Ok, so have a question that is bugging me.
I'm at Spain in S1 of career at 25% race distance. I see the tire allotment is S-M-H. I thought I would one up the AI by making it into Q3 by using Medium tire in all of Q2. I ended up getting 7th in Q2 on Mediums, while AI ran on softs. Switch to softs in Q3 like all the AI, and made it to 6th.
So when race time comes, I see that in the race strategy, my mandatory tire is the Hard. Is the mandatory tire always a +1 in compound hardness? AI ran the race on Softs then onto Mediums.
My original strategy was to run mediums longer than AI on softs, then I would finish like a madman on Softs. So should I've still gone to softs and be in compliance with the tire regs by using two different compounds?
Thanks
