I found this of little to no use at all. Unfortunately Steam will not provide a refund due to me having waited over 2 weeks to try it. Waste of 15 bucks. I feel scammed.

Excellent program, used this for a couple cars to sort out a base setup and found it very useful and informative already, giving a much more stable setup and thus reducing laptimes.
This software is not designed to give you an out of the box setup, it's a guide to tell you what you should be adjusting for specific handling issues. Setups are very personal and can vary greatly depending on your driving style and skill level, but VRCE has already proven invaluable for me to know what adjustments to make, the rest is up to you!
I believe that if you use this software for enough time, then eventually you should gain enough knowledge to be able to set the car up without the need for VRCE. If that's the case then it's money well spent as it has learnt you to be able to set up the car on your own!

I don't normally do reveiws BUT !! . In this case i had to write something about the NEW Virtual Race Car Engineer 2018.
There are free pit chiefs out there BUT nothing like this have i every had before that works so amazing good & so simple to use that you think just looking at it that is never going to do anything great for me. WELL TRUST ME & BUY THIS !!!!
If like me your into Sim Racing the likes of Project Cars 2 , Assetto Coursa , Race Room Experience, Some of you might have the other Sim racing games iRacing is one. Well when i look at a YT video of this i thought nothing big & could do with out it then a friend of mine said that he got it & that it was on sale & get it so i did just that & got it on sale at just £7.51 so not a lot of money & VERY WELL WORTH IT IN THE END :)
First trying it out on PC2 ( project Cars2 ) i tested it with a BMW TC ( Touring Car ) at Donington Park GP Course.
so done a few laps just driving around & warming up the tyres getting ready to do a fast test lap with DEFAULT SETTINGS & FULL TANK OF FUEL. Test lap was a 145.712 so i took the tyre temps for this App input all the data i had & put in that was understeering in the corners. The app told me what i should do with some of the car set up which i did + or - 2 clicks of the setting the APP told me needed to adjust ( Up to you what you adjust & how much or less ).
Well out i went on a out lap of Donington Park it was Midday & sunny coming up the the last corner got ready for 1st fast lap Could feel the difference in the cars handling already by now & when i went over the Start/Finish Line it was a 142.432 then i carried on & next lap was a 142.160.
So by just doing the first set up a little i was over 3sec faster already & i know can go faster once i get use to the setting up of the car more.
So if you wanna get the most out of your sim racing i would say GET THIS TODAY !!! your be amazed & so will ya friends at hopw much faster you have gotten with this AMAZING APP
VIRTUAL RACE CAR ENGINEER 2018. Well done to the person who done this app its not easy to get such a easy use app that can make so much time up in a race car. :)

There's no wet setup option, and sincerely the price of the bundle is too expensive compared to what is the content; most of the informations are well known by the people having a bit of experience on setting up a car in simracing; I expected quite more options and details from the software, having the option to evaluate before buy I would have been optiong for not purchasing it. It could be an option for the gamers having absolutely no knowledge on car dynamics, but it's definitevly useless for mid/advanced racers.

Not good at all as it is not useful. I just bought to see what it does provide and the result is, nothing. Simply nothing that you don't already know or find anywhere else. Further to that, the app doesn't even work properly. Therefore, I can't recommend it and even with the discount this entire text document is overpriced. Yes, it is just an entire text document. I will ask for a refund!
Addition after the developer's response (29/06/2018 at 5:43 pm BST):
Dear Mr. Developer,
I never posted anything on Reddit, I don't use this platform,, so I wonder whom you replied to what?
Further to that, you may not be aware but Steam games work like that, once you run them they open the executable automatically. I would assume you would have known that but it appears you don't. Why would someone using Steam start their games manually?
Just to be more precise, your app is indeed a text file but I might have forgot to mention the detail that it is an animated text file.
However, it doesn't change that it is just a text file, which is not working properly. You click here and there, enter details here and there but nothing happens. So my review remains current and valid.
Best regards,
Patrick
