Hello,

I'm new to the game and I have a question.
I can't seem to find how much fuel is used during practice or qualify sessions.
Can someone point it out?

Because right now it feels like it's not there, either that or I'm just blind.

Thanks!

A simple answer Jordy. None.

You do not us fuel during practice or Q1 but you do need to put fuel in the car for Q2.

Reading this /gb/GPRONoobGuide.asp#the-gpro-newbie-guide will help.

Ye I figured.
The big question is, how do I determine how much fuel I need to take during pit stops.
It's completely random at the moment.

Enough to do one lap. But do not try to find how much is it. It isn't needed anywhere :-)

You just have to know that amount that you'll put for Q2 will be used as fuel for the first stint.

Edit: too late :-)
But for your 2nd question. Start with 280L for a standard 300km race. The try to find the pattern (look at track characteristic and some parts level; changing the driver can also influence the consumption)

Edit2: you can get some figures when testing, but it's expensive, especially for a low level car

Jordy!

Energy saving / environmentally friendly car. It works even without fuel. (practice and Q1)
