Yea, I'd run too!...... you're really pushing it now eh David......I don't usually post those numbers until race day.......it's pretty simple math that I'm sure you can figure out.......
If anyone is interested, or doesn't know, or for you math challenged folks, coughinsertnamecough.......read on....this is how I figure out each weeks laps and fuel.
We need race in laps for pit stops to work correctly (this might not be required now with the new patch), regardless, still the same math required.
So here is this weeks scenario.
Grp B
30 min race length = 1800 seconds
Avg lap time of 2:20.xxx = 140 seconds
1800/140 = 12.857 So I round off to closest even lap number, so 12 laps
Fuel lap avg = 3.4 litres. So 12 x 3.4 = 40.8 I then add 10% to pad fuel and round up to next even #, so 44.88= 46 liters total. So max starting fuel would be 23 litres.
Grp A
30 min race length = 1800 seconds
Avg lap time of 2:15.xxx = 135 seconds
1800/135 = 13.333 So I round off to closest even lap number, so 14 laps.
(At this point I make a decision on laps based on time we spend during the evening to help keep the night on schedule, I will usually go towards the lower number of laps (gpr b @ 12) to take in the time spent in the ready up stage and rolling start ect.)
Fuel lap avg = 3.6 litres. So 12 x 3.6 = 43.2 I then add 10% to pad fuel and round up to next even #, so 47.52= 48 liters total. So max starting fuel would be 24 litres.
As A & B are so close in fuel I round up again to 50 litres total, so both groups start with 25 max. This process ensures that no one should run out of fuel and you usually have more than needed. You can usually get away with putting slightly less fuel in at the pitstop but you will have to figure that one out yourself, and is 5 liters or so worth the risk!
