Solved

Research info from other teams is working in real time.

The info from other teams is being updated in real time. I think this should be updated once during or after the race, but instead, it's monitoring other teams as soon as they update their cars.
I understand my info could be updated when i update my car, but i don't want others to notice what did i do.

i took this one before spain

As you see in accel, SiXxX upgraded his car, and i see this team is now the best in accel when this info should be shown just after spain. isn't it? or well, my spy is really good and working 24/7 hahahaha

Real time is better otherwise you be scratching your head, how is he faster when i have a better part than him.

no, i think scratching your head is the way to go. we must have the info until last race, not the changes after that. this will lead into an stupid battle to upgrade last.
well, i post it under bugs because i think it wasn't ok but i need some confirmation now :P

by the way, i think info from other teams shouldn't be available before Australia, but that is my personal thought because you could say the spy is working before the season starts but, if the spy has been working, why no dps are added to my car by research before Australia?

I want my research team working 24/7 gathering info, should you change from 150mm bolts to 100mm bolts or start using a different type of washer or nut. I want to know about it before the race. They don't tell me your suppliers, they leave it out. The only way to spot them is, if you have 100 or not near the end of the season.

Hmmm, my reliability in just under 50% I'm using poor quality grade 6 bolts surprised the car is not falling apart on bumpy tracks

then, i don't want to know if you change your bolts today. i'll send my spy to watch your car during the race, then i have all week to work on my car in my bunker where you can't get any info.
i see you like pics (@james)

lol, Your bunker looks a bit like the one here, on coast road between Ballygally & Carnfunnock, Easy to locate, look for empty site, using a very high amounts of power.

confirmed. it's showing real time.

What Dan did not told you is that he tried to enter my bunker :

i'm in! the thing is that and can't get out
