Playtime : 16 rolls/lap min.
Corner Stops : 12
Rain : 5% (Dryest of all circuits)


Race start :
It is always good to be ahead and on the front lines but on this circuit it won't have any extra impact on driving the first corner (2 stops, 12-6).

Focus 1:

The first long straight is most likely to be taken safely in two rolls in 5th gear. The option of attempting to cross it in a single 6th will cost gas to make it through the next corner (2 stops, 9-4) and requires to pass a dangerous 5th gear earlier on in the first corner (2 stops , 12-6) that will most likely burn a lot of tires.

Focus 2:

Here it is a good option to pass 5 the gear to exit the 4th corner corner (1 stop, 6-1) in order to be able to cross the straight parallel to the stands in a single 6th gear. A minor overshot can be expected in this attack but it is worth it as you gain one move.

Focus 3:
The best option here is to cross the long straight (25 to 23 spaces) in a single roll when exiting the 8th corner in 6th gear. It will cost a gas and a break to make it down to 3rd gear for the last corner (2 stops , 10-6) but again you gain one move.

Focus 4:
The straight of the stands will be crossed in two rolls if some risks are taken in 4the gear in the last corner. Otherwise 3 rolls will make it safely making the pit stop option worthwhile.

Car Config:
This circuit will most likely use 1 gas and 1 break per turn as well as many tires points. Hard tires are an option here as regular overshooting risks can really pay on this track.
