It had the wrong fuel rate, 1.5x. It should be 2.5x, which I've fixed now.If you've done any fuel calcs based on the prac server, multiply your fuel by 1.7. E.g. if you thought a stint needed 80l, make it 80 * 1.7 = 136.Tyre rate was too low as well.Noooooooooooooo!

The wrong tyre rate is a bigger Noooooooooooooooo - you can calculate fuel after a few laps, but you can't do tyres w/o running the whole stint again. I don't know how bad the tyre multipler was, but I'd really prefer leaving it at the "wrong" setting, otherwise all my testing is out on the window Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S10R8: Barcelona GP Pre-Race Chat « Reply #36 on: March 14, 2016, 05:37:30 PM » Sorry, my mistake in setting up the server. I don't know who's practised on what settings. The race length is the same as Mugello (although it's not as hot this round), so a similar strategy should work at Barcelona. For what it's worth, I'm able to run the whole race on mediums in the Nissan, just able to manage 15 laps in the first stint with some care.

Just a heads up. Logged trackmeister Newbie Posts: 23 Karma: 0 Re: S10R8: Barcelona GP Pre-Race Chat « Reply #38 on: March 14, 2016, 07:56:39 PM » I'll have to practice again. Thanks for letting us know Wally and how to calc the fuel. I like this track it's quite a challenge. Got a bit of everything. Spa is still probably a fav.

I can prob only manage 9 laps at the most with Audi on meds. Tried soft and was down to 91 at the end of the lap and couldn't power on in the final corner. Will sure be an interesting race as may need more than 3 pits.

Will sure be an interesting race as may need more than 3 pits.The softs are pretty much useless. At Mugello, which was the same length and format, people used a mixture of medium and hard tyres. I think everyone pitted twice at Mugello (unless they miscalculated their fuel).Remember the pit window is between the end of lap 6 and the end of lap 23, to do the two CPS. You can do extra pit stops outside of that as well, if you need to.If you look at the Mugello results here http://xgnassettocorsa.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/s10r4-gt3-at-mugello.html and click on a racer's name, you can see the tyres they used. Bacchulum in his Audi, for example, did the entire race on hards. « Last Edit: March 14, 2016, 11:05:01 PM by Wally » Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Dave O RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 380 Karma: 16 Re: S10R8: Barcelona GP Pre-Race Chat « Reply #41 on: March 14, 2016, 11:08:34 PM » Looks like I'll miss this round as well Wally, between lawn bowls finals and a kitchen reno not enough time in the day.Should have more time by next season Cheers Dave O.

I was surprised anyone could do a hotlap on softs at the race wear rate. « Last Edit: March 15, 2016, 05:56:32 PM by marty » Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"
