Seems like a no brainer if the game has that option available. Prevents a lot of research afterwards.

Agreed does seem to make sense to enable it server side if Petes alright with that. How about enforcing a higher minimum fuel intake like 10L?

Not a fan. I have no idea what my strategy is going to be, so i don't even know if just 1L is a viable option. The 1 hour races are the most interesting when it comes to different strategies. The 90 minute race will be 2x45 min, with 60 minutes and 1 stop you have several options. The 1L splash and dash is now known by everybody, so everybody can use it if they think it will be faster.

you cant alter the minimum fuel, mandatory pit = 1L of fuel, thats it.. no changing.
so that answers that question lol

I don't mind enabling it however I would be concerned to do this on a proper event rather than a test race. If someone gets disqualified by the game for not taking a stop I wonder what our import script will make of it.

We do seem to be making things more complicated than it needs to be! I understood the min of 1L to take on, was to make people pit in the GTR2 days. It forces you to visit the pits.

Not sure 1L counts as a splash and dash, more like a stop and go But no need to complicate it or straight jacket strategies so will just the leave the rule as it is:- Mandatory stop for a minimum 1L fuel and/or tyres. No stop on last lap permitted.

got back from watching the Endurance race at Silverstone I had to jump on and put more laps in. 3secs off the fastest seems to be where I am at at most tracks so reasonably pleased. Cars setup a lot better than what it was, back end isn't so loose, front as ever could do with something but not sure what now.

Which car? Do you want to drive together for find some improvements on drive and setup? 3 seconds are too much for everyone. In my team, I try to help some drivers and yesterday for example a driver switched from seven seconds to two seconds.

Interesting watching the real race where the commentators stated that the Front engine Merc is the strongest at Silverstone over the mid&rear engine cars. Still the Huracan goes like stink here too! Not done a lap in my porker yet :'( will do some early laps this eve then a proper sesh tomorrow hopefully. I see Gavino and Chris are duking it out on stracker, closely followed by Jeff and Maikel..said it will get fierce up front . I'll be aiming to do a 'Force India' and be top end of the plebs

I had to go for a quali lap to get somewhere near the front. I find the Nissan abit dissappionting in pace, thats why I was thinking of switching to the Audi when the new one comes out ( as long as its reasonably balanced ). Now I see why the list of BOP Alexey posted had the Nissan at the bottom most of the time.

Whats it doing?, what you want it to do. Might be able to give some pointers. Lol, thanks for the help, all assistance is gratefully received. I'm in the Ferrari Gavino. I guess theres no way of puting mass over the the front, No matter what combination so far i still find that the front end is vague in the slower corners and easily slides. As the tyres wear the balances shifts to the rear slightly as I have to use the power to help rotate the car. I've gone with quite a soft setup to gain the nechanical grip but am hesitant to stiffen up the rear to aide. Though its clear i'm 20Km/h slower in the first corner and Copse corner from the stracker graph. Checking out the graph from stracker shows i'm significantly slower in both the first corner and Copse
