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.

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
