Undercut and Overcut Race Strategies

In racing, whether in real life or sim-racing, strategy is key to winning. Two strategies that often come up are undercut and overcut. Let’s break down what these strategies are, especially when you're in an endurance race.

Undercut Strategy

Undercut is when you decide to pit earlier than your rivals. The goal is to take advantage of fresh tyres and a clearer track to set faster lap times, so you can overtake your competitors when they eventually pit.

How It Works:

• Pit Early: You go into the pit before the cars ahead of you.
• Fresh Tyres: With new tyres, you can push harder and record faster lap times.
• Track Position: When your rivals pit, they might rejoin the track behind you, giving you a crucial position advantage.

This strategy is highly effective in many ocassions. With super smooth servers and low latency, you can make the most of this strategy without worrying about lag messing up your timing.

Overcut Strategy

On the flip side, overcut is when you choose to stay out on the track longer while your rivals have already pitted. The idea is to make the most of your current tyres and gain track position while others are in the pits, then pit at just the right time.

How It Works:

• Stay Out Longer: You keep racing while others are in the pit.
• Maintain Speed: Even though your tyres might be a bit worn, if you can stay fast, you might rejoin the track in a better position after your pit stop.
• Track Position: This strategy can give you an advantage or even help you overtake rivals who are still warming up their tyres after their pit stop.
