Smile Tips

I have found some tips that may help.

Some drivers may tell you how exactly to set your cat for optimum performance, while some other may not.
Before a race or a qualifing sesion these setting should all be perfect to get a good result.
Each race ring needs its own settings, so make some tests on that ring to check that your setting are indeed prefect.

Tires pressure is also important and affect the car speed and how fast they wear off.
Run the same race with different tire pressure and check the tires temperature and how fast they wear off. High or low tire temperature means lower speed and higher possibility to retire early.

If some internal parts have rate lower than 18% they may wear off and cause you to retire early. Try to find better ones to remove this possibility.

In my game i play as mclaren, and the drivers always perform badly, specialy in the race. I hate seing both of them always crash and because the same reason: "spun off". Does someone know how can improve it?

But regardless of that, nice game to play

As far as I have understand "spun off" is caused when the tires slip on the road.
Very high or very low tires temperature may cause the car to slip on the road.
If the tires are wear off, you also have the same problem.

Your drivers will tell you if the tire pressure is completely wrong, but they will not tell you the accurate pressure you have to use.
There is an optimum pressure that you have to find by yourself.
Higher than the optimum pressure makes the tires to wear off slower, but may lower the tires temperature while in race.
Lower pressure than the optimum will make the tire to wear off faster, and also may increase tires temperature.
The orders you have given to your drivers are also affecting the tires.

I would propose to save before a race and run the same race a lot of times.
Check often the tires condition and temperature and if you find that somthing is wrong rerun the race changing the tires pressure and the orders you give to the drivers.

Have Fun.

thanks altzxaimer, i will try it out. As long as have already tried, both drivers tell me that th tyre preasure is perfect, however the temperature goes to high and soon or latter both of my cars crash
Maybe some "fine tuning" on the preasure might make them survive, as in the first 4 races i have not even finished a single time.

And by the way, do you know what do means the drivers orders?

Where does the Driver tell you about Tire Pressure?
