OK, most numbers are in and I had a chance to talk to the drivers. It looks like CAEdevice improved some features of the car but it turned out to be a difficult to drive. If his driver can keep it together for a whole lap around that green hell is the question. I think we might see a new car on top.

I think you must have a good hardware to run the simulations so fast. This is an excellent thing.
I confirm what my driver said: I improved the downforce, but the CoP is about the same of race 1, so the car has some balancing issues.

Yes and about 8 hours to actually get something from it.

Trouble is I neither currently have 10mins nor a spare 8 hours lying around

And that's nit even catering for other family members using my pc

8hrs :shock:
I can get a run done within a few hours.
When I had a PC that couldnt do a simulation that quick I used to do the run over night whilst no-one was going to be using it.

Hmmm this is an option. My pc shouldn't really take that long but somehow it does. Maybe its time I did a reset

I found when i over commited the cpu on the vm it really extended the time it took to run a case.

Well you clearly did not read the README. The command to run it is a bit longer. You can either log onto the challenge page and ask what to do in the forum or you wait until about Friday. HP-Racing has a big and very cool surprise.

oh I did read the readme - twice. perhaps I misunderstood it

I thought the .exe file would open a separate command window? seems not

problem solved
