How do you run out of fuel on pit lane? I was watching the race, my driver was more than 1/2 way down pit lane (I am 3rd box from exit). Then I get retires-fuel? I am pretty sure an F1 car coast 1 mile or 2.2 km if starting at pit road speed...
All that being said, it is a nit picking thing on my part, I probably ran him out using KERS on the in lap. Although I am sure that doesn't make sense either. KERS increases fuel consumption in the game maybe? probably relates to car speed, not engine speed.
Either way my other driver won and i still lead the championship :)

Jason, you are right the car should coast along after it runs out of fuel, however this has not yet been implemented. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you.

No Problem, I love the game. When the driver hit pitlane i focused on my other guy, as that was his in lap and KERS'd it up for seperation. When the 2nd guy hit pitlane I flipped back and that is when i noticed he retired. I didn't know it was fuel until after the race...

Can coast more if running on a metric system ? :)

Overfueling by a litre isn't all that reducing towards race results.
