Since this will be my first online race, I was wondering about pit stops, especially with 50 drivers. At 90 mins, will we need to stop for fuel or tires? Thanks for helping a noob.

Both last week's and today's race had some people asking on Teamspeak so if I may give some advice :

Rules of thumb :

90 mins races :
- always faster with 1 full service pitstop. Some cars can do no stoppers (like the Bentley), but it takes so much saving on both fuel and tires that you end up losing out
- for dry weather, fuel will be in the 140-160 litres ballpark, depending on the car and the engine map used (ideally, you're racing in race map and not in qualy map )

60 mins races :
- no stoppers are faster (in case there's no mandatory stop)
- fuel in the 100 litres ballpark

On tire pressures : in these 90 mins 3x accelerated time we actually go through enough of a track temperature change that having different pressures at start and at pitstop does help a bit. In this race's case at start it was better to aim for 34°C track temp pressures, while after pitstop it was better to aim for 31°C track temp pressures. In my case it means +0.2psi on each tire at pitstop. Again it's not much, but everything adds up.

[Lucas Degen]

It's gonna be interesting to have a race at Monza with 50 cars on track for a 90 minutes race. I'm happy with a 25+ finish, I don't expect a top 25 finish for me. Really looking forward.

What does x3 Multiplier means?

What does x3 Multiplier means?

the time in game flies by 3 times faster then the real time.

 

[Lucas Degen]

I thought so, just double checking so I wouldn't run out of fuel.

I would love to take part but can't get ACC to work more than 45 minutes. Always crashes.

Not sure if that's what happened last week
