Any way we can get track wetness before the start of the race so we know what tyres to qualify on? thanks

We can't but this is more important than things like a 3rd driver for me.. Info like that should be tied in to your Technical Director and make them a useful member of the team...
He could give a "Pre-race" run down that gives you some info about what the track is like before the race and then go on to what they think might happen during the race... The higher the level of the team, the closer they become.. but as no one is in charge of mother nature. They will never be 100% spot on..
EG. A level 15 Tech Director could say... "We have an 82% chance of rain and I think it might start to rain about lap 12" but in the race it could start on lap 14 or 15. where as a level 8 director would say "We have a 66% chance of rain and I think it will start around lap 10."
Both are still correct and neither are spot on... but the higher the level the more chance they will be correct.... but that will need iGP to have their own weather system.. Which I still think should be a top 5 things in the pipe line..
I went on and on and on and on about the temps.. now they are locked at 10 degrees.. So the devs do listen.

Rob, that would be a great way to make the Tech Director a lot more useful. Maybe this could also be tied into the weather station, since it currently doesn't really do much in the race, giving everyone a good reason to have it.
I agree that the 3rd driver for testing would be great to have, but I think being able to tell how wet the track is prior to the race is a much bigger concern, since without this knowledge you have to guess at how much rain has fallen and what tyres you should be starting on. If you guess wrong in shorter races, it can easily cost you the race without having run even a single lap.

The weather station is for 2D members only... If you are F2P. Sell it. You don't need it.

Personally I wouldn't mind what gets put in as long as it makes the game more realistic, the top .2 things for me are this and the addition of a 3rd driver along with the possibility of illness!

Top 2 ??? So that is before a new set of tyres. Pit stop bugs, Weather issues and 101 other far far far more important things that will keep iGP going for at least a year??? hummm.

Imo the weather is fine and in my league we don't notice pit stop bugs
Uncle Albert medal 5000 10 years 362 days ago
Don't take this the wrong way.. but you are still a rookie and have never been in a top league.. Ask the likes of Eton / Yuri and others and they will tell you what is more important..
I have seen Yuri's car completly stop in the pit lane to let mine out... I saw that with my own eyes,,, and we are not in a top top league!

ill never be in a top league because i do a league with my freinds with promotion turned off, but what i meant was im not to bothered about pit stops and stuff but if affects other people it should be fixed
