I feel like that and the practice-session lap times are going to be the best metrics to predict who is favored to win.


Based on what you posted, I think most cars can do one stops, IF they wanted to, to be honest.

@Absurdist: That's what I would expect, but knowing the exact numbers - e.g. Packbat is expected to pit on lap 26 for 55.4 kg of fuel (plus tyres; I'll give you that for free) - for everyone could be very useful for knowing what to expect and being able to predict the implications of unexpected race events.

Hmmm, only one I can see who will not make the half distance would be Daffyflyer, Who needs 2.6ish tanks to make it.

You took my original strategy! Now I am trying out 2 stops with just enough fuel to meet how long it takes to swap tires. Hopefully, slightly less time in the pits overall.

Is there something with my connection or did I confuse the time or did it not start yet?

i set my no pit after 85%(rougly about 75 minutes) but why my car not not changing to dry tyre when the track dried especially when the race hit 60 minutes mark? and instead i make pitstop on last 10 minutes race. did i do something wrong in my submitted stratergy?

Also add a "do not change tires x% within a planned pit stop" and you get my "Imma drive wets all the time" for the past 20 minutes

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [RACE 1 NOW]

well not saying that 6th is bad. nor am i saying starting from 24th and finishing 6th is bad... but i was about to finished 4th, and a driver error on the VERY LAST FRIGGING CORNER and i lost 2 places...... on that last corner.
i guess he was under pressure from behind..... or was he?
pyrlix, did your driver nudged my car?? :/

anyway.
1. a brand new untested car AFTER the second pre-season test +
2. no inters strategy +
3. low D/S +
4. below average reliability +
5. relatively slow car
=
moving from 24th to 4th......
can someone explain this to me. i just played the russian roulette and won?
