Hey guys i got a race today with bf1 at city long track REVERSED and we ar doing 35 laps. 1 pitstop is required how much fuel whould i have at the start load and how much should i get at teh pit stop? Or the full fuel needed for the race will also be helpful so i can change when i want to stop not like at lap 16 or something. Thx guys!

Sorry if posted at wrong section.

Do a few laps and look at your fuel consumption and do the math

From fuel control online (google it!):

Quote :

Calculation Result of Calculation I:
Average consumption of BMW Sauber at South city Long reversed: 2.8 %
Consumption for 35 laps: 98 %

So, start the race with 55% (that includes a safety factor if you forget to pit for a lap and if your consumption is a bit more), pit on lap 18, and put in about 53%, which will get you to the end.

Easy.

thank you so much!

Ah, but you can't just "put in" 53%, it's "fill to", remember? So you'd have to stop on the latest lap possible if those were your settings, otherwise you'd run out of fuel in the final laps.

Assuming you pit when you plan to, you don't even think about it. 53% job done.

If you pit earlier, you'd need to change the fill to %, which is a pretty darn simple calculation.

However, after a conversation with Sinbad a few weeks ago I now agree that "add %" would be better overall. I was just thinking about it wrong...

I think the only reason we don't have "add %" now is because it could put you over 100%. I doubt that's a difficult programmatical hurdle for Scawen to overcome, but I can't think of any other reason why we'd have the current system.
