The first track session during the race weekend is practice. Practice allows you to do up to 25 laps while adjusting the DRP and car setup to find the optimal race settings.

Take your time setting the DRP and car setup values one lap at a time. After each lap you should check the results in the lap box and/or the race weekend page and study the feedback from the driver. Also be sure to watch the lap times to make sure they are getting quicker. Every lap you drive in practice will incur some wear on the parts, including the engine and gearbox.

Weather

The weather section gives an overview of the current conditions for practice. These will not change during the race weekend.

Track

The track details give you an idea about the nature of the track you are racing on. This includes the average time to enter and leave the pits (not including the time for the pitstop) and the difficulty to pass other cars. Sharpness and Dynamic Dynamics - shows how many bends are on a given sector of the track. The bigger the number, the more bends and chicanes there are. Sharpness - shows how sudden the change in direction the corners of the track are for the given sector. Smaller number represents very open, smooth corners where hardly any braking or no braking is necessary. Large numbers represent sudden changes of direction, with very tight corners.

Car parts condition

It is important to keep a close eye on the condition of all your parts. The more wear they have, the greater the chance they will fail during the race. The design parts may be repaired before qualifying, but the engine and gearbox can not be repaired after starting practice. You can still upgrade any supplier parts at anytime up until the race, but the wear will remain.

Driver orders

The driver orders determine the DRP you will have for the race. Getting driver orders right is very important to doing well. Each lap the DRP percentage is displayed in the Session laps. Remember, your reported DRP in practice, warm up, and qualification will vary as much as 3% below the true value to make it more difficult to find a perfect distribution. The DRP for the race will always be the true value.

Car setup

All of the setup values can be changed each lap. The values used must be integers, no decimals values are allowed. Front wing - Rear wing - Suspension - Gears - Tyres - The type of tyre on the car. Revs limiter - The amount of revs (engine revolutions) used expressed as a percentage. You can not lower the revs below 90%. Fuel - The amount, in Litres, of fuel in the tank

Setup history

The setup history is a visual display of the the wings, suspension, and gearing. After each lap the driver may, or may not, offer feed back on each part of the car setup. The higher the driver's reporting skill, the more likely they are to give feedback.

Setup using the green bars

Feedback is in the form of three green setup bars each for front wing, rear wing, suspension, and gears. Each of the three bars represents one non-equal sector of the track just as in real racing. As you complete more laps with different settings the bars will change, providing more information on the ideal setting for each sector. For each setting though you can only have one value so you must decide how to combine the three optimal settings for each sector into a single value.

Understand the green bars:

• Light green - Your driver has not made an opinion on this value.

• Dark green - Setup values your driver has rejected. (e.g. 58-100)

• Yellow (single bar) - Your driver has found a setting they like for that sector. (e.g. 48-49)

• Solid dark green bar - Your driver has found the ideal setting for that sector. (e.g. 58)

Laps graph

This graph displays your DRP and lap time for every lap in a line chart. It is useful for quick analysis of your best (and worst) lap times.

Session laps

After each lap you will receive feedback from your lap in a variety of ways;

• In the ‘SESSION laps’ box you will find the DRP % for the lap, the lap time and the driver’s comments about the lap. A bad time may not mean a bad setup if the driver reports he had an off on the lap.
• The green bars for front wing, rear wing, suspension and gears setup are crucial to setting up the car. Every lap the driver will give feedback and will accept or reject setup values. The dark green sections of the bar represent rejected setup values and as the range shrinks the driver will become happier with the car. The amount of feedback is dependent on your driver’s reporting skill so sometimes you may get a lot or very little reporting.
• The Race Weekend page is extremely helpful as well and it is a good idea is to keep it open in a separate browser window.
