VirtualWDC Season 4, Race 2 (Malaysia)
The second round of the championship takes place at the hot and humid Sepang Circuit. Sepang's flowing, open layout is quite different from the streets and walls of Albert Park. Turns 11 and 14 are the most tricky of all the corners here. It's tough to spot your turn in and braking point for each. 14 is a bit trickier as you need to brake harder and take the apex slower. Getting 14 right is also more important as it leads into the back straight. Any mistake you make on the exit will cost you time until you get to the tight turn 15 hairpin. Wet races are very common here and doing some wets laps in practice is advised.
Some of my setup tips:
A low to medium down force setup should work around here in F1 2013. I'll probably be running my usual 6front/3rear down force config, but I may take some off the front. I pretty much only use high pressure and standard break discs with about 54-55% bias to the rear, except on specific tracks like Brands Hatch. As I've said before, I like to set the car up for a bit of oversteer under breaking and lots of turn in grip.
