WHY HYBRID SETUPS ARE ESSENTIAL
Endurance races often feature unpredictable weather, transitioning from dry to wet over several hours. To address this, organisers may increase the weather variability coefficient, leading to conditions that can change mid-race. With Hybrid Setups, you have a configuration that works well in both dry conditions and medium rain, making it ideal for races with mixed weather.
KEY BENEFITS OF HYBRID SETUPS:
- Adaptability: Ideal for races with variable weather, especially when there is a high chance of both dry and wet conditions.
- Performance: These setups are optimised for 70% dry and 30% wet conditions, ensuring stable handling across different weather scenarios.
- Consistency: Hybrid setups offer reliable performance in medium rain when there are many cars on the track, simulating near-dry conditions. For heavy rain or thunderstorms, switching to a MED WET setup is recommended.
WHEN TO USE HYBRID SETUPS
- Mixed Weather Races: Perfect for endurance events where the weather forecast predicts a mix of dry and rainy conditions.
- Medium Rain: Ideal when there are 25-30+ cars on track, creating a visible dry line, allowing the car to handle almost like it’s in light rain.
- Avoid in Extreme Wet: Not suitable for heavy rain or thunderstorms; switch to a dedicated wet setup instead.
