CREATE AN UNDERCUT WINDOW
A good first stint protects your tactical options. Stay within 1.8s to trigger an undercut, while managing front-tire graining in dirty air turbulence.
04STRATEGY STUDIO & SIMULATION
The overtake is only the visible surface of strategy. The real battle begins with tire thermal degradation, pit lane delta loss, and undercut execution.

Starting on Medium and swapping to Hard on Lap 26 creates a 1.7s delta advantage over cars holding track position.

Fresh tire grip is only valuable when the driver can push unhindered. Exiting behind midfield traffic immediately destroys the 2.5s fresh-rubber delta.
A pit stop under green flags costs ~21.5 seconds. Pitting under a Virtual Safety Car (VSC) drops net loss to 16.2s, while a full Safety Car saves over 8.7 seconds.
