almost for the complete race? quali soft tires?

It depends on the race distance as well. On most tracks at 25%, a soft-soft works as long as the tyres are in good temperature. In 100% races, I tend to use Hard tyres for every track except Monaco and possibly Hungary.

Hello Patrick from Germany. You should know that a lot of effort has gone into making the game guide (not by me), and that it includes all the answers to your beginner questions. You can find it here: http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=guide

hi Patrick, i see U are in 50% league, im also new in here and running first season (50% league), from first 5 reaces i can see if U want to go for 2 pit stops and take care on tires (temp) U can go 100% soft, if U cant take care on tires then U should go soft-hard-hard, now in monaco i want to test soft-soft and 1 pit - can be fun, in first season or two U should test all options of the game but dont mess around finances :)

hey, thank for the answers.
Now I have a second question.
My pre-setup for the race was.
1. Stint - WET (Full)
2. Stint - WET (Full)
On start my car was driving with Soft tires, why?

Patrick,
If I remember correctly, if you define your setup ahead of time for Wet conditions, but come time to qualify, the weather is dry (anything that isn't rain), the game will switch your tires automatically to whatever "Rain has stopped" compound you set in your advanced strategy. This was changed a while back because you used to get locked out of strategy changes 30 minutes before the race start (rather than 10 as now), and players would run into situations where it would be raining while you could practice, then after being locked out of changes, the rain would stop and by the time qualifying started the track could be dry and your strategy would be completely wrong.
