You can now earn a hefty chunk of R&D points by completing three tests during practice; track acclimatization asks you to simply drive through a series of gates, awarded points based on your track positioning and speed; tyre management is all about gauging your ability to look after a

tutorial for new players who are a little unsure how to stop their tires becoming useless by the end of a grand prix; and finally there's a qualifying
pace test where you simply have to gun it for a few laps and try to
set good lap times.
Rather than tuning out in a boring traditional classroom

tutorials that allow them to go at their own
pace and to logout when they become tired.
