Fuel consumption and the "revised" GTE cars.

[johnnymat]

I just did a 10 lap race at Portland with 21 GTE cars on 100% difficulty. I started in 10th. and worked my way up to 7th. All of a sudden, the AI cars started pitting and I ended up winning. I double-checked, and fuel consumption was set to "normal". I knew there were some issues like this a long time ago, but I thought they had been fixed. Is there any way to fix this other than disabling fuel consumption?

was there rain? did you allow practice and qualifying to be fully completed? Do you have, I think it's called Fast Start enabled in your player.json?

No, I didn't do any of the things you mentioned. I will try everything and see what happens. Thanks.

you can accelerate both the practice and qual, but don't just finish them. There was another thread like this a few months ago, beleive it or not, his starting method seemed to be the culprit. That was the reference to the fast start option. Sorry I can't remember the exact wording. Rolling Starts if memory serves. Also be aware users have said this happens more often if you restart the race several times. i.e. you have a first turn wreck and restart the race. The more you restart, the more likely the cars run low on fuel.
