The Skip Barber Formula 2000 is a lightweight school and championship single-seater, pairing modest engine output with a tubular chassis.
Suspension and chassis
Its tubular space-frame construction and published 1250 lb weight define a compact training car rather than a high-power formula machine.
Differential and transmission
A five-speed sequential gearbox transmits the output of the two-litre Dodge engine. The official performance description quotes 0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 135 mph.
Competition background
The car is used across Skip Barber Race Series championships, a route through which drivers including Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon and Marco Andretti developed their careers.

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.
