Whatever the reason you are on a track for, it is crucial initially to take the first reference points, even more so if it is a track you don’t know. But the rule also applies to known tracks.
Also because the track conditions change constantly and significantly. Each circuit has key points that can make a difference: we will take great care when working on them.

2. Set-up
"In any case, the starting point is always a standard set-up, it’s where the work starts.
At least, that’s how I work. It is useless to use past set-up s that worked when the track conditions were perhaps completely different; in fact, this risks losing your way on the wrong set-up.

Moreover, modern chassis, including CRG ones, already work very well with the standard set-up, so only small changes are generally made. So it’s better to start with the standard set-up and, round after round, achieve an ideal set-up , also considering track condition changes".

3. Carburation
"Carburation is obviously the key to a high performance and reliable engine.
If the ideal set-up is achieved round after round, the right fuel mixture is achieved in
