Did some practice with custom races to get a handle on how well tires would hold up and how the car felt with fuel load then went into a practice lobby.
I tried a pretty bassackwards approach but wasn’t to the only crazy one 🤷🏻♂️ trying it.
Did 10 laps RM then finished up with RH once the car is lighter which seemed to keep lap times on the hards better than if starting with hards.
I’ll be trying RH first as well because I had two cars pass while in the pit and that gets pretty nervous when you need to make up any lost places in short order.
I did get one of the two cars reeled in and still took p3 but not sure if I liked the strat overall.
Big thing I’m reasonably certain of was the wall penalty setting in lobbies is not as sensitive as in free practice.
This will give a false sense of security to some of the people slightly grazing the wall in lobbies and getting away with it. Maybe I just missed the spots in free practice where you don’t get a penalty but it sure seemed more lenient in the practice lobby so would be good to hear others experiences.
In the race notes page I noticed a setting for wall detection was on high or something like that (to old and can’t remember crap 😂) as well as the setting we get for weak penalties. Can’t duplicate that detection setting in practice lobbies as far as I know.
