13 Cars on track during Prac. & Qual.!

Hi everyone

I don't know what I did, but suddenly 13 cars go out on the track at the same time. I don't have a problem with that, but during qualifying all the drivers finnish their 12 laps with about 15 to 20min still to go in the qualifying.

What did I do? and how can I fix it?

Thanx

The default number is 13, but GP4, like its predecessors, uses 8 cars in qual without Gpxpatch.

i'd recommend 3 cars in quali, and 7 to 10 in practise and warmup sessions. works fine here.

greetings, jp

3 cars in qual will give you a result that is close the the qual format that is used in F1 now, that means that you have to adjust the amount of qualify laps that each driver can do to 3, so that each driver will only do 1 hotlap. Otherwise some drivers will put in 1 lap and others 2 or 3, but none or very few will reach 4.

13 cars is best for the old format if you want to be certain that each driver does 4 hotlaps on every track. Many drivers will not do their full share of 4 laps on long tracks like Spa, with a setting of 8 cars.

If you want a compromise, under the old format, where the drivers will do most of their laps, and most sessions will see action throughout the full hour, then 8 is your choice. Both the setting of 8 and 13 cars should have a qualify lap setting of 12.
