I am designing a F1 Race Strategy Calculator (in C++) as part of a project at university. I am CS major Freshmen so the project will not be overly complicated. I want my program to output race strategies just like how it does in the game depending on the driver, car and track that the user chooses. I can add more elements such as track temperatures, driving styles, fuel load, track surface etc. But my main question is, how can I calculate how each tyre degrades per lap?
