From the in-game support (Translation may be a little different, but you understand the point)
SuperSoft - better when COLD and dry
Soft - better when FRESH and dry
Medium - better when WARM and dry
Hard - better when HOT and dry

What are the temperature ranges at which eacy tyre compound performs better from your experience?
For example what compound would you use at 20°C and what at 30°C only considering performance/wear ratio, without considering the track condition?
Does the track get hotter at the end of the race?

Thanks in advance! :)

I don't mean to be rude but why would anyone here tell you the answer lol. We are trying to win championships here. My word of advice would be to go to your setup...look at the current track temperature, try each dry compound and see what your best time within that temp

Well that's what sparked the reason a tweaking to the tyres or push levels or both lol

In F1 games, I found harder tyres are better in cold conditions as you have to push harder to get the tyres to work. Softer tyres work better in hot conditions, because you are backing off & extending the life of the tyres.

I don't race in real life, so I don't know much about how tyres work. But I do know in F1 they scoot around on soft compounds in Abu Dhabi at 34-39 degrees and doing 20+ laps, they use a different blend of tyre from us, most likely Medium tyres painted PURPLE & Hard tyres painted RED to make them look like soft compounds.

Unfortunately, here we don't have much in the way of tyre management, in terms of tyre temp for softer compounds to extend the life of the tyres. That is why they are noted as best in the cold. At the lowest temp you have a little bit of play with the tyre temperatures.

I'm just trying to understand the game

That's another tweak, is it better to push on hard or back off with softs? yesterday on a 32°C race I saw hard tyres had even better lap times than medium compound.. that's what bothers me

You have slower lap times than your rival on Med and Hard because when you push too hard.The tires will overheat.Overheating causes tires to have slower lap times and even wear more.Thats why at 32 degree Celsius you should use compounds that don't overheat too much(except Monaco for obvious reason lol) or just back off at the start of the race with S or SS(risky)

Actually I was on "back off" and temperatures were just a little on the red bar, I guess my opponent was on "balanced" with my same temperatures, so that's probably what happened.
Thanks, I didn't know the lap times were actually slower when pushing really hard, I only thought the wear was much higher (like on motorsport manager)

But are the med tires new as well as the hards or is it in the middle of the run with hards and new mediums?

You will find at 32°C even on harder tyres you will be limping around and not pushing the tyres too much, If a buddy had a more control over the tyre temps we could hit the road with softer tyres. It's kind of pushing us to use Softer tyres in winter & Harder tyres in summer

Have any of you seen Monaco at 30°C SS is push level one and not your normal four or five!

This is like an episode of the twilight zone. I feel like I'm playing a different game. I use 1 or 2 engines a season because my engine is always in Push-1. If I increase it the tyres overheat. 21 C yesterday, the soft (which had a wear rate of 6% in practice) would overheat if I didn't leave it at Push 1.

In a sense we are all playing a different game, what works for me might not work for you. You might have no FE and Max TE and fly around on SS, while I have Max FE and no TE and fly around on H

I find push 2 to be the best balance for me, it keeps temperatures exactly where they are, so I can go for push 5 on last lap before pitting, this usually works for me.

Also, aren't engines given every start of a season? I didn't finish my first season yet so i'm kinda new, but I think I've read it somewhere... I'm changing engines every 3-4 races (when they get to 50%).. Do I get 20 engines at the start of the new season?

them 20 engines you get are for this and next season. you have to wait another 20 races to get 20 again, unless you buy some. No need to beg suppliers just run along to the shop and pick up a few.

So 20 engines must last 2 seasons for 2 cars, or every 20 races I get 20 engines?
And what about repair parts, are they given sometimes or just made by QG? I think I need to upgrade this at least to 2 parts per race asap, am I right?

20 every 20 if you have 19 once the count down get to 1 you will be back to 20.

The higher the Design the points you get the higher the repair costs. At level 8 Design the max cost of parts is Italy 6 parts per car.everything else 4 & Monaco 2

The amount of parts you need to repair the cars rely on the circuit.Example:
You will need more parts to repair your cars after Italy GP than the parts needed to repair cars after the Singapore GP(If your reliability stays the same between 2 race).And every 20 engines are given after every 20 races.If you are racing in a 1-car league then Its alright(even spare 1 engine) but if you race in a 2-car league then think wisely to balance the 2 cars or just go on full savage mode and doing a Red Bull to Verstappen giving your driver a car that can only run with 1 engine for the whole season and replacing the other car an engine after every 1 racde(your choice).And Yes,every new season your cars will be reset to a newly-built car.Meaning you don't have to use any parts or engine after the final race of the season

Okay but let me bring a practical example, let's say my car needs 2 parts every race, I have 2 cars so it's 4 parts per race (suppose this constant). It means that after 10 races I will need 40 parts in total. So this also mean that my facilities must make 4 parts per race or eventually I will need to buy them with tokens, right?
My facilities now make 1 part per race, and I lose 4... so that doesn't sound good.

Basically, can I have enough parts from facilities or do I need to buy them with tokens eventually?
Lastly, do I get 50 new parts at the beginning of the new season?

You don't need to buy parts with tokens once you run out of parts after a race you canget free parts by watching the "free parts" section under the amount of parts you want to buy but this feature is only in the app(Each day you can watch 10 ads to get 10 parts).No you don't get 50 new parts at the beginning of a new season.You just don't have to waste parts on your cars,The amount of parts will stay the same from before the Abu Dhabi GP(after repair all the cars)+from the Manufacturing center and follow you to the next season
