I wrote it "looked more like" and that "probably for dif." adding that they claimed they wouldn't be focusing so much on specific setup for events.

You claim to know that it's pre-event setup test (stating it as a fact). There is a big difference between perception/opinion and facts, mixing the two is certainly popular recently. Therefore I make clear distinction between the two.

Can't agree with that.
- For development (specially in early stage/on basic level) you want to have as many things as possible constant.
- For pre-event setup you want conditions most representative for the event, so for Germany you can have half stage as hairpins with bumps and half with long fast corners on smooth tarmac. Setup for one is not ideal for the other, so the event setup will be a compromise that works ok on both.

Obviously if the basics are ok and you understand how the car works development has to move from "perfect" conditions to something more resembling stages.
