Can't wait! I don't know what everyone else thinks but if it is possible another test would be great. Obviously this would take a lot of time and is probably not possible this season but maybe one test before each season if possible?

N12ck, i know you are busy, but, if you know it, could you tell us what the mesh size will be? it's quite an essential information

Welcome packs sent out, new teams sorted, just need to add pages for new teams now, and it is best you speak with julien as we have been discussing possibly changing the mesh size from the previous test.

Another test is not possible due to CPU time as we have now 31 teams which equates to approx: 930 CPU hours per race, which we cannot cope with another test currently due to CPU restrictions

Is it a requirement that we use the rear crash structure included in the file, or can that be custom if it fits the regs? If so, where does the gearbox end and where does the crash structure begin?
