Don’t forget to put it back up or you’ll keep setting it to 0 like my dumb ass kept doing
I've saved my setup with it at 2. I dont mess with it lol

One thing that I've found annoying about career mode is how short the practice sessions are (10 minutes for me). Is there any way to increase that?
I thought it might be that, but I selected medium and all of the practice/ quali sessions were still 10 minutes 👎. I'll just do setup testing in single playerI think that's the default length if you selected "short" for your career. I know I selected short, and practice/qualifying are 10mins. Races are 20mins.

Six hours at a Paul Ricard!
That’s two hours at the ‘short’ length, I bloody hate Paul Ricard and it’s stupid lack of flow and decreasing radius corners.
Oh and it’s pit lane entry is stupid as well.probably the worst track I’ve ever driven.
This is why I’m doing a custom championship and not career mode. Full control over length of sessions and weather although I have it on random and I can adjust the AI without restarting etc and it’s an actual championship with points.I thought it might be that, but I selected medium and all of the practice/ quali sessions were still 10 minutes 👎.

I agreeprobably the worst track I’ve ever driven.
It’s not that difficult (once you get the hang of the two linked decreasing radius corners), just not the most enjoyable.Thanks for demoralizing me lol. Im not looking forward to getting there. Im on short as well
Yeah liking at mine I’m over 9000 but still silver so no ideas what’s going on then. This is why I wish there was an official guide.On the driver profile screen my rating is 8641, and I'm silver... last time I looked I was bronze in career.
I think I need to get my safety rating up. It's only 31, but then I'm usually at the front, so not racing closely with any other cars... I'll maybe set up some quick races and start from the back.
Doesn't look like platinum will be too hard to get to.
I think it was only 15 mins doing a long career.One thing that I've found annoying about career mode is how short the practice sessions are (10 minutes for me). Is there any way to increase that?
I must be the odd one out then ;-) I don't mind it. My only criticisms are that we should use the F1 track (chicane in the middle of the tooooo long main straight) and that because it is so flat and featureless it can be hard to see the corners, especially for a half blind old bloke ;-)I agree
I tried to do some practice laps yesterday, first time ever going around that track. I felt completely lost, I think I lost some consistency rating for simply trying to go around that track .Six hours at a Paul Ricard!

I gave the GP layout a try in F1 2019 last night as well, that's only better on the grounds it puts a chicane in the long back straight, still an awful circuit.I tried to do some practice laps yesterday, first time ever going around that track.

This game is brilliant!
Probably been answered but do you have to do the Lamborghini Young driver test each time you start a career ?
I couldn't sleep so I did my first endurance race in the career this night (it's now 4:50 AM here) on Monza.
The 3 hour race lasted 2 hours (medium setting). I was polesetter in all 3 Qualifyings. But had to go down a lot with the front tire pressure. brake duct in front on 5 and the brakes still get super hot so that my front tyres constantly have between 28.0 and 28.5 psi (24.5 cold!) The left front tyre was constantly running very hot. Around 106°C showed the DDU in the Audi, but I think it shows core temp because in the tyre app the surface was mostly green and only the inner part was yellow to orange.
But I was very comfortable with the tyres since they were still in the operating range. Kunos says 29psi is offically from Pirelli, but "perfect" range is something between 27.5 and 28.5psi.. this is also the range that the real GT3 teams drive their Pirellis.
So in the first two stints I could drive a gap of 17 seconds between 2nd place and me. I didn't attack 100%, I think so around 80%. Didn't want to risk a crash, so I just made my consistent 1:51 times lap after lap.
But then at the second pitstop I hit the pit limiter too late and got a SNG30 .. ok next lap pitting again for the SNG30. Came out of the pits on 8th position. The 1st place was now 40 seconds away and I only had 35 minutes left.
Now I attacked more and constantly drove around 1:49.3 and after 25 minutes I was on 2nd place again. But 1st place was still 24 seconds away, so I finished as 2nd. I had 0.4L of fuel left.... lol... If the winner would've crossed the finish line before the time was up I had to make splash'n'dash. But in the timings I saw him crossing it a few seconds after the time was up.. phew.
Made 63 laps I think and only had 2 off-tracks, one was a minor cut and one was an almost-crash when I lost control in Ascari, but I could catch the car...
So much fun.
And my best lap in race with the Audi R8 LMS (2015) was only 0.02 seconds slower than my personal best with the Audi R8 Evo.
Another good thing is that I hit my pitbox perfectly both pitstops.
Very nice!
Im surprised you had tire temp issues. I run about 28.8 hot all around and no issues with overheating the tires.
The brakes, i run ducts at 1 rear and 2 front. And they essentially stay green all race long at Monza. Maybe you trail brake more than i do? Causing temps to rise more?
Are you running brake pads #2?
I usually lap in the high 1:50s
Just interesting to hear your issues with temps. Ill show you my setup in the morning when i get back from work, its interested in seeing how it differs.
ok 28.8 would be a bit too high. From 27.5 to 28.5 the middle bar of the tyre app is perfectly aligned with the inner and outer bar. with 28.8 the middle bar would be noticeably larger.
Yes I'm trailbraking a lot I would say. most of the time I only release brake at the apex. The brakes turn orange (in the tyre app) in most high speed braking zones. On straights they are green, but I would like to have them blue because they heat up so quickly, it doesn't matter if they are a bit blue. Better than brake-fading when they are too hot. Also the ABS sometimes couldn't handle it (on 2) and locked the front tyres two or three times... hello flatspots
Yes I'm running braked pad #2 in endurance races. #1 only in sprint races. Brake duct front was 5 (with 6 being highest) and rear at 1.
Yesterday I converted the pedals on my rig and made brake and clutch hanging. I have a much better brake control now and maybe I do more trailbraking than before. It's just too easy now doing it lol.

I'm curious on your setup for the Audi
