Big Data

I'm rather new to the game, but I am not seeing anywhere I can find data archived for past races I can use to learn from.  

What was my tire wear during practice vs the race yesterday? I don't know because I didn't write it down while I was trying to manage my race.

This is just one example, but I would love to be able to see things normally available in real-world racing, even low-budget amateur series.  Results, times, weather, tire choices, fuel economy...If I don't write it down, it's lost, and that is no way to learn how to play this game.  

Moved from suggestion to help and support section.

There are 2 options. 
Option A- go to main menu > next race > circuit data > my history > now you can select previous seasons and see data. But here you can only view data for this track only.

Option B- go to main menu > team > history > now you can select any track and view data. 

Both above options will only allow you to see data for few seasons back to a point when server providers were changed. Data prior to the server provider was not kept and hence not available.

Just to add, only 2 months of data going back is available. To retain data before it gets wiped, it should be downloaded as a .CSV file, which is possible if you are on a PC and follow either of the two options Mo wrote above.

Please note the .CSV for overall race results will not contain the data for each individual driver, for this you must tap on the driver's Finish column (the amount of time it took for them to finish their race) to get their actual race data.
