Fun run - Mazda MX5 Cup Fuel Saving
« on: June 02, 2021, 07:27:32 PM »
For something a bit different, I have set up next week's fun run to be the Mazda MX5 Cup at Silverstone National, BUT... the fuel multiplier is such that you won't last the 13 laps race distance unless you fuel save a bit. Setups are fixed. Can you be the fastest slowest driver?

Your target fuel rate is 3.46 litres per lap. Make use of a HUD app of your choice to show your current fuel rate.

I'm not sure off the top of my head what default apps are available that show you your fuel rate. I use Sidekick https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sidekick.11007/

'Race Essentials' gives you fuel use per lap and how many laps you are short.


On 'Race Essentials" if you have the time to have a look Wally, the App always appears on all desktops even when only selected for one. It does remember its position per desktop, but as I only use it on one, the others have it tucked away in the far corner.
I always knew the Sun shone out of my arse. Sean's bum is an anagram of Sunbeams.

Hmmm, I can't remember if that desktop behaviour is something the app can control, but I'll take a look.

I'll see how the first little sprint pans out, and then I can always bump up the multiplier for the next one if it ends up being too easy.
