If I have to check weather underground myself, where do I have to check in Belgium, as I don't know where it is  ? [Edit] Found a place called "Spa" which I'm going for [Edit]  [Edit2] What a crappy weather site  . Doesn't show anything. I'd much prefer www.weather.com , they also give a description in words. Their forecast for today is: Today: "Rain showers this morning with overcast skies during the afternoon hours. High 56F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%." Tonight: "Cloudy skies with periods of light rain late. Low 48F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%." And now comes question 2. Do you use the weather of 2 pm (race time ingame) or 8 pm, the race time in real life of when the race is? |

You can jump straight to the right reporting station using the links at the bottom of the event page. And now comes question 2. Do you use the weather of 2 pm (race time ingame) or 8 pm, the race time in real life of when the race is?
The live conditions when the weather file is generated, a few minutes before the race. But that will just set the initial conditions; after that the weather will change randomly. Even the admins won't know what it's going to do. One day somebody will build a racing sim which takes a live weather feed like Flight Sim does. |

questions: while driving F550 a solid race pace on full fuel load would be...? Also, what wing settings are you guys using?

I've only managed a 2:16.5 in the 'Vette with wing 7. I just can't get my entry into the new Bus Stop right; I use a wide field of view and I just can't 'see' the line whilst braking.
If it looks like rain I will bump the wing up to 8 I think.

The lobby server seems to be down. Hopefully it will be back by the time the race comes round. Not much we can do till Blimey! / Simbin sort out their end. |

I find that sometimes too. Either the softs are overheating or the balance of the car is better with fuel - somewhere like Spa with mostly medium to high speed corners balance is much more important than weight. |

Will the practice server be running 'real time' weather or will that not happen until race time? Colin  |

Not until race time. There's no way to automate getting the generated weather onto the server just before each race unfortunately. |
