I can't quite understand what you're saying, but do you realise that the technical director makes an educated guess? What he says is generally not correct. Pushing hard/backing off will affect fuel usage. If you push hard and you're technical director has said 3.9 per lap, you may actually use 4 or 4.1 per lap. Your technical director's guess is based on an average of the fuel usage.

And to add to that - When you get to the higher levels, what the technical director tells you falls quite a way short of the mark as well, meaning if you follow him, you'll likely underfuel, by quite a lot.

I dont understand the question properly [assume you mean stops and not stints]

although reading though here should explain
http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=guide

1/ Your technical director will not be 100% accurate [although you have run the track twice+ before you should look at previous race results to find out how much fuel you used]

2/ if you worked out the above 10.769laps per stint, and the race is 53 laps long that leaves you 3 laps short, as detailed in the guide, so adjust your strategy to make allowances for these [by adding fuel to the first 3 stints to take them to 11 laps and leaving the last 2 as is]
"My
NB. You can also avoid over or under-fuelling by using a calculator. E.g. Spain is 66 laps, Tech director suggests a 4 stop [5stints] all with the same amount of fuel. 66/5 is 13.2 [or 4stints at 13laps and 1 stint at 14laps] meaning you won’t have enough fuel for your final stint, unless you have overfuelled the first 4.


3/ The easiest thing to do would have been to load last seasons setup [and looked at least seasons results] this would give you detailed information on how much fuel / tyres were used per lap [and then how much fuel was needed per stint] bypassing the "estimation" of your TD and giving you a more or less perfect fuel consumption

4/ + What Jamie says a high level TD will normlly underfuel you by a country mile, but this shouldnt matter as STEP 3 above should be the first thing you do before setting up for a race

you need to explain this better mate. 5 stints is 4 stops i guess. but if you've done 115 race you shud have info form previous seasons to go with that over the season your TD will not really be needed. as brady said use the previous race tab to see wot everyone else did and wot you did. to get your strategy right

most probably was the strategy...."pushing hard"  more fuel consumption obiously!! can´t thanx enough for all you guys answers! thanx so much!

This is strange and I just noticed this as I got a new technical director. I'm in the pro now and I changed him during the season. The guy that I booted got the assumptions of fuel usage pretty dead on but this new guy is amazing. I would fall 1 lap short on every stint if I followed his assumptions. So to me it seems that it's the director that actually starts to get things wrong...

Just crazy, isn't he supposed to be "better" as he has higher level? Feature or bug? ;)
