Access to the lap set up times has been suspended due to problems with it causing computer glitches (i think). It will be reinstated.
I am not sure what you mean by the second part of your post. Once you have done the set up runs and followed the instructions, the cars should be ready to race. You need to adjust any fuel amount with regard to the track and your drivers strategy, also how many laps to fit wet weather tyre etc when it rains/stops raining. Your strategy comes with experience in racing. If you are not sure what to do click on the page guide (bottom right of page) which will give you some help.
As regards to the second point. What I meant was that I thought you could choose one of the practice laps for quali and for race (which I can't do at the mo). But if that option is part of the suspension of that data then I understand. I am new to this game, but have been playing Gpro for some time and used to accessing practice lap times for the race and quali. Many thanks for your reply and hope this problem is soon resolved.
