Max drivers confidence

[I Know What You Did 😈]

How to get max drivers confidence? Some tips suggested 2 flying laps in row but it didnt work,,

Driver confidence will increase or decrease during qualies and races, usually because of either of one those 3 things
- Setting a personal best in any sector or lap
- Successfully overtake a driver/Failing to overtake a driver
- Successfully defending his position against another driver/Get overtaken by a driver

The race preparation that determines starting confidence will depend on three factors, all to be build up during the free practices sessions of the weekend:
- Track acclimatation account for 25%
- Car knowledge account for another 25%
- The remaining 50% comes from your car setup.

When you get maximum race preparation (ie. perfect track acclimation, car knowledge and setup) you’ll get 68% of the bar, so your driver will need to do actions on track to get his confidence higher, eventually reaching peak level if all goes well.

I always have 100% setup, 100% track acliimatization and 100% car parts knowledge but my drivers confidence is high to very high, far from maximum but it never go up in Qs. How to get max confidence during Qs?

[Ngoc]

there is a cheat where you do the first qualification slow and you artificially busting his confidence making the second qualification better pushing at max but i feel is like cheating you should accept you can't have always the max in everything and try to deal with that part of the game as you would normally in real life. Drivers are not always at peak condition.

You get max 68% of the bar from that. The rest has to be gained during qualic and race by racing good.

Do you mean 1st run at conserve and then 2nd run at max speed in each Q part?

[Ngoc]

first run you do 4 lap instead of 3
1 lap (out of box) all conserve
2 lap all normal or maybe light blue (2 dots) tire and -.2 battery
3 lap all max out
4 lap return to box all conserve

you could even do 5
1 lap (out of box) all conserve
2 lap all conserve (1 dots) tire normal gasoline and -1 battery
3 lap normal (3 dots) tire normal gasoline and -.2 battery
4 lap all max
5 lap return box

each lap better than the previous will boost morale (but traffic in 5 lap can give you trouble)

so when you do the 2nd run (3 lap only) he will have the best morale he can have i guess, Theoretically you could repeat step one to boost even more but I am not sure it's worth it.

but it feels a cheap tactic to me.

so the pilot will see his 3rd lap go much better than his second lap and will be all happy
this will boost his morale

so when you do the 2nd run (3 lap only) he will have the best morale he can have i guess
but it feel a cheap tactic to me.

OK so 2 runs (4 and 3 laps in each Q part? Will I have enough tyres for that?

[Ngoc]

2nd run need to use new red tired and for the 1-2-3-4 of the Q2 re-use the tired of Q1 as you don't care about performance the first time around is all about boosting driver moral you don't care about the time so re-use tires every time you do the first step.

[Frodo]

Hmm, so you guys do several flying laps in one go? Doesn't the extra fuel weigh you down and by the time you have low fuel/low eight the tires are worn?
Granted I dont understand how tyres work in 23. In 22 you only had a lap or 2 at optimal grip. Guess its different in 23.

[Ngoc]

stll work the same only 2-3 lap best tire but you dont care
the first 4-5 lap of the first try is just to boost pilot confidence you won't use any of those times
you bust driver confidence from 68% to purple if possible and THAN you have only 1 tentative lap at the end of the time and you do the usual 3 lap 1 out 1 lap 1 in

that is the only way to make best lap the first 4-5 were ONLY to fake the driver into believing he keep improving.

[Frodo]

But I dont have the luxury to do that, I have to give it all each try to get to next quallic. Maybe when my car gets better

[Ngoc]

I never do it i find it a cheat I play it as it is intended to be played i try to do my best each Q plus i play only alfa romeo so it's not like I am going to win in the first 2-3 season
