Hi there :)
Is it true that when on free run on an online lobby and Tyre/fuel depletion isn't on do you not get any miles on your car? :)

Answers are appreciated nasty comments aren't :)
 
Even if tyre/fuel is on you still will not get added mileage until you compete in an online race and complete it. Seasonal events will add mileage but only the first race.
 
Well that's strange because I bought a car for a series I'm doing brand new and I have only tested and raced online,
I have done 8 rounds now and there is over 1500 miles on it now so online does put miles on.
 
Ya idk about this I have heard you don't get mileage or anything on it as well, but I had some cars for seasonals that people could use for online and those cars got raised mileage when they shouldn't

Thanks, didn't know (or even notice) that.

This is incorrect. I do the Ferrari seasonals in 5 race batches so as to churn the UCD and to not have something nice slip by...While the car's bio will register that 5 race series(restarting immediately) as only 1 race I can assure you that the mileage from each and every race in seasonals will be added to the cars total...The 5 Sarthe races will always add between 70.0 to 71.5 kms to the car I happen to be in.

You don't do well in math do you? :dunce:

the_saint8 has it correct. 👍

Try 5 races at La Sarthe!...70+ kms...Where's the problem? Those kms are added to your Ferrari...End of story and don't throw insults when you don't know the facts!...
 
The answer is mostly no.
Cars doesn't gain mileage that adds up to the statistics in the garage, but some cars with working odometers (like the McLaren MP4-12c) gains the mileage on the dashboard display. Every 100 meters that you drive in the MP4 is counted, regardless of where and when you do it. It still doesn't add up to the statistics in the garage, but on the dashboard you can always see the true mileage of the car.
 
Rit is absolutely correct. I just tested this by running the Ferrari seasonal for like the 50th time and it most certainly added mileage to my Italia. It didn't need a wash, though. I thought that was a bit curious.

Edit to add: Just did it again... 1,842.4 miles before, 1,860.9 after. It DID take a wash this time, though.... weird.

Cars DON'T gain mileage in FREE RUN online
Cars DO gain mileage in RACE online

Cars DON'T gain mileage in seasonals that only pay once
Cars DO gain mileage in seasonals that pay more than once

Basically if you earn credits/XP then you gained mileage. If you don't, you didn't.

Then please explain why my brand new M3 which has only been in online free run and 9 rounds of my series has got 1500 miles on it?
Each round is a 10 lap sprint and a 25 lap main race.

Them 9 rounds would not rack up 1500 miles would it!!!

Depends on the tracks you run. If, say, you're at tracks that average 4 miles and do 35 laps, that's 140 miles per event. 9 of these would be almost 1,300 miles. Toss a couple longer tracks like le Sarthe or Nord' in there and you'd easily be at 1,500.

I just ran 4 laps around Indy Speedway in an open room while in free run, 991.1 miles before and 991.1 after.

I'm going to go away and add all the miles from tracks up and I will get back to you, most of our tracks have been small.

If you are in free run mode online miles are not being added on to your car and it doesn't matter the if tire/fuel depletion is on or not.
