hey guys, i joined yesterday and joined a league also. i did all the things on checklist and ive done all my test runs. im a noob and dont get the race strategy bit. my technical person said about 4.3 litres a lap and a 2 stop is best but i dont know how to use that info.the tyre wear is at average but i dont know how to implement the info into my strategy. can someone insight me on the race strategy and how to use the info provided.
P.S also what are the pro's and con's of using the different tyres.
Just stick to the strategy that is 'preset' by your technical director.
Do the test runs and make the adjustments as advised. Nothing terrrible will go wrong - that is basically all you need to do to start with.
The game will run itself until you get the hang of it and then you can make some modifications to the strategy as you become more experienced.
It takes everyone a few races before they can begin to understand what is going on. And you can 'experiment' in the early stages without too much damage to your budget.
Just go ahead and have fun - the rules pages and the page guide (bottom right hand corner with the blue circle and question mark) are very useful and should answer a lot of the more obvious problems people have. Looking through the posts on the forum is quite useful too.
And if all else fails you can still ask noob questions - we have all done that!
ok thanks for that, after all that i still have 2 questions which i would be so glad if u answered:
1. what are the pro's and con's of each tyre?
2. if 29 laps and ur told 4.3 per lap and a 2 stop strategy would i just do 29 divided by 3 and from that get the amount of laps then times them by 4.3 and work from there?

1. Use experience. Softs are faster but don't last as long. after the race you'll see info on your tyre wear and fuel use for each lap.
2. Well if you're splitting it evenely, for a 29 lap race, you're going to do two 10 lap stints and one 9 lap stint. So 10 x 4.3 and 9 x 4.3

Question 1. see rules - http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=rules
2.3 Tyres
There are four compounds of tyre available in iGP Manager, they are: Soft, Hard, Wet (Intermediate) and Wet (Full). There are no restrictions on how you use the tyres. Each compound is best suited to a different set of circumstances outlined below.
[list]
[*]Soft - A dry weather compound. Great for qualifying, the soft tyre is designed for raw speed and can be very effective in low ambient temperatures due to its tendency to heat up very quickly. Though on high wear circuits or in high ambient temperatures they may suffer from overheating and high wear.
[*]Hard - A dry weather compound. Not the best qualifying tyre, and doesn't have the ultimate speed of the soft tyre. However, it makes up for this deficit in durability, making it ideal for long stints. In some circumstances it can be competitive with the soft tyre on pace, for example high wear circuits or very high ambient temperatures. Such conditions hurt the soft tyres, but help the hard tyre get to optimal temperatures.
[*]Wet (Intermediate) - A wet weather compound. Designed for low to medium rainfall. It does not work well in high rainfall or dry conditions.
[*]Wet (Full) - A wet weather compound. Designed for medium to high rainfall. It does not work well in low rainfall or dry conditions.
[/list] Tyre suppliers - Each tyre supplier produces tyres with different properties. Understanding which one is the best at any given moment can be useful in getting a competitive edge.
Question 2 =- like I said just follow the numbers that your director has set-up for you - you don't need to alter anything at the moment.
If what you say is the same as 29 X 4.3 divided by 3 then yes. This should come out as the same amount that your director has indicated.
also look at last seasons results and see what people had been doing also add +1 litere to every stint and +.2/.3 per lap and places like monaco and spain r really
+.3 per lap than others its always better to have more fuel than to pit on the last lap.
how hard you push will effect the amount of fuel you use, so take this into consideration, and also that the technical director may not be accurate, so as above first season best idea would be to add x amount of fuel per lap/stint, to avoid extra pit stops, and then adjust fuel accordingly for next season
