One other thing to mention here is that when you stop to change tyres because of the weather your car will be refueled. This means that in most circumstances you will want the 'How many laps until driver stops' for starting or stopping raining to be ZERO. NOT IN GPRO! when it starts raining in GPRO the whole track is immediately wet and you need your rain tyres, and when it stops raining the whole track is dry and you need your dry tyres again. In real F1, when it starts raining there is usually a couple of laps before the track is wet enough for the Rain tyres and the same applies when it stops raining. There is a VERY important second section to the tyre strategy section - the number of laps before you pit for a weather change. As mentioned in the previous section, just because the race may start wet, it doesn’t necessarily mean you want to start on rain tyres. You have two choices - dry tyres or rain ones. For example: if you wished to perform an even 2-stop strategy of 80 litres for each stint, you can simply put 80 for your starting fuel, and then zero for the remaining stints (as shown in the image to the right). You also don't have to give a value for each and every pitstop - as by entering a zero, then the previous fuel amount will be used. For example: if you pitted due to your tyres wearing out, had 15 litres remaining in your tank, and your strategy stated 60 litres - this means that 45 litres will be added to your tank at that stop. The amount of fuel is the amount for your tank to be topped up TO, rather than topped up BY. This means that rather than input laps you want to pit on, you input the amount of fuel that you want put in the tank and that will determine how many laps you can do.
You will pit as soon as either you do not have enough fuel to complete another lap or if your tyres will not complete another lap. Also if qualification was wet and the race is dry or vice versa you will need to amend your setup. This will most probably be the setup you used in qualifying (or one of them if it started or stopped raining).
