Pit Strategy
As Mentioned the Choice is From 10%-90%
If you Set it to 10% Bob will Pit when he only has 10% Mental Strength left
If you set it to 90% Bob will Pit in 3 Laps
so really and I mean Really Don't Bother
Where the Strategy Really comes into effect is the Type of Car you are using and Its Fuel and Tyre Consumption
Take the Indy 500 thats shared by 4 Bobs Now in say the Minolta it can take anything between 6 -7 Pit Stops (usually its 7) Beacause its a Petrol Engine it'll Run out of Fuel before it does Tyres Usually
But if you decide to Nag your Bob's along with Pace Up they'll Wear the Tyres out before the Fuel
The Pit Stop for a fully Depleted Minolta is 1 min and 57 seconds as it'll needs 97 Ltr's of Fuel
So lets say you decide to use Pit Strategy and you set to 10% when the Car Pits and If you havn't nagged Bob to death during his Stint the Pit Stop Will be Shorter as less Fuel will be Used . TheTime in the Pits is Decided by How long the Fuel Takes to Fill the Car
If you use a Diesel like a Audi R10 it'll use less Fuel and be in the Pits on Average 1 min and 10 secs
To add to your Own Strategy theres the fact that Most People Tune there Cars be it engine upgrades or Bigger Turbo's for More Power . This again Effects Fuel Consumption during the Longer Races
Then theres the Sod the Plebs let them Run in the Car till the Tyres Melt , usually it'll mean less Pit Stops but your Drivers will be Drained Physically and Mentally and in Some Races (INDY again its 200 Laps and 500 Miles) they'll need to do Double Stints as each time they Pit there will be a Driver Change .
When you get to the Extreme Level there is one Race where you need 2 Drivers that would be a ideal Time to Get a New Driver and chuck him in the Deep End .
He will get Tired quicker and your main Driver will do most of the Driving .
My strategy was to run the Race at least 4 Times to Build up the Newbie Pleb so that when I finally got too the First Endurance Race which was the Grand Valley 300 I would then Create 2 more Drivers put them in the fastest Car I had and let them get on with it . No Pit Strategy as the Race wasn't long enough to need more than 4 Driver changes and because of the XP Levelling System they had to do that Race a few Times so the Newbie Plebs Levels went up Quite Quickly
One thing to Consider if you have a Idiot Driver now and he is not showing signs of Improvement Either you have picked a Driver with the Wrong tempermant of your Button Mashing Skills need improving .
They may Drive the Car but your the one that actually tells them how you'd like them to do it and hopefully they will
If they don't you can allways kill them......Oops I meant Retire them and make a new driver to replace them
