    Yeah, I guess you're right.
    I'm thinking a modern race at Monza - it's probably less than 1h 20m - but it's longer at most other tracks!

    For consistency, we are setting 90 minutes for all 6 events :)

    Edit: this has changed. We are now doing the original number of laps as done in the real events.

    I'll try a couple of cars before I decide on one...

    Stupid question but is there a reason why we always do timed races and not laps (of the same equivalent time)?

    Would be cool to have a formation to standing start to mimic the real F1.

    Track lenghs vary and therefore nr. of laps per event. You can't have the same nr. of laps for all events.

    There is no formation lap and standing start because there are always a few who do not lock in properly into their red square for the start. That holds up proceedings indefinitely and may even cause a restart.

    Ya I get that... but a roundabout lap count can be found from a laptime? Or is it just ease of use?

    I just noticed... this mod doesn't allow refueling :)

    CHANGE: FROM TIME TO LAPS

    Neil Wood made a good suggestion to change the race length from 90 minutes to the original laps per event.
    All 6 events will now be run according to their original laps.
    Round 1: Jacarepagua will have 61 laps.
    You can see the number of laps for each event on the event page.

    Do we think this will end up being shorter or longer than 90 minutes?

    Do a timed lap on each circuit and do the calculations x laps or times the real fastes lap from 1984 :)
