<mark style="background-color:red;">**Car Setup:**</mark> Adjust your car’s Stats in increments as precise as two decimal places, refining your setup between races to improve performance. The green suggested range on each Stat bar factors in the track layout, selected tire, base Stats, and forecasted conditions—specific to each Stat.

<mark style="background-color:red;">**Tires:**</mark> Different tracks and forecasted conditions favor certain Tires. Each Tire includes a descriptor that explains its ideal use cases, and some are marked with as :information\_source: to highlight the most optimal choices.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Hard** – Good in high temps and no rain, with low grip.

**Medium** – Balanced for moderate temps and light rain, with medium grip.

**Soft** – Good in low temps and light rain, with high grip.

**Intermediate** – Good for cool temps and moderate rain, with moderate grip.

**Wet** – Best in heavy rain, but the car still only has low grip.

<mark style="background-color:red;">**Saved Setups:**</mark> Finding the right Car Setup for each track and forecast is key to consistent performance. The Saved Setups feature lets you recall your Last Used configuration and save new ones, making it easy to fine-tune from race to race in pursuit of improvement.
