Hi! Does anyone know of any way to get more warm-up laps at the start of a race. You just get less than one time around and than the green flag drops. If I am not mistaken, in real IndyCar racing, they get 3 or more laps before the start. It would be very helpful, or any suggestions on how to warm up your tires real fast in that lap. Thanks!

You cannot adjust the amount of pace laps before the start. You really cannot get to racing temps on the pace lap either. Just wait it out for a few laps. At 100% opposition, you will usually do very well against the computer cars anyway. A good example is Arizona. The computer cars just cannot keep up at 100%. All you need is the FAST setup. But, passing *ALL OF THOSE CARS* is not easy. So you have an advantage to a point. I suggest patience. I'll doubt that you can blast thru the field anyway. I believe in Michigan, it appears that the computer opponants have a real advantage at the start. Which they wouldn't have if you had warm tires. Just don't panic when they pass you. Use patience and re-pass them after you are up to racing temps.
