Track Map understanding

Hi All! 👋🏻

I've read a couple of forums, but I still have doubts about how to understand the circuit map...

When it comes to research, it's clear that when there's a high % of "irregularity in the map," that means that I need handling.

How can I determine whether a circuit requires Acceleration, Braking or Downforce?

From the track map, I can only understand when are irregularities (Handling), as well as whether fuel or tires are needed...

But how I can realise if I need Acceleration, Braking or Downforce ?

I appreciate any info you can provide.

Isn't that obvious? Like what will be better in the Monza: acceleration or downforce? 

I understand what you say, sometimes it’s both or none… but at least have a list to of circuit to what they need.  

But my question is how understand the map, to understand when put Acceleration, Braking or Downforce….   Example I know that Monaco the bar on irregularity is high, I will need handling then means no downforce. Etc

How I know when I need Acceleration, Braking or Downforce Due watching the map graphics?

I think it’s mostly experience to judge which car attribute works best per track. Difficult to just judge it by looking at the track map.

Also, I believe elevation plays it part, which isn’t shown on the track map.

Then how I know which car attribute works best per track? Someone can help?
