Like Formula One this year’s tour uses a time trial (Stage 2) to determine starting positions on a grid for the real racing and just like F1 it will be advantageous to be at the front of the grid. Grid position will be important, but that does not mean that the race can not been won from further back. Our advice is to conserve your rubber in the early part of the race and look to get in behind a fast set of wheels to conserve fuel when possible. On stage 3 we have even introduced a “Pit Stop” in case you need to fill up on some high octane water.
Too bad if you are the Mark Webber of your team 🙂
