what about the stints?

Can someone explain me how the stints works? Is the first one the qualifying stint and the other are race stints?

All stints are race stints. The only \"qualifying thing\" about the stints is that in qualifying it will use the same tyre type as you choose for the first race stint.

So the fuel of the 1st stint will be used in qualifying right?

Hi Jack,

Can you give us a prediction of when that guide will be released?
And congratulations for everything so far :)

I read Jack\'s post and noticed that, but I\'m about to try some major changes in my team and I thought it would be wiser to wait for the guide. So I was asking if he could tell us if the guide would take 1, 2 or 5 days. But I imagine that there\'s loads of work for the admins  right now and I\'ll just wait!
Thanks anyway

Alright, sorry! :-)

How do you know how long each stint lasts? and also is the race the % of laps said on the circuit info. eg is abu dhabi 27 laps or a % of 27? thanks

Hmm.. this goes against what I've seen happen in my races. I set the first stint on low few and qualified on pole, for all races before this I left the fuel levels the same and qualified very low down the pecking order - this needs to be clarified for us new people trying to get to grips with all the strategies please....

My data also supports this view. It would appear that the qualifying time is based on the fuel level for the first stint & not on the minimum amount of fuel.

Your suspicions are accurate.  Changing qualifying so that cars use a low level of fuel was on the drawing board and had not yet been implemented.  I have done so now though and will update the simulator later on today.  Sorry for the confusion.

This update is now live.

Just to clarify, the qualifying now uses a pre-determined level of fuel and not what is set for the first stint?

Thanks,
Jason.

yes it is now set at 10L - see-

Thank you Andrew & Jake

So shouldn't we start with worn tyres?
