Nice one Clive , though you say you didn't have enough gas you sure made up for it in the report
BTW How do you know how much fuel you have left ?
Haha, I was just about to ask the same after reading Evil's report!
Something I have discovered only recently with the newer version of Prib.
At the bottom right of the screen ( at least it is on my monitor) ii shows the amount of fuel remaining.
Let us assume that it is a 45 lap race. The first 5 laps are frantic and your concentration is fully upon the cars around you. At the 40 laps to go point you are in clear air and can spare the half a second to glance at the fuel left in the tank as you cross the S/F line. Check the fuel level maybe 2 laps later, and if you have more than 20x what has been used then you are OK. I discovered that I was probably going to be approx 1-2 laps short, probably because I had been using max revs in the early battle.
By short shifting and trying to carry more speed through the corners I made up the difference I needed and fortunately, because I had a healthy lead I was able to back off in the later laps and come home with some spare fuel. At the time that Hristo was closing in I had calculated that I had just enough to reach the end of the race but if I started pushing hard to stay ahead of Hristo I was in danger of not finishing, so I had to try and concentrate on ultra smooth driving to maintain the pace.
