Get rid of the technical director and replace with a Race Engineer.
Better quality race Engineer reduces pit time, helps reach best car set-up and calculates the fuel you need per lap more accurately.
For example, on the latter, the suggested fuel for laps is always high, but if you put in the correct fuel, you run out before the end.

That's a good idea. Because usually when I calculate how much fuel for let's say 10 laps, it's different for setting up the car's fuel. 


For example: SS Tyre consume 2.17 L of fuel for one whole lap. 

2.17L * 10 Laps= 21.7L
*In-game about 22-23 L for whole 10 laps*
So, we have 1.3L of excessive fuel

You will learn how to judge it eventually!

But it’s a great idea from James. I’m bias though, my pit stops have always been terrible! 😂

For pit stops I'd rather like a pit stop crew to be trained and maintained.

The trouble is a bit that the prediction seems to wander a bit through the levels. It's a bit greedy at first and then wanders towards way too generous. Somewhat the wrong way around I think. It won't be accurate, too much unknown variables to be considered, so giving a bit of reserve is the right thing, but I also think even if it could it shouldn't be too spot on in any case.

PS: If the car runs out (too soon that is, within a couple metres away from pit box is usually spot on perfect), it wasn't the correct fuel. ;-) Race consumption, if not compensated by lower PL, is usually higher because the tracks becomes faster during a race. But temperature differences also play a role.

Best way is to follow according to in-game numbers.

is the calculated amount of petrol calculated at push level 3 (medium)? if you only need PL 1 or PL 2 maybe less gasoline ???

No. Best way is to do the calculation on your own and round it up to closest integer. The number you get assumes push level 3 and running higher push consumes more fuel whilst running lower push saves some fuel. Using boost seem to cost some extra fuel too (according to my findings). If you calculate it like this and take temp(pushlevel) into account it usually turns out good.


Pro tip is to save the data from every race and you will eventually learn which tracks you usually over fuel and under fuel on and compensate for that.

Before you got the feeling for it, you can also add an extra litre in the tank for your first stint and then you will see how much fuel you have over when you pit and use that information for your next pitstop.

The simple answer is yes. But it takes a while to develop a good feeling for it. Keep studying those race reports and remember it for the next time you come to that track.

Thanks for the advice. I hope this will help other managers too.
