I first want to say this suggestion is for (non-refuel leagues). I totally understand not using this for refuel races. But I meaning non-refuel races where you set your fuel or at least you hope it saved what you set. I have noticed it got rejected in the past. BUT is there anyway to reconsider this suggestion. I have seen all the what if this and that.
However, I have had at least 3 races combined in either one of my accounts this past week in which my fuel was not saved. I do not know what the issue is. It most likely related to connection issues with the server but it could be anything. I setup every race and always change my fuel number at least 20 liters lighter or more than the “preset” fuel number. The problem lies is if you have connection issues like I have had. Then your race is over before it starts. Now I understand if this was real F1 blah blah but this is not real F1 this is a game that depends on many different factors.
What I am suggesting is the option to be able to show up before the race and see that “wait that’s not my fuel number I wanted” especially if it is the preset number. It would only be for the grid just like you would change tires if it turned into a rain race after qualifying on dry tires. You will have that little time to fix the fuel issue that may or may not of been of your doing. When you don’t have this option, you pretty much lost any chances of placing for points in that particular race and hurts your team drastically especially in a championship race with a rival.
