Especially settings like the dampers require extensive telemetry overwatch to get them right. Some things can’t be practiced, which holds true for some of the mechanical grip options in particular. With some tweaks to the wing, for example, you will be able to stand your ground even if the car is behaving a little more recklessly. Aero is essential to keep your grip level on more high-speed corners where most racers lose their patience and, inevitably, their car.

From there, you can adjust specific options to make your life on track easier. Even though that is still quite a bit, it is only the beginning.
