v8.1 now available and there are some big changes to visuals, some gameplay and performance updates after Qatar test.

The biggest addition is the ability to set the number of laps your riders do in practice sessions, set from 1 lap to a max of 20 laps, the out lap from the pits counts so if you want them to do 2 flying laps you would set the run length to 3 laps and so on.

This is better than previously when riders came in after a random set number of laps. You can still manually call them into the pits to end a run early.

Other changes in brief, championship table now only displays riders who have scored points after the first race, live timing populates when riders have set a time, not when all times are zero.  Added some extra visuals to indicate position in live timing tower and also indicate the team for easy reference. There are more changes that you will see when playing

This update is fully compatible with save games from the previous version, v.8
