Qatar Grand Prix

Qatar Grand Prix

Lusail International Circuit

Summary

Hot and twisty, the Lusail International Circuit will see drivers battle it out under the floodlights in the penultimate race of the season. An abrasive track, long pit time and difficult conditions could all be a dangerous recipe for tiring cars, but for an aggressive Team Principal this is one of your last chances to go on the attack.

Suggested Setup

Suggested car setup and attribute focus for the Lusail International Circuit:

  1. Medium speed cornering is crucial
  2. Focusing on low speed cornering is also recommended
  3. Favours cars with balanced stats

Tips & Tricks

Even as you enter the final stretch, Qatar won’t go easy on your cars or drivers and proves that the season isn’t over yet. 

  1. The appearance of a safety car is almost down to coin toss, but with two stop pit strategies dominant, holding out for a safety car might save some precious seconds.
  2. The final Sprint of the year, aggressive driving in Qatar could reward you with some much-needed extra points, but pushing too hard may prove risky.
  3. The rough surface, twisting corners and heat will all put pressure on your car and increase the chance of mechanical failures. Even though it might be tempting to avoid replacing any struggling parts this late in the season, try not to push your luck.
