Rules
During the period that ranges from 24th of May to the 4th of June all teams will be allowed to submit practice files to increase the teams overall BHP. Each team is allowed to do a maximum of 40 laps, but it's not necessary to submit all 40. Just do as much as you want to. The BHP increase will be calculated using the following formula:
1 Lap = 0.25 BHP
So, if you are able to make the 40 laps you get a 10 BHP increase on the engine for the next round of GPs.
The file that you are going to submit is the save game of a pratice session. It works very much like what we do with the race except we'll be using Free Practice mode. Get in, do as much laps as you can, save the game and submit the file. We are allowing multiple files to be submited, so you don't have to worry about doing everything in one go, or reloading your file each time.
One driver or both drivers of the team can do laps. If you have a third driver he can be used as well.
The data that we'll be checking is:
Date of creation (File date must be in the range specified) Driver name Team name BHP Amount Number of laps
It's important to note though that we can only verify full laps, so in and out laps are not counted. However, it doesn't matter if you spin. Crashing is not considered as a full lap either.
Test sessions for this event are to be held at Montreal, Canada or you can test at your team home country. Weather is at your discretion.
Well, I think that's about it. If you have any questions, just shoot. Submission to be made to the normal address.

Just as a note, I had previously decided to use only Montreal for this session, but thinkin on later, in F1 not all teams test on the same track anyway, so I'm leaving it open to the teams home tracks too. If you team don't have, pick one

In the 12's atm, quite comfortable like I said, and I can go faster. At least .6s atm actually Might go to Silverstone, it's not such a hot favourite of mine...

Some info about the canadian circuit for those who want to test there *= Infact, the island hairpin is now called Virage Senna. ;DThe Circuit Gilles Villeneuve gives the impression of being permanent, but this circuit is constructed annually. Located in downtown Montreal, on the Ile Notre-Dame, on the St Lawrence River, it provides a hard challenge to both cars and drivers, with its mix of fast and slow corners and quick barrier lined straights. It is often a race of attrition where it is rare to see even half of the grid complete the distance. Ile Notre-Dame hosted the 1967 World Fair and then in Canada's Olympic year was the location for the rowing basin. Since 1978 it has been the home of the Canadian Grand Prix and recently was re-named to commemorate the country's favourite racing driver, the late Gilles Villeneuve. With two hairpins, and a wide variety of slow and fast corners, traction and good braking balance are required. Straight line speed is often sacrificed for greater downforce. Kimi Raikkonen"The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is one of the fastest tracks we race on, with speeds reaching 320km/h on the back straight. This of course means there are big braking zones, and as a result we will run with larger brake ducts than normal, and have a set-up that gives us good stability under braking. If you were looking to compare it to another track, the Canadian circuit would be most similar to Imola, and, despite the end result, the MP4-20 was suited to its characteristics, so hopefully we will run well this weekend. However, I will be out pretty early for Qualifying on Saturday, which will be a disadvantage as the track is always really dirty." Juan Pablo Montoya"I always enjoy the Canadian Grand Prix, the atmosphere is really lively and the fans are so enthusiastic, so it is great fun. The track itself demands high speed grip, whilst running a low downforce set-up. This in particular means that the car has a feeling of being lighter, you feel like you are on the limit with it the whole time. Because the Armco are very tight and you have the high speeds, this means you have to be very precise, as with Monaco. The set-up of the car also needs to give good traction out of the slow corners. There are also good overtaking opportunities, for example going into the hairpin, so hopefully we can have another exciting race for the fans." ;D

Keep tweaking that setup then

Keep tweaking that setup then would it have anything to do with the fact that I'm using a keyboard, if the responsiveness is different?

Not really...otherwise I wouldn't have won 5 races in a row in this thing It must be setup related. I'm running on quite stiff springs for this one and still find my self using a good amount of packers too. So you gotta balance those two so that your car isn't riding on packers for the mid to fast corners. If you are not sure what that is, I suggest you take a read of that article back in the setup thread.
