Hey I was wondering what time races start. I am in Australia and my race isn't suited for my timezone, so I was wondering what timezone it would generally be in. Also do I need to be present on race day? or does my stratergy auto simulate
You don't have to be present for your strategy to run but it's a major disadvantage if you aren't.
If you aren't there then you can't control your tyre temperatures which make a very big difference to your lap times. Tyres which overheat or get too cold can lose several seconds per lap.
If you aren't present at race time, your strategy will automatically work. If you get your strategy right ahead of the race you might only lose a few seconds over an 100% race distance compared to being present at the race.
