@Riso Your car started in lap 4/5 of racing and ran out in lap 17. Do the math, like you just recently told someone

[koolkei]

uhh no. it's 20 lap per car. the lap counter on the top right is pretty useless on practice and qualifiying.

Uuuhh no. It shows the largest number of laps of all cars. And this practice was 20 laps. So if it shows 5 laps and you are still in the pits then your counter still is in lap 1 of course.

Would be a good point if the NA did not start in the same lap but was rated 20.

Edit: The NA should also get docked 5 laps is what I am saying.

Another one about strategy (just to be sure): if I schedule a stop every 20min with a margin -5min and than an irregular stop occurs at 16min, next regular will be 20 min after that one at 36min right and not at 40min as default?
Still waiting for one or two cars for the race answer

@Riso: I still don't get what you want to say.

@AirJordan: I guess 2 cars will be possible.
Cars will always pit the right amount of time after their last pit stop when in endurance mode. I. e. the timer is always reset, no matter if it was planned or not.

Two cars, both start in lap 4,5.

Car one runs out of fuel in lap 17. Is noted at the end as 13 laps driven.
Car two runs until the end of the session, is noted as 20 laps driven. However car two started in the same lap as car one. Should the counter not take note of that and show it as 15,16 laps in the statistic?

Car two ran 20 laps. It started in lap 4.5. And if the first car started would have continued driving, they would have been at lap 24.5. Or in other words, a car runs 20 laps unless they run out of fuel, which your turbo did.

Will wider tires reduce wear?

Also would the bug that caused my car to not have a body affect its fuel usage?

Car one started four laps after the leader, completed 13 laps, ran out of fuel. Because the 'leader' (i.e. whichever car started earliest or was able to pass the car that started earliest) was on lap 17, "lap 17" was displayed at the time it ran out of fuel.

Car two started four laps after the leader, completed 20 laps. Because the session was limited to 20 laps, the leader never went to lap 21, so "lap 20" was displayed at the time it finished.

The lap number in the upper right corner is meaningless in practice because it is the lap number for exactly one car: the leader. That's why Der Bayer added the laps-completed page.

Will wider tires reduce wear?

I believe Der Bayer said they would.

If that's a SUV, than I'm a bodybuilder.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what these types of cars are called, but yeah, it sits too low to be an SUV, but its too bulky to be a hatchback I think? Still, atypical body doing under 2:19 around the track, albeit with significant tire wear..... I am looking forward to this season.

Der Bayer, will we get another practice like this before the main season? I would love to try my current setup against a more.... intense..... version of the car.

Yes, the car weight to tyre width ratio affects tyre wear.

If I cannot load your car, I will have to disqualify you, because I cannot check which body you used.

I've fixed the body issue now I'm just wondering if my fuel usage will be different now because of it.

[Der Bayer]

Probably not.

Great, so Laggator stays! So much tuning to do...
