Ok, another(dumb) question - what does high-frequency physics do?

Eldred, no jibe intended, but you do realise most of the cars have 7 gears
nowadays, right?

It doubles the rate at which physics calculations are made.
The tire-sampling option increases the detail in the tire model, and
is mostly noticeable when driving on kerbs. As I understand, it
treats individual sections of tire independently instead of part of a
single contact patch.
Both of these things combined are essentially the difference between
nudging the edge of a kerb while following the ideal racing line or
driving the exact same line and having your car tossed through the
air. Seems kinda lame, but eh well.
Really I guess forcing those options isn't a big deal since not using
them is a disadvantage in any case that I can think of.

We can run normal wear and fuel for the first race. We'll see what happens
during this race, and go from there.

Really? I stopped trusting the AI to learn with GPL. Totally unrealistic for
humans to drive the same way...
What should the strength be set to? I have the AI set to 75% at the moment.

You can run an entire GP on a set of soft tires and they'll still be
green at the end, which is why I'd personally go with 7x tire wear
once we have a couple races in the books.
Fuel on the other hand, I dunno. I'd use 1x regardless, as you might
want to take a pitstop anyway at some tracks, depending on the speed
difference between a full and half tank of fuel. The fuel load
affects the handling so much in an F1 car that I find even 2x tends to
throw my balance off. 4x or 7x is just nuts, as you're going from
half a tank of gas to 0 in a 3 lap qual session.

I vote for normal wear for 100% races and 2X for half length.
I must remember to fit bigger brake ducts for the race ;)

I picked up the program and have done some laps. Due to no multiplayer in
any previous F1 sim - this is the first modern F1 sim I've tried since GP2.
I am mortified to find that I'm piddling around Hockenheim in the 22s at
best. This is not just off the pace this is off the planet :(
As I'm not keen on getting entirely embarrassed on Sunday, are there any
hints/tips/replays/setups/telemetry/prayers you can suggest that might help
me drag my sorry ass into the real world? Bit of a cheek I know so if you're
too busy not a problem.
I was going to email this begging letter but don't have an email address
available from any of our boards ;)
