Ok,
so just adding Barcelona to the new MVRC Timing app took longer than expected, but now it is here:

https://mvrc-2026-lts.streamlit.app/

This is what we will be using for this season. In the next few days, I will make some modifications to the code though, so lap times will change. Most likely, I will activate the energy management of qualifying. What do you guys think about this?

Very soon, I will finally release a new MFlow.

And here is the calendar for 2026:
  • 30.08.2026: Prologue - Barcelona
  • 18.10.2026: GP Japan - Suzuka
  • 29.11.2026: GP Monaco - Monte Carlo
  • 10.01.2027: GP Italy - Monza
What do you think on how we should reward good performance in the prologue? I am thinking about 3-2-1 points for the fastest three.

Wow, this looks super cool, really next level! =D>
My first observations (obviously before the tuning)
-Currently the new driver seem to like a bit more front aero balance, that is for sure OK, every driver has a different taste, maybe the new guy is nordic. :wink:
-But he's a bit too quick, too! Maybe a "mu_weather" at 0.80 or so could be a cheap way to tune laptimes to realistic level in Barcelona, current designs beat F1 by good 6-7 s or so.
Or are there more drastic steps to be expected in the calculation method before we start to adjust the designs?

I am not sure, how much this 3-2-1 points would change the championship results - I would either suggest no points (really a public test to check all systems are OK) or sprint race scoring (8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) so that more teams receive meaningful points that may influence championship results. How about others?

Timing app looks fantastic very nice job.

3-2-1 is sounds ok to me too.
