Race pretends to be short (Race distance: 264.1kms) but: We have to drive 80 laps and the best lap time is about 1.37 so far. Lets assume that we manage to reduce that time to 1,35 (1 minute, 35 seconds = 95 seconds per lap)
now we can do some math: 80 x 95 = 7600sec 7600 seconds = about 126 minuts and 126 minuts is over 2 hours.
Am I wrong? It looks like most of us will do less than 75 laps and (almost?) no one reaches the finish before time expires.

Yes, if this was real F1 that would be the case, but in this game there isn't a time limit for race time.

All races will run to the full amount of laps as normal. Any amount of laps where the elite race time is spent over 2 hours will still use the weather forecast for the 1h30-2h mark.

Maybe will be longer,sometime driver has mistakes and pits times.
If the race time over 2 hours,what is the weather for 0200 to 0230?

This might explain the slow laptimes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4g3_dhWO9s
Yes there is some tufts of grass growing out of the track, but don't worry if you get a good drive off a decent bump you can probably fly right over the grass

But why the hell the lap takes 1m30s when it's only 3km and it's really without very slow corners??? something really strange here :< I was expecting something like 40-50s, max 1min10s but it's just too much I think...

Maybe because a silly admin set the reference time not correct? I'm sure, next time we race there, we will see some faster times.
But sorry for the slow ones at this race, but now it is too late to change anything.

Just out of interest, I presume this wont change fuel or wear next time out when you fix the times?

Should I say that's a bit of Fail?

I wouldn't have thought so either. Looks like Stefan has either logged off or he's still figuring out the answer. (hopefully not the latter!)

oh go on, change it halfway thru qualifying ;) would be hilarious!

We should do wear free race altogether! As a compensation for moral trauma everyone suffered after seeing those lap times,
