When I change the perfect setup from daily rewards for extra performance, it always goes back to the perfect strategy, despite me saving it and it being sometimes 3 tenths faster. How can I change this?

The perfect setup is the perfect setup. Ignore what the times say and just look at what the drivers say. Mistakes are enabled in practice.

No the times are slower, sometimes up to three tenths. My driver has 7 feedback so the "perfect setup" is the one she is happy with, but slower

The perfect setup is the right setup. Practice is meaningless in terms of pace so just listen to what your driver says

Ignore the times they don't matter. What matters is what the driver says. Because mistakes are turned on, you will not get an accurate representation of how good the setup is from the times.

I repeat the setup on different laps so there is obviously a performance gain to be had. There must be a way to keep the fastest setup.

Your driver is nowhere near maxed in mental so mistakes are very common and practice data is more unreliable, especially for pace. Your driver knows best.

I repeat, I have repeated the setups on different laps and it is consistently up to three tenths faster. Anyways, this is beside the point, there should be a way to pick the setup of your choice rather than being stuck with the slower setup

P.S. This issue is not "solved", the other people just didn't understand what I was saying.

You have to imagine your setup as the race setup. Not the fastest but the easiest to drive during a long race. They are two different concepts. If you ever played a simracing game you should know it.

Qualifying is always faster than practice. I think the ai is already qualifying using the fastest setup possibile.

I think it is you who is failing to understand what experienced managers are trying to explain to you. There is no benefit using settings different from what your driver asks. The lap times cannot be relied upon because during practice driver errors are enabled. If you want to prove this to yourself, do five practice laps on the same tyres keeping all three settings the same. Are the lap times identical? No they're not, they're likely to be anything up to half a second between fastest and slowest. 

Anyway, if you don't want to receive the Ideal Setup as a Daily Reward, don't collect the one on day seven. Next day it will reset to day 1 and you will avoid the game giving you the best settings for the circuit.

Of course I want a setup that points me in the right direction. The laps that I do on the same setup are around a tenth to a tenth and a half in difference. And over the the race, three tenths lost over 20-30 laps could cost a race win. Also, you don't seem to understand that, as Feedback stat on a driver improves, the fastest laptime is the one with the "perfect" stat. But should we really be stuck with a slower setup until we reach max feedback? No, of course not. So the ability to make the setup we choose saved instead of the slower one should definitely be implemented. Why shouldn't we be able to choose our setup?

Luca, I’m afraid you are the one not understanding here.  Several very experienced and helpful drivers have tried to point you in the right direction, but you just ignore them.  Practice times are of no use other than to check tyre wear. Fuel consumption and get drivers advice for correct set up.


If you use tokens to get the perfect set up and immediately tried a different set up your practice time might be faster for the reasons ppl have already explained, but it does not mean it will be faster in the race!

Consistently 3 tenths per lap, I think that is a healthy amount to warrant me wanting to use it in a race. This is beside the point anyway, why can't we use the setup of our choice?

You won’t see that in race because the perfect set up will be faster.  You can use the set up of your choice by not taking the day 7 daily reward.  You already know the perfect set up from a previous race at the same track (you do record the perfect set ups I assume?). 

Then you can do what you want and don’t be surprised if your race result is inferior to when you use the perfect set up

At this point we may as well stop trying, it's obvious he doesn't want to race competitively or win. All I can say at this stage is Perfect set up

He has a history of being deliberately awkward in posts on the forum. It wouldn't surprise me if he was deliberately misunderstanding replies.

Your original post in this thread ...

Luca

The answer is you can't, all you can do is not purchase perfect setup in the first place and avoid collecting the daily reward on day 7.

This is why the thread is marked as solved.
