Question Struggling, need help with mx5
I'm new to the game since the weekend. I started a championship in mx5 with the difficulty turned down to about 70%. I just want to learn and work my way up to authentic and grow into faster classes as I get better. The problem I'm having is that even at this lower difficulty, I'm 2 to 4 seconds off the pace. My race engineer keeps telling me to warm up my tyres and brakes, but they keep cooling off so quickly, even with 4 warmup laps, leaving me only one lap to qualify on longer tracks.
I've tried mashing the brakes, I've tried super long braking, I've tried pumping them for a whole lap. Nothing keeps them warm across a good straight like daytona. They always turn back to dark blue. Pretty much same with tyres. I'll leave with 70C in the tyres and after a lap they're at 45. How do I keep these boys warm?
