Week 33 Daily C: Grand Valley GR.4

I havent got a chance to run it yet, but this looks like it might be a fun one.  Any tips on tire strategy?  I am barely hanging on to my C rating after last week at RBR 😂

Startegy: starting on mediums, pitting lap 4-6 for softs. Save tyres

Thanks, Ill go with that! Cheers 

When starting near the front I think its worth doing mediums->softs as you'll most likely lose minimal time to traffic. If starting from the back or even midfield, I like to do the opposite and reserve whichever tires can last the whole race distance for my pit stop. This way in the opening laps I evaluate the situation as I approach the pit entry and if I sense the cars ahead will cost me more time than the softs are worth I can pit early to get back onto a clear piece of track. Pretty much means a podium finish is out of the question unless you're smurfing. Or really very lucky. If the stars align and the lap 1 chaos works out in your favor, getting the most out of the softs is still an option. Win-win, except probably not actualy winning.

Solid, well thought strategy. I apprecaite the advice! Ill see what Q time I can put up but I like this option appoach. Cheers

Mai fatta difficilmente la farò. 

Gosto muito do ELANTRA GR4, mas, nesse circuito, os pneus vão embora rapidão, a última volta (10ª volta) com pneus macios, é um terror. Acredito que se fosse, médios e duros, seria muito bom.

I disagree about the tires. If we had to use the hards and mediums then both tires could go the full race distance without even thinking about wear. The drivers starting near the front would all take the start on mediums and pit for hards at the end of lap 8 or 9., depending on traffic The other drivers would take the start on hards and pit at the end of lap 1 or 2 depending on traffic. Basicaly what we saw at Suzuka a few weeks ago. 

Instead we have the mediums that can easily go the full race distance and the softs that promise faster lap times but demand finesse to extend their life. Driving by myself I can make the softs work for 6 laps but I don't dare try that in a race because I know I'm likely to get carried away in the moment and overdrive them. I aim instead for 4 laps on the softs. Huge respect to those who actualy manage to race 5 or 6 laps on the softs doing competitive lap times.
