Fuelling skill for TD

Hi Tudor

So the extra decimals will certainly be helping your precision, but there are other factors missing from your calculations.

With your practice laps, each one runs at a standard push level, I believe this to be Push Level 3, but I have seen others theorise that it might be push level 2.

You push level affects your fuel consumption in the race. So this means that your calculated fuel will only work in some scenarios. 

To precisely calculate your fuel you will also need to:

• work out how push level affects fuel consumption


• correctly estimate how hard you will be pushing during the race (this is easier for offline leagues as it is fixed).
  

Factors that can influence how hard you are likely to push include: Personal style, Temperature, Amount of fuel in the car, stage of the season, Choice of strategy (softer tyres = less push)

I believe there is another TD called race engineer, which will let you manually set push levels for 1 (common), 3 (rare) and 5 (legendary) practice laps per car which might help you gather this information, but it is also possible with time to work out this sort of thing without it.

By my understanding, all practice laps are always at the same push level, unless you have a the TD ability which allows you to change it.

I simply can't remember if it's PL2 or PL3. If I could remember for certain i'd let you know, so apologies for that.

As for figuring it out, some players have had it figured out to perfection for years. I imagine they worked it out over time by analysing massive amounts of race data over time, taking note of key pieces of information. As there were none of these TD ability's which helped you come to conclusions faster back then, it would have been down to pure data analysis.
