Are you guys planning to run this flat out or fuel save a little bit?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hadn't even thought about pit strategy.

 

[larrybr07n]

You guys in pro are super fast, my strategy surely doesn't matter

I'm running in the 37s in practice with an optimal of 1:36:800ish but I can never get all the the sectors right, damn Interlagos!

 

[Pigems]

Hadn't even thought about pit strategy.

It seems like the initial fuel is enough for around 24/25 laps flat out, so I’m thinking about splitting two pairs of tires over that tank and then only fuelling up enough for each set of tires from then on out. I haven’t worked out pit loss yet so I’m not sure if it’s worth stretching sets of tires any longer then that yet.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I am probably dead last so my strays at not that important. I was planning to go as long as I can on the tank with one stop in between for tires.
Then I will know how many laps I have to fill for a set of tires so I will do that afterwards.

 

[El_Beardo]

I'm just gonna do whatever Pigems does.

Just, slower.

So it looks like the next FIA season starts on the same day as this is scheduled. @Bivittavus88 will the timing conflict with that?

Quali starts at 20:00 UK time (12:00 PST - 15:00 EST) race should take approx 2 hours? Ish? I think. So, we should be done by 22:15 UK time.

Might interfere with a few time slots for the Euro guys. But, those on the other side of the pond should be alright.

Ahh, I keep forgetting that EST first slot is 18:00 now instead of 17:00. Good deal!


Also strat wise I'm just hoping to not have to get towed back to the pits without fuel.

I usually go for the earlier EMEA slots anyway, so fitting this and Nations in on the same day should be no problem for me. 👍

Strategy usually isn’t my strong point, you may be better off to wait and see what @Mistah_MCA comes up with.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm thinking ~2 stops with some fuel saving or ~3 stops with some speedy driving.

So you’re gonna try to make one set of tires last for an entire tank of fuel?

 

[CodeRedR51]

If you're fuel saving you're probably going to use less tire. But personally I would go with the 3-stopper.

 

[El_Beardo]

Current plan for strategy is pit at the end laps 18, 36, and 54, taking on enough fuel to run to the next stop.

 

[El_Beardo]

That's my livery 99% sorted. I'll be running a practice lobby tomorrow night.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Did about a half tank worth of laps last night. Figure I can run pretty far on a set of tires without much drop-off. Should be interesting.

 

[El_Beardo]

Practice lobby open if anyone wants to run some laps.

When I ran laps tonight I was in this one:

I also made this one:

But, since the majority of liveries seems to be red/yellow I am going to stick to my fluorescent green car

I still prefer the first one you had over all of the others.

This still open to sign ups?

If so can I get in on this ??

Possibly. I'll be roll calling this later today tonight. If anyone needs to drop out, you can have the slot.

I need to drop out, sending my controller back today.
