Hello Folks,
May I ask what the heart symbol at the top in the middle next to the training symbol stands for in the training page? I know it has to do with health, but what’s the x1,x2 etc all about?
As well, I may have been delusional, but I have a feeling that when I set a certain amount of fuel pre-race, if there’s any fuel left over before I pit, it doesn’t carry over after the pit stop. So just to be clear, when you select an amount of fuel before pitting, that’s the amount that will be fueled and there is no carry over from the fuel from the start of the race???
Please clear these thing’s up for me, it will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Kind Regards!

1. It is a sort of "multiplier" for how much you want to train your driver, so you just click once instead of 10 times in case you select x10
2. There is no carry over between stints, so the amount that you put in the pit menu will be what is put in the car

As an example if your car enters the pits with 1.5 litres remaining and you have specified 30 litres, only 28.5 litres will be added by the pit crew.
This is important because if the car were to leave the pits with 31.5 litres (carryover as you describe it) there is a potential for the car to do a lap more than calculated in the next stint. In two car leagues this could result in double stacking which is a race wrecker.

I’m so confused now because Titan said there’s no fuel carry over, which I agree, because it seems like whenever I select a fuel amount with carryover in mind, I always end up getting f***ed over for fuel.

In what was are you confused?
The pit crew will fill your car up to the number of litres you specified. So like I say, if you specify 30 litres but enter the pits with 1.5 litres remaining the pit crew will only load 28.5 litres of fuel to give you the 30 litres you asked for.
The best way to work out fuel load is to use your practice laps to determine fuel consumption per lap and use this figure to calculate your requirement.
Example, practice laps indicate 2.72 litres per lap. You want your first stint to be 10 laps... 2.72 x 10 = 27.2 so you specify 28 litres.
You only just started playing the game, it can be a bit more complex than this because practice is done at PL3 and if you are going to be using an extremely low or high PL throughout the race you may need to tweak the calculation. But for now in your early iGP career the above method will work most of the time.

Okay, thanks, I appreciate your time and info!
