Any tips for a first timer, other than try to stay out of the way and out of trouble?  |

car is extremely throttle sesitive, you will find gentle throttle input helps, brake early, it tends to push a bit mid corner, a tiny lift helps turnin
have your F3 turned on and watch for blue flags, everyone here is pretty well behaved I am sure you won't have any issues

If you're getting lapped, just drive your race, faster cars will get around. I'm sure you'll like it here, I can hardly wait for the next race already!

I'll be there! Any advice on fuel? I have done a longer stint but didn't manage to figure out whether a full tank would get me to the end. Thanks.

you need to stop for a 4 tire pit stop regardless

Try Fuel Buddy if you wish to do your own strategy.

Congrats to Farooq , Ryan and Glenn Ryan had a killer pit stop to get out ahead of Farooq and only due to a slow down did Farooq get by Ryan great racing up front boys a momentary technical issue with my shifter cost me 3 spots, just happy to be on a plane back to this side of the atlantic,and away from this place next week we are at monza, a new track, we are running the GP course with chichanes, the first corner will be interesting, we'll see who behaves |
