General practice tips

Tip 1

Starting point

Start with the official setup and consult the simulator documentation for available controls. Appropriate brake bias depends on the car and conditions.

Tip 2

One variable

Change one setting at a time and compare several laps. Record the change and observed behavior before keeping it.

Tip 3

Comparable conditions

Compare similar fuel loads, tires and track conditions. One lap alone does not establish that a setting is better.
