Title: Tires, Fuel & Pitting
Post by: rip|buzinator on November 24, 2010, 01:27:12 PM
GP7 Format:

 - Pitting optional
 - Tires x2
 - Fuel x2

Trying to remember how things tended to go down ... It was usually close but pretty doable without refuelling, even for me once I learned some making-fuel techniques.

Tires did need changing though.



For GP8...

A couple ideas:
 - Ban refuelling, consider increasing Tire rate?
 - Increase fuel rate to ensure refuelling needed ... adds a new level of tactics?

I think the tank on the FM is pretty small.  I always practice on full tank and I usually can get no more than 21-25 laps at the tracks we have been running 

 Having a ban on refueling might limit our race lenghts considerably on some tracks.

Interesting.

Will add to test schedule for next week.

recap so far:

 - Race distance will make refueling necessary even at x1 ... so that's what we will use.
 - Pit stop not required, if you want to run 20sec a lap slower to make it on 1 tank, go to town!

- up to x2 tires has little effect ... test x4 next.

From my runs this afternoon, I think x4 is good. Definitely saw a difference in wear vs x1 or x2.
