hey guys i was just wondering why do we practice all week and then right before qualifing the weather changes?

i know i put alot of time into iowa and i sure most of the other drivers did also

i had worked on getting a good setup where i could run in the upper 22s and then the weather changed and couldnt get better than a 23.3

why does that happen?

Because that simulates real life racing. For me, it's all about making it as real as possible. That's the enjoyment for me.

at least can you post what the weather will be so we can practice under those conditions

Ray, the server automatically generates the weather; (randomly), there is not a way for us to set it fixed. So we dont know what the weather is either until the race session. Does that make sense? This behavior in ARCA and rFactor is different from N2003. In N2003 you could set the weather to a certain temperature, wind, etc. In ARCA you can't it just automatically generates and changes it from session to session.
