Ok some tips for you contact.
Tires go from 27 lowest to 35 highest, and it’s rubber don’t forget, so you will love that
Maybe a hard insert to improve tire temperature and improve runtime.
Short gearing but not too short or you will go backwards with run time.
Smooooooth driving a must with a light finger.
Rehearse pit stops, some people get it right while others have it very wrong.
Know other peoples cars like switch locations and transponder locations.
If people want to pass, let them, you will pass them when they dump or they are on a different strategy with a different motor.
Have a time keeper to know how mush time is needed per driver compared to what was done by each driver.
Run at your own pace no matter what everyone else does as they might go hard and dump leaving you to cruise to the finish.
Last year we had a small problem with one car and wasted half a pack of runtime. (Don’t forget if you leave the drivers stand for what ever reason that is it you pack done and you can’t go back up.)We had to make up time and I was out with a stock in a touring car for 25 mins only to dump with 4 mins to go. Although it was slow laps we got more laps done then if we had gone out guns blazing pace. Ended up only missing out on the final by two laps.
