You can set your fuel load in the pit, where you change the setup of the car. There are tabs at the top wich you can change, one of them is fuel load...

So you have to change fuel load (and tires if available) before you leave the pit? At qualifying time? After qualifying, while sitting on the grid awaiting start, it's not available?

Benni Strunk · Aug 28, 2014

Yeah right, you can only change it in the pits. So before you leave the pits to put your car in the grid, you have to make sure that you have enough fuel onboard. During a practice or qualifying session, you can simply go back to the pits and change your fuel load/tires for your next laps. After you have driven about two laps, the game calculates your fuel consumption per lap and you can see the estimation in your fuel tab.

That was my first race, so I'm not familiar with the details. I didn't leave the pit to put my car on the grid; I left it to qualify, then I was placed on the grid after qualifying was over. Should I have watched the time and returned to the pit to set the fuel load before the end of qualifying?

I think you still can press "Esc" go to pits load your favorite setting an come back to grid (not sure tho, I have to check it).

@Ernest Aubert
before the race at your left side you have some icons/buttons
the wheel icon takes you on the grid, nothing you can do afterwards.
the wrench (setup) will allow you to change your setup for the race.
So don't hurry to press the "wheel" icon, go to setup first
Only press the "wheel" icon when you are 100% sure of your setup.

PS. Top left you will see the time remaining before you can enter the grid, if you don't make it in time, you'll start from the pits.

I didn't choose to place myself on the grid; I was still on the track when qualifying ended, and the screen faded and I found myself on the grid. This was my first experience with this, so I didn't know what to do or expect as qualifying was ending; I just kept driving, thinking I'd pull off into the pits, but I was pre-empted.

Benni Strunk · Aug 28, 2014

okay, you don't actually leave the pits, but the game puts you in the grid when the qualifying time is over. As Theodore said, standing in the grid you have opportunity to change your setup with the wrench button on the left (BEFORE you press the "wheel" button to drive). Just test it in a singleplayer race

@Stelios Fevgatos Everybody taming the F40 (or trying to deserves extra respect! Should also have TRIED to but then we wouldn't have had a fight for sure

I usually go for the extra challenge because i like to stress myself and besides, the F40 is a really nice car to drive. For 10 minutes.

Requesting a F40 -only race when pits are available !

Sorry to hear that Henri.

Noted!

Here's a vid of an intense battle I had mid-race. Enjoy!

PS: Here's a replay link of the last 10 laps. Just unzip it in my documents\assetto corsa\replays\

I have to plead ignorance here. I just invoked the unzip, but I can't find any folder named "replays" except for F1 2012. And I don't see any folder named "Documents" anywhere in Assetto Corsa. Do I need to create a "replays" folder? If so, in what path to Documents?

Torbjørn Withbro · Aug 28, 2014

my first time in a official race. Fun while it lasted. lost connection with server after 8-10 laps.. Same during qualify..

Since I was a rookie in the field I learned a lot about circuit racing. driving behind faster drivers helps alot.. Hope I did not slow down you guys to much during the race.

Will drive more races. It was fun.

Herbie · Aug 28, 2014

@Ernest Aubert the other way round ;-) thereis an "assetto corsa " folder in the windows /User/documents folder. There are the replays and also the setups saved.

Very nice clip and great driving. I'm even there too, trying to dig myself out of sand.

Ah, found it. I had to use my intuition. Having worked as a programmer for 35+ years, I was looking for the exact character strings I was reading for a path. But I got there. Thanks. I see now that the reason Windows search didn't find what I was looking for was that I typed "replays"; I just now typed "replay" and it found it.
