automatically on a sunday. The start parameters are the same, you choose an amount of fuel and driver orders and click update. The car will start the race on the tyres they already have equipped.
