    @Fastboysmith what track are we running at on Tuesday? Might as well download and practice on it now rather then downloading it on the night.

    Yeah mate Monza. Set the track up at morning time about 25 degrees and mostly cloudy. So the track temps goes to about 28 to 30 degrees.

    Don't go out there trying to race people straight off the bat, just drive safe til your at least out of rookies but otherwise there is videos available to guide you and give you general racing pointers, and i would suggest sitting through them and taking as much in as possible

    I would be looking and listerning very close to chapter 8 as starts in iRacinf are very different to console games

    to get out of rookies you need to increase your safety rating, its a math calculation between incidents over clean corners, so its worth finishing dead last ensuring you don't get any incidents,

    when you finally get out of rookie racing you'll want to start improving your irating, which is a points system based on your finishing position in races, this will grow then plateau when you get to where your irating should be to your skill level, the upside is that you'll be racing people at your skill level, the downside is that depending on the sign ups for the event depends on how likely you are to race with people at your skill level, you'll find more people at your level if there is 100 sign ups as oppose to 15 sign ups,

    some other tips,
    utilize the practice sessions, really spend the time to learn your car and track before racing it,

    practice qualifying, try make sure you get yourself furthest up the grid possible, the racing is usually cleaner at the pointy end of the field, emphasis on 'usually'

    practice pit stops, learn your fuel mileage, and how to calculate and set up for pit stops,

    if you want replica paint schemes, download traidingpaints.com,

    and you can also download ispeed and virtual racing school apps, they are free and maybe some help,

    good luck,

    Hmm ok I must have a setting wrong some where (track set to 25 and afternoon)
    Car set to baseline tune with brakes at 48.7
    running sloppy laps with brake troubles and doing high 45.8s/low46.1s and I should be about 1 to 1.5 off you guys. Will the brake set up be different (I can't open the tune for imola from season 3 to look at)
