Tried searching for this but I couldn't find it (I bet it's there though) So I've RTM's, scratched my head, come up with guess work based on other driving games with respect to set ups etc and set about my first GP practice session, (I'm not asking for set ups!) My best lap time was in the 1:43 park, so I set about the 1st qually session with the same set up, no risks as it's wet, and posted a 1:46. 8th overall so far as I type this, I'm happy with that being my first forray! Which makes me think, is there a default risk setting for practice and the driver goes at this, then the qually risk factors in more? Or does this boil down to driver skills? I'm NOT after it is "X" just a general, yup, nope. I thank you :)

You know that you have a few practice laps. Also in FAQ they give you a hint to start with 500-600 in all the respective areas and to check the driver comments.

Did you compare it to the net laptime in practice, or the time including the driver mistake? Driver mistakes vary, and even with no risk at all in Q1, the driver can still make a sizeable mistake...

Darryll as you say there is no risk option for practice. Qualifying risks are what you would expect, broadly speaking the more quali risk you use the better possibility of a quick time, but also an increasing possibility of your driver making a mistake and ending up with a worse time.
As for the race itself it is dry so your optimal race setup will be different to the wet setup that you found in practice.

I'm now 9th over all

Indeed I do, I ran 6 laps, meant 5, but I caught enter grabbing my laptop, 1 silly 50k error, my first on here, not be my last!

I did, though I can't see a driver error on the qually lap, am I not looking in the right place? that I'll FOBM, still working my way round the pages

As for the race itself it is dry so your optimal race setup will be different to the wet setup that you found in practice. In Q2 I did set the risk up a little as it was as you say dry, and I did alter the settings, but not having any practice data in the dry, this was a guesstimate!(welcome myself to to the real world!), did the usual though, reduced wing a bit, changed the gears a smidge, etc etc. And at least I'll have some data for next season. This was just a thought, and to see if it's common, or wheter it's weather related? I'll see what happens in the next race, and in the mean time I should stick my name on the mentor list!

There's no driver error shown for Q. But if you run it with exactly the same setup as in any practice lap, you can calculate it from Q time and Practice nettime.

I'm going to start doing this (Data mining ftw!) I noticed it again when I ran practice and qually for the next race, I'll be back in about 3-4 years when I've built up some data!

You might want to look for an active team that has already some data collected :-)

This should help to point you in the right direction. But, keep asking questions,some managers will even help to answer your via PMs
