No refuelling at pitstops, but you can do whatever you have to do regarding tyres. Refuelling is also allowed. « Last Edit: April 22, 2018, 09:46:39 AM 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” Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Test run - Ferrari F2004 at Imola « Reply #1 on: April 20, 2018, 05:12:32 PM » Quote from: Wally on April 18, 2018, 07:45:45 AMNo refuelling at pitstops, but you can do whatever you have to do regarding tyres.That sux.I can only get 39.6 laps out of a tank.

But still, it's weird the tank is so small... I think I remember they could do a 1 stopper easily. No?

Yeah, banned from 84 to 94, then again from 2010. Looks like we'll have to allow refuelling then. « Last Edit: April 21, 2018, 11:19:11 AM 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” marty Hero Member Posts: 3747 Karma: -63 Re: Test run - Ferrari F2004 at Imola « Reply #5 on: April 21, 2018, 02:27:18 PM » Quote from: grat on April 20, 2018, 06:45:12 PMQuote from: Bacchulum on April 20, 2018, 05:12:32 PMQuote from: Wally on April 18, 2018, 07:45:45 AMNo refuelling at pitstops, but you can do whatever you have to do regarding tyres.That sux.I can only get 39.6 laps out of a tank. mmmm,... they still had refuelling back then... didn't they?

No?In 2004 they had an interesting rule where you started the race with the fuel you finished qualy with, I doubt anyone did a 1 stop as they would have to qualify too heavy. 2 and 3 stops were common from what I saw plus Schumacher did win in france by switching to a 4 stopper and running qualy stints to beat Alonso who had track position on him early and it didnt look like he could pass him on track.They were also the fastest f1 cars until this year but if they were allowed to qualify on light fuel they would still probably hold track records over this years cars as qualifying with 8 to 15 laps of extra fuel was costing them a bit of time in qualy.

I hope to have a season where the pit stop strategy actually comes into it for a change.

I hope to have a season where the pit stop strategy actually comes into it for a change.Did a season in these at ROOZ, strategy choices were fun. We did a couple full gp distances and 2 and 3 stops were both options. A 1 stop would be too slow as running heavy loses heaps of time and a fuel an tyres stop was usually about 20 secomds lost but could be 2 secs per lap faster.

This means you can get about 25 laps out of a tank.In real life, most drivers did 2 or 3 stops in a race.
