I haven't checked the forum, but I'm pretty sure the issue might have been discussed already and I'm sorry if so.
My question is, shouldn't we have an option if we want to refuel or not in case of a weather change?
As in I find it ridiculous to choose a one stop strategy and it starts raining on the 57th lap, I pit for a tyre change and add about an extra 40 liters just to make the car as heavy as possible and lose time during the pit as well

no. you can only opt to skip refueling if pitting due to a technical problem. it's part of the strategy to predict fuel and potential rain. everyone is on even footing that way.

Yes, you are right. Same thing happened to me as well. Stupid game, stupid logic.

its the same for everyone though so I wouldn't worry....everybody is handed the same race situation so its kinda impossible for most people to avoid.

it isn't, unless the game gives you a live race choice since you (or anyone) can't predict when exactly the weather might change. Which can't happen for obvious reasons.

Or you can gamble and not come in to change for rains. Got a second place for the gamble:)

Yes, the same thing applies for everyone else, but that doesn't make it any better, it still doesn't make any sense.
Plus, if one chooses a 2 stop strategy, and have an extra pit due to weather change, they still get out of the pit with a way lighter car even after refueling then the ones that chose a one pit strategy

That's exactly one way to avoid overloading the car. In such weather conditions the box strategy (I think) is one of the most important element, when you prepare for the race.

Or if you are 1 stopping, in the box for 'Fuel after stop 2' you have already a feature here implemented to give you control over the pit stop refuel for weather change in this race.
There was no way it could've rained before your planned pitstop, so if you had entered a small amount of fuel in 'Fuel after 2nd pit' you would avoid this situation.

What do you mean there was now way ? If i'm not wrong it was 35-45% chance of rain to start on 30min - 1h race time.
Unfortunately wet race is a big lottery... Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.

Why is this such a bad suggestion? Theres a box you can click to refuel for tech problems, why not one for when the weather changes? That would have nothing to do with being "live" during raceday or not.
Personally, I do think the wet weather portion of this game is a bit underdeveloped. This could help a bit.

Right... it kinda beats the purpose of a 1 stop pit, even if so that still doesn't make much sense given how accurate the weather forecast is, I mean judging by it, it could have started raining on lap 25, I could have entered 40 L for the 2nd stop, I would have needed a 3rd stop as well, that's not pit strategy anymore.
And above all, if you have an option not to refuel after a tech prob why on earth wouldn't you have one for weather change?

the way it is, adds to the game immensely, do you just want another same start rain or dry.
I chose to run my car smoke all over, it was a recovery race. with the rain and the fact I could not CTR this one and potential rain involved I had to plan to get some points.
id calculated there was a 30% apx chance of rain and though the lack of CTR I could make up by planning, so to catch the 1 less pit stop I fuelled to 80% hard tyre, I had a goldy locks zone lap 35-40 rain start quids in.
needless to say that's not what happened, but it made the race all the more interesting!
