Bloody hell I've just done a few laps and the movement from the seat was awesome  . Little dangerous at first and had to lower a few settings as I was nearly thrown out of my seat when I hit the wall   |

Not sure if it’s just me (probably  ), but the graphics/resolution seemed better than normal. You can see the texture of the track and the view of the wheel was very clear, where’s normally it’s a little blurry. |

Due to my rta and nature of the circuit it's upsetting my fractured shoulder. Can't manage it . Just a suggestion if you could put a safty/pace car in the car list I would be happy to act as the safty car if any major incidents. So I would come out via a message from yourselfs slow the race down then people catch me up and would allow damaged cars could get to pits get repaired rejoin behind safty car once all on track I would give verbal warning, pull in to pitts and then race restart once past start line... 100 laps , bound to be some carnage .. could make it more interesting. Up to you guys .

I'm happy if everyone else is Andy, it adds a new dynamic to the whole thing. And you're quite right, there's always incidents in longer races |

You will be pretty busy for the first twenty minutes with re starts . Can you not turn your FF right down so there’s not as much strain? Had my scan today and although she couldn’t tell me the ins and out’s, she said there was a tear in one of the tendons. No idea what that means and I now have to wait till the 12th to find out  |

It's a number of things not just ff, seat moving into the corners and the angle of everything turning left causes right shoulder to go into a position that aches, and for hours arfter I stop . . Aches under normal racing , oval racing kills it . . My idea might not work , worth a try tho . You mite even get a free pitt stop .

I'm not sure you can set someone to drive the safety car?

And me as well, I don’t land until 4pm so with the traffic and jet lag it’s not looking likely.
