since the suplier update the fuel usage has gone up and I've had some problems with the pit light going on, so drivers wanting to pit while they have enough fuel left to do 1 more lap. I've had this a couple of times now and at first I let them pit, as I tougt iGP must be right. But now it's just going on without the need to, latest one today:
I was on a 8 lap first stint, and the pit light went on. The whole stint was push level 1/5. I manually pressed it so my driver wouln't pit, did push level 5/5 in the last sector and I still had 0.3L left in my pit stall. I was doing a higher push level then I was before when the pit light went on and it still wanted me to pit, and if I hadn't been quick enough it had automaticly pitted my driver. It's getting a bit annoying now as I've had to unpress the pitlight button at least 3-4 times last season. (I like to live dangerous)

I think it works on the fuel required to do the next lap based on 5/5 push (no matter what you're currently set to) and a safety margin on top of that. 0.3 is mighty close and I think it's reasonable for the driver to pit early when it's that tight. I'm not sure if the driver or staff skill has anything with how much 'safety margin' goes in to it.

It did the same thing to me last night. 3.8 per lap for normal laps and pushing laps was at 4.. I went passed the pits with 9.. so at the very least. I had 8.5 on.. It went to 8 on T2 (Australia).. I moved from backing off to holding. Went for a drink and they was entering the pits... Gurrrr..




Edit. I have just checked last nights fuel loads and It is saying that I had 6.9.. Not a chance in hell.. That might be the correct amount, but it was not on the live timings.
