Friday – Practiceīefore you even leave the garage, you need to know exactly what you’re up against. So how do you approach your Project Cars 2 race weekend and devise a winning strategy? Fans of immersive sim racing will be happy, because it turns out the answer is very similar to the techniques used by teams in Formula 1 and other series in real life.

The leaders – who are setup experts and presumably use steering wheels rather than controllers for extra precision – were all but uncatchable, but I was aiming to be the best of the rest and earn a respectable fifth or sixth.

To set the scene, this was the fifth race of the season and I entered the weekend in seventh position in the championship. To illustrate how it all works, I’ll focus on my league’s race at Monza, which was (or at least I’m hoping will be, at the time of writing this section) a prime example of how preparation and a little strategic thought can be reflected in a solid result at the end of the weekend. A few races down the line in my Ind圜ar league, I thought I’d cover what I’ve learnt about how to approach race weekends and find the setup and strategy that will get you the best result possible. I recently wrote about how to find a good setup in Project Cars 2.
