AC Multiclass Abarth 500/Maxda MX5 @LeMans, Wed 8th June 2022

even if it goes to 13 laps should still be enough..

No way: You can only fill it up to 35 liters which isn't enough for 7 laps.

BTW: I'm using about 5,7l per lap. I guess 6 laps for 35 liters will be tight but doable.
I had to lift and coast a bit in my race simulation.
Don't know how you manage 5,4 liters.

Don't know how you manage 5,4 liters.

Im not redlining the gears or changing down hard,plus my Abarth lap times are not like yours so u must be driving it hard,plus set ups help especially altering the Toe and Camber..Im using Enzo,s fuel calculator which seems pretty accurate

I am running 6.1 litres a lap.
I am doing 15 laps
What am I doings wrong.

When I get home will have to look into this.

 

[HF2000]

This is getting very interesting!

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Dar,nt say what my fuel is for the Mazda, i might get shot.....

Ernie will be towing a fuel bowser,so he wont be hard to miss..

 

[stigs2cousin]

Nah, certainly you´ll NOT be shot

Well, that´s a little mean, isn´t it??

(BTW my abacus stipulates that 14 laps a 5.4l can absolutely be done with 70l of fuel )

That was fortunate, found my brain lodged behind the sofa, what a donk.


it is 12 laps, not 15.
I will still need 2 pit stops, or do I risk just 1 ???

PS
just re-read the above, somehow I took no notice of the umpteen clues presented to me

 

[stigs2cousin]

Don´t be to sure about that.

If the 12th lap ends a 59,55 will go 13 laps

(OK, most of us will )

 

[Douglas Aird]

I'm fuelling for 13 laps...

 

[stigs2cousin]

I'm fuelling for 13 laps...

That'd be two stops in the harddrinking shitbox

 

[Douglas Aird]

That'd be two stops in the hatddrinking shitbox

Lol, I am in the Mazda so all good.

 

[HF2000]

Guys, do you want me to set the time multiplier to 24 do we can simulate the real race a bit more?

I've never used this setting so there's a risk.

Of course many would like to, but I'm not sure that everyone has CSP/SOL installed (which is what is needed for the dynamic time of day to work, as far as I remember). I personally have it installed so this would be ok for me, just let me check where's the lights command.. though many cars have the light already on during the races so this may even not be that big of a problem

If this is something which is transparent for the ones who do not have the needed plugins, why not? I'm sure that driving at night is more difficult and some of us would be "harmed", in a way, but as this is just a race for fun.. at least it is for me

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

There wont be 13 laps only 12...

 

[danny26]

I'm going to try the one-stopper in the Abarth, but I'm ready for a last-lap fuel stop in case I'm a bit heavy on the juice or the stars align and we end up doing 13. Nothing wrong with a bit of panic and peril on race day

My GPU isn't good enough to enable many SOL features so I'm not sure I can support 24hr yet. Don't know if these means I couldn't join the server.

 

[stigs2cousin]

I like the Idea of "time warp" but think x24 is bit much.
A 2 hour change per lap sounds wrong.

How about x12, lets race from noon to midnight

(I still have figure out how to set it, didn´t work last time. CSP1.75 / SOL no clue)
