kedy89 · Jul 13, 2016

Put me down as maybe. If I decide to get the DLC I'll be there, if not, well, not.

Dan ONeill · Jul 13, 2016

Surprised there are not any more takers for the SF15T as apart from the iracing mclaren MP4-30 it's the first officially licenced hybrid F1!
Or maybe I'm too excited...

kedy89 · Jul 14, 2016

10€, lol, sign me out. Also what's the point of hidden real names if you put it in the sign-up list?

Enzo Fazzi · Jul 15, 2016

I'll have the SF15-T, please.

Farbod Tehrani · Jul 15, 2016

Basic read but helped me to understand the different settings marginally better;

...and how much you actually need to adjust to gain best performance. Every braking zone and acceleration needs different settings. My head hurts...but in a good way

@Matheus Machado, is it at the same time of the Mx5-cup race?

k_badam · Jul 15, 2016

@Glaurung Practice will start at the same time but the race will end at aroung 8 GMT instead of 7:30 GMT

TeddyThb · Jul 15, 2016

Hi guys, is there a free slot or is only for premium member?

Actually, they're running at exactly the same time. We're working on a solution for the timing conflicts for future events.

And lastly and most interestingly, a reference to distance based deployment which I didn't even know about!!!
This isn't coming to the sim so we have to do it...

Yeah the current profile is fine for the RedBull Ring, but it's not enough for the other tracks. I ran out of juice in a quali run at Silverstone, so I had to set my fastest lap by changing between Balanced-High - Overtake and Topspeed. Kinda annoying, but I like playing with my knobs. The ones on the wheel of course.

Dan ONeill · Jul 15, 2016

I haven't tried silverstone yet but I will as its one of my favourites. It's a long power hungry lap but in surprised that a lap isn't possible, I wonder if that is realistic?
Could make for some good endurance style racing (GP).
What's the difference between the three modes then? I used hot lap for fast runs but how does top speed and overtake work?
Cheers because I haven't had a chance to test yet.

Overtake drains the battery the most, whereas topspeed gives more electrical power in 6th, 7th and 8th, compared to the two balanced modes.
