For those who have the time for long weekends... What's your strategy during the P1/2/3 phases of the weekend? I'm not much of a tuner and looking for tunes is how I got here. But, once I saw what the tunes were and not why I decided that I didn't want to play that way. So I haven't used one tune from RD yet. Up until last night I would simply use just the quick setups and which ever one got me the best consistent time, I used. I thought that's not much of a strategy so I began to dig a little deeper. Like I said, I'm not a tuner so I don't mess with much. But, I was wondering what others do. Here's my strategy so far...
P1:
So, what's your strategy???
P1:
- Look at track bio, find top speed and tune gear box. If the straights aren't huge then I pretty much tune out 7th gear and make sure 6th is 2-5MPH faster than the tracks top speed and stair step 5th - 2nd from there. If I find I'm redlining at a undesirable point I'll do little adjustments.
- Always start with the wet (quick setup) that's closest to the first dry setup.
- Heavy fuel, on primes
- Run 8 laps
- If handles okay and seconds ahead of field, then sit and wait to see who gets within 2 seconds.
- @30 mins, no one within 2 secs, switch to options, run 8 laps
- I expect my time to be about 2 secs faster on opt's, if not save setup and begin tuning areo.
So, what's your strategy???
