Hi, this may just me but I keep underfuelling my cars because I can't work out how many laps are left. Is it possible to show how many laps are left. Maybe have a button to switch between which lap you are on and how many are left. I know I just need to learn to count but it would just be easier to know how much fuel if it showed how many left.
Thanks

or whip out a calculator mid-race.
final lap of next stint stint - last lap of current stint=laps needed
say if you are on lap 18, last lap of your current stint is 20 and for the next stint you want to go to lap 30, just do 30-20 to get 10 and you should be all good. Hopefully this helps ?
Ok...I may be missing something here... I thought we have such information access during live races already.
When you click on the "crossed hammer/wrench" icon it tells you how many laps you have left before the next pits top. Is that not in essence what you're wanting to know Drew?
Hamlet that is how much you have in your tank, I want to know how many laps are left in the race before the last pit stop so I can better decide how many laps I need to fuel for on my last pits. If you underfuel you may run out, if you overfuel you will be to heavy and loss some pace.
Honestly, if you've been doing this awhile, you should have an idea how long your stints are going to be for your strategy. Yes, I looked at your league and see you have a 2 tire rule and are running a different race duration this season. For fuel, I usually try and aim for being 0.2 under to 0.1 over (e.g. 10.8 - 11.1 for instance). Typically, the strategy fuel calculator over estimates your economy. The actual fuel usage can change depending on what push level(s) you use during the race. I also look at previous races of the next track that are the same distance, and use that as a baseline, typically mimicking more successful strategies. If you set the fuel up properly, you should only have to make a significant change if rain starts/stops/changes intensity (how much rain is falling) mid race. Any minor change should be made if you're running a higher or lower push level than expected, and is usually adding or removing a liter, 2 in some cases. If you like to push on your in and/or out laps, this will temporarily throw off the in race fuel calculator.
Just use your fingers to count, if you have problems. It helps.
Only a valid idea if you don't plan on doing more than 10 laps.
On the PC you can see how many laps you have already done if you want to know. If you change the game statistics, which usually shows you how much the gap between cars is, to the "tyres" section you can see how many laps you have already done which each driver. You have to do the calculation of how much laps are left to do by yourself of course.

It's simple. Laps completed = current lap - 1
For mobile users Joshua's advice is valid most often as well. The only problem is that the lap count it shows to you is that of the race leader. So be careful where he is on the track and where you are (he already passed the starting line, while you haven't) or if you have been laped (or are 3/4 of a lap behind) it might get messy with assessing which lap it is.
