About a month ago I posted a topic regarding fuel issues with the Viper Gr4. The issue was that in a FiA race, the Gr4 Viper was not able to run a full race at Suzuka with a single stop. The fuel map had to be altered to get the car to the finish. After the latest update, I found no fuel issues at other tracks, so I thought the issue was fixed.
It was not. Last night at Suzuka (11 laps) my Viper barely made it to pit road at the end of lap 5. I had to run the entire second stint in fuel map three because I was a lap short.
I was very lucky not to lose many spots while saving fuel because the room had horrid matchmaking (Dr S, Dr A, Dr B and a ton of Dr D). But if this room was much closer in speed, my race would have been ruined by having to go so slow on the track.
Since the Gr4 Viper does not seem to have fuel issues at other tracks, I am wondering if it is my driving style at Suzuka that is consuming too much fuel. Am I shifting too much? How can I maintain competitive speed in the Gr4 viper without being relegated to run a stint much slower than my competitors?
