F1 championship edition released in 2006 had a really good car and race setup mechanic. During practice sessions. You'd get a good run down of what the track and conditions were and point you towards what kind off setup you'd want. Low downforce for Monza and high for Monaco. But also it help you with fine adjustments to Camber, suspension. Etc etc etc First you would do a couple of laps for a baseline. Then next you would first make adjustment for camber. Do a lap with increased negative camber. If you was slower. It would tell you to try a lap with reduced camber. But it didn't force you to do untold laps fine tuning. Was up to you. It would point out to keep in mind the lap times of the Ai and where you needed to be. But also explain that a fast setup isn't always as good as a setup that best suits your driving style.
My memory is a little fuzzy. So I can't be sure. But I think if rain was forecast for Qualifying and/or race it would also tell you what adjustments you should make.
i miss that game mechanic so much
