Over a period of 10 seasons on the pre-release build of the game I recorded a ‘Good starting template’ spreadsheet for every track. Most of these are currently at 85% confidence or above but will be added to over time. These were established from many different cars, seasons and drivers. Because switching settings in Practice sessions take so long the Confidence stat is the one that you will struggle with the most and using these starting templates will save you a session of testing. Invaluable.
I have included all of the info I collected on the spreadsheet. I am not sure if Driver, Team or Season has any baring on these confidence ratings however I have added them to the list to see if any patterns appear down the road.
DISCLAIMER:
All cars, tracks and drivers are different. What works for one perfectly might not work so well for another. This guide is to help you in your early F1 Manager days. I recommend writing your own results down somewhere to remember for next time you visit a circuit.
I was able to take the time to make this guide thanks to my wonderful supporters on Patreon. Thank you! You may find my on Twitter under @TheReckonist and Discord here: https://discord.gg/avNrcNsKPM (Should you wish to chat)
