How do tyres work?

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been asked before but can someone explain how tyre sets work. If I use all sets of tyres in practise will I have to use the same ones in qualifying and then in the race? Thanks.

  • You get 13 sets of tyres for each weekend. You select your weekend allocation on the menus before going to the paddock prior to FP1.
  • You give up your two most worn sets of tyres after each free practice session. A total of 6 sets will be handed back before qualifying.
  • If you make it to Q3, you will start the race on whichever set you used to post your fastest lap in Q2. The mandatory set in Q3 will be handed back. If you fail to make Q3 you get to keep that set for the race.
  • During the race, you must use at least two different tyre compounds AND use at least one of the mandatory sets.
  • You get a certain amount of sets of tires that can only use for the race.
