F1 2016 pit stops help

Recommended Posts

Just got the game and have been playing 50 per cent australia and the team always give me the option between 2 or 3 pit stops regardless of how many laps i completed in qualifiying. When the race is finished many of the other drivers only had to have 1 pit stop. Can somebody explain to me how to get this race strategy and any other usual info please.

If you do the tyre wear practice programs you can collect data for each compound that will be used to create personalized strategies based on your average speed and wear on those compounds. Otherwise you only have the default available to you. You can also customize the strategies yourself on the tablet.

I think you are misinterpreting the graph... it let you choose between 1 or 2 pitstops, not 2 and 3.

If your tyres are holding up just ignore the call to come in and do a one stop yourself

assuming your doing quick race and not career. In 50% races its 3 pit stops. Before the race you have the choice between 2 different pits stops plans. Its still mulitable stops but its on different laps. Not sure were your seeing the Ai only stops once but in all the races I have ran they allways have stops 2 or 3 times. According to how the race plays out. Like you are running better,or worser than planned or if the race has yellow flag laps, the crew will give you a option to choice another plan during the race. Usually the difference is just staying out longer on one set of tires than you were planning to when the race started. 50% requires at lest 2 pit stops by the AI. Even if you are the seeing they are only making one stop (something I havnt seen yet) doesn't mean that its the best way to run the race. 3 stops are normal for quick race 50% races from what I have. Generally its best to trust you team.

Im seeing it at the end of the race when you see positions lap tikes and put stops etc. At least 12 cars only stop once.

Even when i edit it does not give me the option to put once but the AI get that option...
You do have the option though like someone said earlier just pit when you want to pit, I use the race strategy as a base guide and then change it on the fly during the race based on how good or bad the wear is

At circuits like China and you get into Q3, you're essentially forced into an extra stop as the SS tyres last so little. If in a high running team, try and go for a harder compound.
