Who's your favourites: engine, fuel and tyres suppliers?

Murk engine, Elves fuel, Donelots+Komehome tyres (you should be using different tyres for different tracks, checking temperature and tyre wear rate)

Sorry to all those who knew this but kept it secret and didn't want to tell everyone else ;)

I didnt know that... And how do you relate the tyre to each track?

Well Thiago, tyres have different operating ranges. Some will have a faster wear rate than others with a compromise on grip levels. However if you're somebody who likes to use soft tyres in Abu Dhabi for instance, a high temperature operating range tyre (Komehome) with high durability is a good tyre to choose. Donelots would degrade faster and you'll find yourself struggling towards the end of stints. 

However as the seasons go on the track temperatures will change (so sometimes it's not worth changing manufacturers), so sometimes you may decide to change tyre manufacturers for one season but not the next, if that makes sense. 

Also I haven't yet played around with engines or fuel providers, some engines will do better on slower circuits but not great on faster circuits so why not swap that up a little bit? I probably won't, it's my last season here on iGP (for a while anyway) and won't test them out too much. When/if I do come back I'm sure the game would have changed a bit so will have to learn how things go again.

I also noticed you play in an elite league so you might find these tips useful, for others who are in Rookie or Pro leagues then these tips won't necessarily help you, as those leagues are primarily trainee leagues and should be used finding good drivers to progress with and learn the ropes of the game. If you're struggling to be promoted then it's probably to do with your drivers/design levels/lack of training.




Happy racing!

Tyres: Bridgerock, Engine: Murk, Fuel: Seashells. Easy choice although is this a good mix?

Engine: Tifosi/Murk
Fuel: Elves
Tyres: Donelots

That's pretty much the best combination. Almost everyone of the top guys are/were using that combination. I've not played the game in 4 months so I don't have the stats availible to explain why it is the best combination. I remember some people were doing better with Tifosi than Murk and vice versa. I was doing better with Tifosi but some other guy in the league was doing better with Murk.

Trust me, that isn't necessarily correct Nelson. Murk, the majority of the time, are slower over the course of a weekend than Tifosi and even Rednote, and I have basically never seen a soul touch one. Elves is debatable, I disagree as of how fierce the competition is in fuels. It just never seems QUITE the best. And as for Donelots, they and Michigan seem to be the 2 best, just for different tracks you have to use whatever suits the race best.

I've done like 250 races with this combination. I've won alot with it in top leagues. And other people who are/were in the top 50 of IGP are/were using this combination. I'm 100% sure this is the best combination.

Also from what I remember Donelots have 21 points and the rest 20. I might be wrong about the numbers. But I'm sure Donelots have 1 point more than the other tyre suppliers. 1 thing I also remember is that switching suppliers for 1 race isn't good, because your drivers need to get used to the suppliers. That takes longer than a race.
Trust me, I've won 15+ championships(12+ in real leagues where people were attending), I've done 550+ races on al my accounts, I have been in the top 30 and I've beaten alot of people in the top 50.

Ok I shall just annoy you both hehehe there is no best combination. Different strokes for different folks

There's a best combination for a season, but not for a race. Your drivers need to get used to suppliers, like football players to tactics, so it isn't smart to switch every race. You won't get the maximun performance of your drivers this way.

But the impact of switching fuel and tyres is instant from race to race, only things you are keeping the same is the engine :|

Ok lets go football Engine = Tactics, Fuel = Formation changes & Tyres = Subs

I don't think the game works that way, but can you back up your information on drivers needing to get used to suppliers?

There was initially a period of time for teams to get used to new suppliers and a loyalty bonus for staying with suppliers but it was switched off so that people could try out different suppliers and see instantly what impact they have together. That's why Nelson has said it's not smart to keep changing.

Now the majority have done so though, can we switch it back so the game has a LITTLE complexity. 

Oh may! I could do with changing engine and fuel for next race Spa
Murk & ????? = 5.2 litres per lap
Tifosi & ???? = 5.1 litres per lap
Rednote & ?? = 5.1 litres per lap

Mia Palmer (Technical Director) says...

Fuel should be 5.9 litres per lap according to my predictions
I think a 3 stop strategy is our best option.

I have Toymotor & Elves = 5.7 litres per lap :D

I'm on a good day so I've decided to share that with people that still don't know or choose suppliers by hasard or for the name... ;)
Hey guys I finally decide to look by my own own with exel and after elimination I found (that's not my opinion but the stats):

looking only power and economy (looking power first): Tifosi with Seashell (yeah like in the reality; Elves give more power but less economy)

looking only economy and power (looking economy first): Rednote with Beep (Subtotal give more economy but less power)

while phasing out I found Cosuworthit as 3rd compared to global statistics. (with seashells for economy or Subtotal but less power; with Beep for power or Elves but less economy)

Choose of tyres depend on you're strategy so I won't talk about that.

Post Scriptum: 
For the eliminaton process  I average the engines with all fuels; when there were two engines (or more) with the same economy I kept the one who had more power and the same for the opposite.

Murk, Seashells and Donelots for me. I think it´s the best option in time per lap.

Between Murk and TOY Motor I prefer TOY Motor

Murk, Seahells, Bridgerock.

I'm trying a Cosuworthit-Elves+Donelots if don't work I'll go on a Tifosi+Seashell

Cosurworthit, Elves, Goodweek
