I guess I could take it to Monza, as the circuit doesn't require accelerating from very low speeds.
Exactly, so you don't need that much power for accelerating from almost halt, like in, say, Monaco.Why? You want a fresh engine for Monza since you will be at full throttle for most of the lap!
That's what I've been doing so far and I haven't had any problems with R&D. Btw, you can't change the engine during Qualifying sessions, right? It needs to be done during practice?However, be aware of potentially screwing up R&D objectives. If you go to a new GP and you're given R&D to do then use the current engine to complete the R&D before switching to the practice engine for P2. Complete P2 and P3's R&D sessions before switching to a race engine. That should get you your R&D completed while still allowing you to use the practice engine.
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on thisExactly, so you don't need that much power for accelerating from almost halt, like in, say, Monaco.
Besides, I'm in a Lotus - I won't be making any max speed records anyway
Good to know that works, thanks. Yes you can only change engines in Practice.That's what I've been doing so far and I haven't had any problems with R&D. Btw, you can't change the engine during Qualifying sessions, right? It needs to be done during practice?
I'v overtaken there a few times, I think its one of 2 decent places to overtake. The other one being the swimming pool braking zone.Yeah but when do you normally get to overtake on that hill.
