With the RaceCraft1-SILO Racing League (RSRL) you will race on tracks of the major televised racing series – Ind圜ar, IMSA, Formula 1, MotoGP – on a Thursday evening prior to the televised event!Ĭontact RaceCraft1 at to save even more on season packages ! This is the fifth round of nine exciting sim racing Thursdays where you will earn points toward the 2020 Summer-Fall League Championship and bragging rights amongst your friends! Race the Mugello Circuit in the McLaren MP4/8 Formula 1 car!Ħ PM – 8:30 PM Eastern, Thursday, September 10th, 2020! Therefore the possibility remains Mugello’s first F1 race won’t run exactly to the usual 2020 form.RaceCraft1 - SILO Summer-Fall Sim Racing League using rFactor 2!! So I believe that the blistering can be manageable.”īuthow much more grip will be found as the rubber level builds up remains unknown, and therefore so does the cars’ ultimate performance levels. We know that blistering at certain levels is not affecting the performance of the tyre.
So probably during the race if we have a bit of blistering, it’s not a big surprise. “In some cases, a little bit of porosity is visible. “That, again, is expected in the afternoon. “We didn’t experience any graining, any blistering, anything else, just a bit of abrasion,” said Isola. Mercedes suffered tyre problems twice at SilverstonePirelli played down the prospects of such problems occuring in the race. They encountered problems with their rubber in both races at the Northamptonshire track, whether it was blistering (70th Anniversary Grand Prix) or late-race failures (British Grand Prix). The comparison to Silverstone will inevitably prompt questions over how Mercedes will perform on their tyres. The soft tyre offers a performance gain of nine tenths of a second per lap, according to Pirelli, which is above their original predictions.īased on the second practice times, and assuming the likes of McLaren and Racing Point have some performance in hand, the front runners may not find it as easy to pass through Q2 on medium tyres as they have at other tracks. Teams will find it harder to make one-stop strategies work if they have to start the race on soft tyres. With 15 medium-to-high speed corners, more than half of which are taken at over 200kph, the front tyres are taking the hardest hit and will give the first sign of trouble. “It’s very difficult to predict because not having data from this afternoon and not having data from the past they need to be flexible during the race, checking the wear after the first stint.” “If the wear is too high and they start losing performance, they’ll have to plan a different strategy,” said Isola.

Teams have limited data on Mugello and weren’t able to build up a full picture on Friday as second practice was disrupted by two red flags. Overtaking is expected to be difficult at MugelloIt’s not a foregone conclusion that this will happen. “So I believe that teams will try to plan a strategy on one stop and try to push on longer stints because otherwise they lose too much time on an additional pit stop.” “Just at the end of the straight we have only one DRS zone. “This circuit is quite narrow and overtaking opportunities are very limited,” said Isola. As overtaking is expected to be more difficult at this circuit than typical layouts, teams therefore have a strong incentive to treat the tyres very gently and coax them home on a one-stop strategy. A two-stop strategy may be theoretically quicker, but only if you can run in clear air. “It is probably not too far from the truth.”īut a familiar phenomenon is expected on this unfamiliar circuit. “In our preliminary simulations, we were expecting the strategy two stops,” said its head of motorsport and Formula 1 Mario Isola. That was Pirelli’s expectation before practice on Friday.
