What is the best way to upgrade your car through a season. I’ve been playing around with this a little and although my newer theoretically seems better, I don’t seem to be.
Before, I would obviously put all design points (Dp) into acceleration first, and research whichever and only 1 of the top 4 I was furthest behind on. When accel was done, I would put dp into either braking or handling- whichever I was least behind on, and research the 1 I was most behind on. And do this till top 4 done and then fuel economy.
But I saw a post about research power, that it is rounded up. Eg 40% research power, if your 100 behind you’d get 40 points, but if you were 101 behind it was be 40.1% so would actually get 41 points. So this season I’ve been splitting the research, so in this example, if I was 101 points behind on 2 things and research them with 20% power each, it would be 20.1 points each, so rounded to 21, so in total would gain 42 points, meaning getting an extra 1?
Also, should it be a race to upgrade top 4 then fuel economy and not touch the others, or are tyre economy and cooling needed to a certain level rather the top 4, as for example increasing accel from 180 to 200 is only a 10% improvement, whereas increasing tyre econ from 40 to 60 is a 50% increase.
Anyone else got any experience or thoughts?
