Brands Hatch mini team strategy

So guys does any one have any advice or strategy they would like to share that could help us?

Iam working on a race tune with a full tank of gas and was able to run a 1.45.9 on the 4th lap, finished 11 laps and it still had 37L of fuel left......not 100% sure but i think it should last the whole race.  Ill test it tonite and run a full hr race.

Now the only other things iam not quit sure about is......

1. is there a manditory pit stop

2.  Anyone now if 1 set of tires will last a full race?  i was pushing pretty hard and only reaching temps of 165, but not sure how fast they wear?

3.  If we do need to stop at what point do u think is best? before the midway or around midway?

My thinking was earlier....i could set up a car with less fuel and hope we can use the lighter weight to our advantage and build a lead, than pit and fill the tank and hope to pass the majority when they pit?      this is all if we need to pit at all

Currently Playing: 

If you haven't run w/ the guys at R2P yet, don't expect to run from them.  There are some seriously fast guys there (I don't know about that specific series though, but everywhere I've run there has been).  An advantage to pitting early is it gets you out of traffic into clean air.  You just want to make sure that you don't pit so early that you can't make it to the end on tires.

Yup fast guys here too, I was way off the pace, so my stratagy is simple, fill up, and go round and round and hope I'm still there at the endsmiley Have you added that tune to your team garage Kurrupt?

Nope not yet, gonna give it a few runs before I do.....gonna see how long the tires will last and make adjustments....not planning on running away just winning lol.....according to the scouting report if I can knock off .300 I will be matching the fastest guy there.....just gotta figure out how to maintain that for an hr....that the main problem at the moment lol

Oh I am going to wait a couple of weeks before I give it a try...R07 is fragile enough as it is LOL, I was cursing you this morning when I got up only 5 hours after leaving you guys LOL Fun though, makes practice more interesting and gave me some idea of where I may find another second or so and where I am fine.
