    I have a lot of questions about the weather and I couldn't find a post explaining how it works:

    - In offline, what is the date used for the weather during the tests, compared to the date of the race?
    - same question for the qualifications?

    When a race date is scheduled for example in 15 days on the lobby, how is the weather created? is it the weather of the day or do we go online? is it based on weather forecasts?

    4 days of future weather based on forecast, Further ahead you get current weather, dates before today get historic weather based on OpenWeather database and forecast,
    The date you set in de the lobby is the date of the raceday, Qualification is one day earlier than the chosen date.

    If I connect to a lobby with a date in the future, as long as it is not 4 days before the scheduled date, it is therefore the actual weather that applies
    For free trials it's two day earlier ?

    You mean, if you see a race date, that is 2 days in the future, practice should be current weather? Yup, that's how it should work! :)

    sorry , google translates for me... ;)

    For a race scheduled on the lobby:
    - the weather is that of the current day except if the date is in less than 4 days, in this case we use the weather forecast
    - the qualifications take place one day before, so the weather is that of the current day unless the date is in less than 4 days, in this case we use the weather forecast
    - The tests take place 2 days before the race, so same principle as for the qualifiers
    is it correct ?

    For an offline race, is it the same principle or everything takes place on the same day at the times indicated?
