There was an issue where occasionally the recommended setup wasn't always faster than the default setup for some tracks. The sims have now been updated so the recommended setup is always faster as intended.

Thank you to those who provided feedback.

It's a great effort to struggle with the set-ups to be slower in race than the other cars. Good to know that is fixed now. Great work :)

..... but dun you think there should be some scope of strategy to outperform the recommended setup as well, as i think recommended setup is mostly such that its risk free.

That's what the weather does. If the weather changes then those who prepared for the correct conditions will be rewarded. Preparing at the wrong time or for the wrong conditions can be a disadvantage.

Would be more tactical if qualifying had to be done in weather conditions approximate to those 24 hrs before the race, whatever time you actually do it. So everyone in the race qualifys in the same window, rather than at different ones.

Just out of a curiosity of a fellow software developer, how the bug happened? :)

I don't think that's possible unless the game has its own in-house weather system.

The simulator has an internal function to calculate the ideal setup based on the current weather conditions (obviously, since it would be totally inefficient for the web to provide this during a race). But this function was slightly out of sync with the code on the web, so all the values didn't always align exactly. Sometimes the sim would throw up an alternative ideal value for a given setting, resulting in occasional contradictions. This is also why it was inconsistent, because it depended on weather and other factors.

It's unlucky that it wasn't noticed sooner by more people, like during open beta, but it wasn't that noticeable until recently where the levels of cars become much broader. The setup page itself was correct, so the recommended values in practice remain the correct ones, in case you're wondering.

Something relevant to improve for the future might be to make the setups a bit broader because as of now most setups are very similar for tracks that are very different. I remember in Hungary the setup was very low downforce, close to what other tracks demanded. I mean the settings are from 1 to 50 and Hungary if I remember correctly was less than 20. Only Monza seemed realistic requiring close to 1 in wind levels. Most other tracks are not realistic in this aspect. I always start testing at 15 15 because it's rare to be much different than that.
