Hello, could anyone tell me some good tips for car levels in rookie or ammount of fuel in tracks ? Does the fuel consumption listed in the track stats influence much of the needed fuel in my vehicle ?

Fuel yes. You will get rough estimates for all tracks when you do a few races, after that, its about getting the fine details in the data to make it that you have a fuel consumption for a specific track

Car level especially, only upgrade when you think you need to, my advice would be above 70% ish, and i wouldn't go above l4 parts in rookie

Wow you should see in the season beginning mate, people (about 4 or 5 players) already upgraded their cars all the way to level 3 or 4. With 0% part use. LMAO. And then they get faulty cars right then and there and have to go back to level 1 due to being in debt of beyond -15kk. ¬¬

Yeah some people in rookie are mad. I used to be the same right when i started and yeah, they use stupid risks as well and then wonder why they are in so much debt when you could easily be 50m-60m. In rookie its 90% about the driver, the rest pretty much about strategy. You have a good driver you will blitz rookie

Another thing to note that wasn't mentioned already is to always calculate your fuel consumption as kilometres per litre, not laps per litre. This is because every track save two have different track lengths (Mexico City and Montreal are the only exception to this). Additionally, in the Race Analysis fuel left in the tank per stop is displayed in a percentage; this is the amount of fuel left as if 100% is 180 litres. As an example, let's say at Monza there was 1% of fuel left on board when you pit for your first stop at lap 18, or somewhere between 1.8L & 3.5L, and you put in 90L at the start; 18 laps * 5.787 kms = 104.166 kms / 88.2L = 1.181 kms/L. I know this is really technical and complicated, but it's really important that you grasp this part early on in your career. Car level? Don't worry so much about it until you're ready to promote.

Fixed that for ya, ol' chum. Norton, with the right driver you can breeze into Amateur, and that is where the fun begins.

thanks man, didn't figure it doesn't really matter in rookie. i can see many people expending money through their eyeballs and get into debt too early. have been putting 180 liters almost always since i began playing this game... this info is gold so this ends here. ive done added 50% so theres not much fuel now. since i went to gpro [Blacklisted] and it says i could expend about 250 liters so pitting in to fill up with 90 liters about 3 or 4 times and gas up to 270 if the track has the average fuel consumption it assumes to have while ending with about 20 or 30 liters left in the tank. hope this proceeds eventually.

Hi Norton, the best way to get ahead quick is to join a team, they will be able to give good advice on fuel, set up etc.

All but one track we race on won't consume 280L in a single race, Norton. However, that one track is the Indianapolis Oval, recently extended to the full length of 200 laps, thus consuming more fuel than one can fathom. Even when it was only 80 laps, fuel used still topped the average 280L we're all used to (us Rookies learning the game long, long ago that is). You'll find that the shorter the track length is, the nicer on fuel it is.
