I love the new racing formula Wally,fantastic!! Thing is I have to find out how to pit for fuel and tyres with AC...LOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_98TIt's quite easy. You just drive into pits and stop in the big white box you'll see in your pit bay. Then a pop-up window appears where you can click on fuel and tyres if you want to change them, repair if you want it, then click a big tick button. Wait, then go! You can only practice it in online race mode - maybe try it on the practice server in a race session.

Had me scratching my head for a while on that one... now I just scratch other areas. I'm unsure how to run the boost yet, if I leave it on 100% my motor only goes for a few laps... I found that pretty much 70% is the max sustainable boost for your engine.

It flashes red every gear change, but still lasts quite a while, but I don't think I'm going to risk it, other than in qually. What the hell, virtual motors are cheap, let's blow a dozen up.

Lots of people having issues with wheel spin off the line.The boost is a nice extra bit of strategy, it can easily do a qualy lap at 100% boost during the race you can play around with this and try to keep the engine just alive as you finish. If the engine is still brand new it means you didnt use enough of it during the race. With pitstops jump on the practice server and do a couple as the interface is a little clunky amd you can save yourself a couple seconds just by being familiar with it.

It would be nice to have a Boost Up and Down buttons.

I've gone in the 8/10 kind of range so far. I think in the long run, it's going to be more important to keep the car on the track.

Hopefully will have something posted soon I'll jump in practice server if anyone wants to join.
