Halp!

I'm currently doing a race at Australia in the wet. The track is completely reflective wherever you look, I've got a wet setup on and the monsoon tyres on but I'm still lapping miles off the pace. I'm braking early and everything but really can't control the car at all. Starting to annoy me now! Any tips on how I can improve?

The differential in the setup is the key to drive properly in wet ;-)

HEY! WOA!

I remember putting a list together full of wet weather tips.

Some should still be relevant. Man, those were different times on this forum. WTF! Why wasn't I using proper capitalization?


The Flanker is gone. :(

@ F33LTH3F0RC3:
- Set more braking to the front (= opposite to real F1 in wet) to avoid locking the rear wheels and getting a spin.
- Raise the rear wing to have better traction when accelerating and a more stable tail under braking and turning.
- Use a lower value at 7th gear (2-4 less than in dry, depending on the track). Set a higher value (than in dry) at 1st gear and set accordingly all the gears up to 7th. It helps the wheels not to spin in lower gears and makes better usage of engine power to get a higher top speed when in 7th.
