In Mid-Ohio's real weather nobody would race, but in my opinion it would be great to sim those conditions, cooler engines, tires having more difficulties to get temperature, cooler brakes, wind speed affecting slipstreams and curve speeds.... making it a bit of a different challenge for the drivers in every event.
My dream idea would be to race real weather conditions including rain but that is an utopy in this moment.
Temperature doesn't matter at all, I think. 29°C or 0°C makes no difference. Tires are still at 25 at start, and engine temperature 61... I have never noticed it being harder to get the temperature up.
The only thing we can vary is overcast or sunny, and wind speed might work (actually I have never really payed attention to it but I think it works).
Some clouds on race day is nice though.. I like it when the clouds makes everything darker and then the sun comes back. But that's pretty much the only thing we can change. Sad but true.
I would also love to do one rainy race or two, during a season.
