How did you set the rev limiter for this test race you did?
I shall reconsider the race distance if the Minis can"t make it without a pit stop for refuelling.
With the lowest rev the Mini cannot do the distance whatever you do. At 100l per 100kms the fuel consumption can't allowed the Mini to finish ever a race this season. At Snetterton I run out of fuel within 12-13 laps running at full speed. Perhaps with slower rev could I make 13-14 laps..but I'll be slower by 2seconds at least. The corrective patch is much needed for sure.

Then we'll use the "no fuel consumption" option as we did in Oulton Park, I guess it's all I can do to keep it fair for everyone.
However I really hope that the Mini will be able to cover 10 laps of Goodwood, 12 of Silverstone or 15 of Crystal Palace!!

Bad news for you Toine. Without the correcting patch the Mini can't do 12 turns at Silverstone and barely 10 at Goodwood. I haven't try yet 15 turns at Crystal Palace though

I Have tried messing around with the fuel consumption in the HDV file with Ltd results but the only problem is if you go on another server to race you get a HDV mismatch just cant win here .....
Antoine if you use the "no fuel consumption" option then does that mean effectively you could start the race with no fuel at all ....

We did that at Oulton in fact For me it really doesn't matter to start the race with 1L, fuel has no importance in those sprint races.

All i no is when i start a race with 17 laps of fuel onboard i cannot get near my fastest lap time which i did with 5 laps of fuel on ..........So if we all start with the same amount of fuel i cant see a problem with that ....Just really looking forward to this one ....Does the 1L thing come in automaticly or do we have to set this in our own set up ......
