UKGTR Season 7 Super Endurance - Nürburgring (GP) - May 3

That's why it's called "random". There's no way to regenerate a weather file for each 'event' in practice - the game simply doesn't allow it.

But it isn't random - it is based on real weather with a random element thrown in and was regenerated by Pseudo at least once on the day and during the previous couple of days) as I remember. Running the server with real weather beforehand is to give us a chance to practice online with conditions that may occur in the race. We are not privvy to the algorithm you use to generate the weather file, so the only way to know how likely it is to rain is experience - how often does it rain for particular weather conditions on the server. If the algorithm changes then I see no reason not to tell us so that we can take account of it. Also, although I don't think for a minute you would use the information to your advantage, telling us would remove any suggestion that you had.

Fun race I thought

I made many mistakes including wrong tyres (extra pit stop) and damage after a big off (another pit stop) but the weather variation and the Psuedo Team speak kept the whole race interesting even though i was not near any other cars for most of the race. The team speak chatter was all about the weather and how everyone was coping with their tyre choices which really added an extra dimension to the race for me. I guess that this is how it would be in real life racing, when it starts to rain with the whole team communicating about the weather and how to deal with it.

The conditions seemed very 'real' to me, in previous races the rain seemed to stop very quickly and the track has dried up very fast. I thought that it got a bit too hot at the end and the track may have taken slightly longer to dry than it should but i really enjoyed the race and I do hope to see this level of changeable conditions in future races.

Just a suggestion but perhaps the weather generator could be altered to increase the changeability of rain and temps separately. For example Nuerburg highly changeable rain but not temps could have worked better IMO and say a high changeable temp but not rain setting for Dubai (not sure if Dubai is the best example but I think you get the idea).

Thanks for another amazing race. I am really happy that I got the end

I believe the temp variation has been toned down in the past because it was changing far too much. It's not realistic to have the temperature go from 15 to 40 in a single race. The temp would only ever change I would say max 10 degrees during a real race.

Good point, please ignore my previous suggestion, it is complete nonsense . I took a look at the wether file and it seems perfectly reasonable as a days weather at Nurburging (i am no weather expert though).

Now its job well done in my opinion.
