But that's exactly my point. In F1 and IndyCar, there is a driver, and then 20 people behind the scenes to build and set up the car. Its annoying that in order to be competative in the hotlaps I have to spend hours and hours learning how to set up a car, and then hours more actually doing all the fine tuning to set the car up. Time that I could be using to practice the actual lap.

I don't understand why I have to get an engineering degree in order to play a racing sim.


And as for having no registered hotlaps and 0 km online, I have a yet to be unresolved internet problem, so I can only play offline. Heck, I'm posting this messege with my smartphone.

I cannot believe this is not a problem for anyone else. I've searched for any kind of thread on this topic, but nothing.

Can there not be a way for everyone to have the same setup in hotlaps???

I didn't get this game because it was advertised as a tuning simulator, or a 'who-can-set-up-their-car-better' simulator. I play to drive, but I can never be truly competative without having a good setup. It's not like pro racing where I have my own team to setup the car. I'm just a dude who can drive, but has limited car setup knowledge.

Can their not be a way where during hotlaps, everyone has the exact same setup? That way, when you see somebody at the top of the timesheets, you know they are there because they are a superb driver, not because they know the best way to set up their car.

Anyone else agree?
