An annoying disadvantage the original LMP1 class has over the newer Spirit of Le Mans 2016 LMP1s is that you can't really manage your Hybrid boost like on the newer category cars.
It's throttle dependent, so you either use it in disadvantageous zones of the track (Ex: before Tertre Rouge at Le Mans) or you have to carefully coast with the throttle and lose precious tenths in the process.
But what if I tell you that you can manage your Hybrid boost like in the 2016 cars with virtual to none time loss?
Just open your ICM Menu while driving and play with the Fuel maps
Rich = Full Hybrid deploy
Medium = Medium Hybrid deploy
Lean = No Hybrid deploy
This happens because the Fuel map cuts off your throttle input (100% with rich, 95% with Medium, 90% with Lean) and 90% is exactly where the threshold for the Hybrid boost to activate is!
So with this you can run Hybrid-free and lose as little time as possible, and it's extremely useful for saving the boost in undesired zones of the track while optimizing your throttle input, and then release huge power in the next straight!!
Example here on the Marek:
Hope this is helpful! Cheers!
