[Question] Career Practise skipping (with R&D) ?
By now i know all tracks and im just tired of having to do the practise everything over and over, espacially because it takes nearly as long as the race itself. I know you can skip directly to qualifying, but then you dont get any R&D... Is there any way how not to do practise but still recieve R&D Points?

No unfortunately not RD is directly linked to the Practice sessions.

No, there is not. To get R&D points you need to do the practice sessions. Which to be honest, I don't see as a burden at all.

Practice 1- Track Acclimitazation (whatever it is spelled) and tyre management. 6 laps maximum.

Practice 2- Fuel consumption and qualifying practice. 6 laps maximum

Practice 3- Race pace. 5 laps minimum. 10 laps if you have/want to do informed strategy for exta R&D.

So, at most 22 laps for thre practice sessions. Not much to be honest, but I can see why it would be a pain to some. At some point anyway, your car will already be good enough that any extra R&D isn't necessary, so you can just skip it anyway.

I need 1 lap each for Track Acc, Qualifying Pace, Tyre and Fuel. And ofc 3 for Race Strat. So 7 total. But ive played this game long enough to know the driving lines and breakpoints. So its getting really repetetive. Thats why i dont wanna practise anymore :D But thanks for the info and reply :)

it's boring because your difficulty is too low. Turn up the difficulty and you will find yourself a challenge (i.e. the practice programs become harder to achieve). You believe you know the optimum braking points and lines....but do you really? :D The one reason i like this game is you can alway push yourself a little harder by bumping up the difficulty.

Now if you are playing at 100+ then good on you, I stand corrected and digress :D

got the difficulty pretty high up (somewhere around 90-105) and no assists. But i feel like i get better by racing and not just driving through boxes in a practice session :D But yea, i understand what youre saying.
