Fuels and Stints

How do you know how much fuel to use and the setup and stuff

you are level 5 and you dont know ? :/

use a calculator

even without doing anything the technical director will take care of it ... but check him out as he's not always 100% correct ... you may load some more/less fuel than needed ... also you need to check the weather to see whether you have to change your tyres ... i must agree with nag however, even though i'm still a newbie myself you should know this by now

There's a certain fuel model I've been using for awhile now, after doing research on the forums through past topics, and it seems to be working well for me.

Donte - Have you taken on someone elses account?

Yeah my brother has given me his account Im kind of new to the game so I need some help with fuels and stints etc how u work it out

Aah right - I suggest you just go with your tech directors suggestions but put in a bit more fuel as it is never enough.  Keep playing and you will quickly get the hang of it.
Everyone has a different strategy so it isn't 'easy' to give any sure advice.  You will probably make mistakes to start with but it doesn't matter so long as you learn from them.

I am hopeless and the last person to give any good advice - lol - :)

You can also look at past races to see what fuel/tire usage was.

Erm for example if my ech director says 3.4 per litres per lap what does he mean does he mean 34? cos u cant put 3.4 lol

On a per lap basis you could round up to 4 liters per lap. But, if you think about the total for a stint instead it makes more sense.  For a 10 lap stint you wouldn't put 40 liters in if you only need 34.

Every time I look at my previous race and see my fuel its red why is that???

It's just a thing the site does with the little bar graph things. The color doesn't mean anything. Look at the number.

Yeah the fuel bar being red isn't so much of a bad thing, but rather good because the less fuel you have in the car, the faster is goes in theory.  Just don't under fuel or push too hard for too long.

What do I need to add up to know the right fuel I should have?

I agree with Nick Greene.

Take a look at your past season's race. It's more accurate than your Tech Dir's advise.

Example
START Hard Tyres, 38 liters of fuel
[list=1]
[*]34.5L -->> Get a calculator. Note: at the start you filled 38L and after a lap you had 34.5L remaining then (38L less 34.5L is 3.5L)
[*]30.9L -->> Do it again. This time its 34.5L less 30.9L.  3.6L
[*]27.2L -->> And so on. 30.9L less 27.2L. 3.7L
[*]23.5L -->> And so on. 27.2L less 23.5L. 3.7L
[*]19.9L -->> And so on. 23.5L less 19.9L. 3.6L
[*]16.2L -->> 3.7L
[*]12.7L -->> 3.5L
[*]9.1L -->> 3.6L
[*]5.4L -->> 3.7L
[*]1.8L -->> 3.6L
[/list]
From the consumption we've calculated so far. 3.7L is the most. So it's better or safer to base your load from it.
So if you are planning to run from it, a
[list]
[*]9 lap stint means 33.3L (9 multiply by 3.7). Round it off and go for 34L
[*]10 lap stint means 37L
[*]11 lap stint means 41L
[/list]

If you still cant get it. I'll go ahead.

The numbers in the example stated above was based from my previous Turkey results.

TURKEY requires
[list]
[*]58 LAPS
[*]Tyre Wear: Very High
[*]We already know the Fuel consumption for this race: 3.7 liters per lap.
[/list]
I opted to make 6 stints for this race,
[list=1]
[*]HARDS - 10 LAPS - (10 liters multiply by 3.7L) means you need 37L
[*]HARDS - 10 LAPS - 37L
[*]HARDS - 10 LAPS - 37L
[*]HARDS - 10 LAPS - 37L
[*]HARDS - 10 LAPS - 37L
[*]SOFTS  - 8 LAPS   -  29.6L, round it off and make it 30L 
[/list]
**why use softs on the final stint, when tyre wear requirement is very high?

i think it worked well for me, based from my previous results on this track
[list]
[*]soft tyres operates well until 7-8 laps at push level 1
[*]while hards until 12-14 laps at combination of push level 5,3,2
[/list]
