Best components to build

[Cplcash]

Hey guys what components should you build first to get a competative car early on, i tend to build wings first as they usually get built quite quick, but should you focus on the engine more than anything or balance it between all?

cheers

Depends on the rules for the series. If its standard ERS rules with Spec F/R wings, I first focus on suspension so that the car has good all around cornering speed. I then go for brakes, so my drivers can try overtakes in to long corners where the suspension and the wings do the work. I then focus on the gearbox with the engine last.

I do it this way because I usually start by having race mechanics with the perk for no condition loss on high engine modes. That allows me to run the car at max power, without fear of popping the engine. This means I run short stints in the races, which works well in changeable conditions and tracks with short pit-lanes.

It allows me to maintain some measure of performance from a weak engine, and with a good driver the car can be very competative on some tracks. From there its the usual iteration till I get parts that are properly competative a few seasons in.

Once I have a car thats not stone dead last in the ratings, I tend to end up either getting close to, or making it to promotion where the shenanigans start over again.

thanks for the answer, sometimes i wish you could use last years parts lol

Before the start of each season, take a look at the GMA voting schedule. See if there are any votes coming up having to do with spec parts. IF the vote passes to implement spec parts for say suspension then I would suggest don't spend hardly any time developing that part. It's a catch-22 in the event it doesn't pass. I have done a strategy where if I am one of the weakest cars then I save all my votes to use for the spec part vote.

I like to start with the engine, and then build on the weakest parts from there.

You can start on next year's parts in a season, and they'll carry over, just so as long as they're one of the two best parts in each category.
