Will the ICR2 patch make qualifying sessions on street and road courses more
realistic? Proper sessions with the possibility to accelerate time would be
great. The race weekend would get depth this way. I don't like AI times that
are drawn by lot. Because the AI cars drive their laptimes in the practise
session I suppose it wouldn't be so difficult to make them really drive their
qualifying run, too. Or how is it, Rick?

You can do this without the patch!! For non-ovals, just set the BLAP so it's
real slow. Then the factor which determines the qual times is the RELS, so
all the laps will be done while YOU are qaulling! It does make it a lot
better...

The qualify sessions have not changed.

I found it out today when I was racing ICR2 and using the F196 on
laguna and the traction and power values are higher than the Indycars so
they actually outqualified the computer generated numbers! My first lap I
had the pole then next time around I was fifth!. I was dumbfounded but
soon figured this out
