Pre-Season testing available?

[xandi]

Are there any news about pre-season testing is available in the game.
I would assume that feature, but haven‘t heard anything.

I don't think there is pre-season testing but it would be very cool

Nope. Just if you pre-ordered you can play 5 days early on the 25th.

Tell me you dont watch F1 without telling me you don't watch F1.

It would be nice to see, even if it's only something like MM where you see how the new car is performing compared to the rest of the grid, and any possible issues it may be having.

Might be something that can be added in later on if not there on launch. You'd think it would've be discussed in the live streams so far if it was there.

[Arknor]

You'd think it would be in by default, how else can teams improve their cars and work out the bugs before the first race.

Even if it's just simulated

It's such a basic thing that if it's not part of the game from the get go I'll be super surprised.

Even Motorsport Manager had pre-season testing. Though it really was kinda pointless in that game, as many things were tbh. Not slagging the game as I have many hundreds of hours play time, but when you play that much of a game you get to see the 'mile wide and an inch thick' aspects of it. Sponsors for example. Nuff said.
Anyway, I'm drifting. It would be great if they implemented pre-season testing, like a practice session is before race weekends. It's really not that different and wouldn't be that hard to put into the game. Maybe in the following years releases to justify those yearly releases.

Devs confirmed yesterday I think you get an email detailing how preseason testing went. Strengths and weaknesses of car etc. That's it though.

[Lëgënd]

Better than nothing really. In MM you just had to watch a timer run down. They gave you some times and maybe some issues, but not much else. That just sounds like the short version.

They have said on the discord that there will be a sort of round up email thing about all the data about car performance. Stuff like the effect of dirty air, cooling systems and it will give a rough order of car performance across the gird.
