It had 51% left after 10, my tyres will be fine they have still got 18% left and I only need another 3 laps. It is my fuel that is extremely close with only 6% left.
yeah the fuel is looking tight, but temps are coming down, tyres are struggling now, its a coin toss between which will go first. Dammit it looks like the 5 guys in front are on the exact same strat, pit stop race here we go.
Ben I edited the post you quoted., i knew what you meant I was just being unclear in my reply. Good luck Matt!
well i made it to 20 laps with 83 litres the problem i have is im fueling 81 litres for final stints so hopefully i havnt under fuelled by like 2 litres or something
Stayed out a lap too long, now p17 (back of the snake) and now driver error lol, hope you guys have better luck than that
looks like ill be finishing about 8th but hopefully i few things go my way, ill be finishing with 0 litres
somehow in p7 after a perfect strategy and reliability, if only the driver didn't fall to p19 after lap 1 . Fuel is very tight if this was a real race I would be calmly saying fuel is critical down the radio lol. How you guys going?
Sorry mate, I had pulled an all nighter the day before so I fell asleep during the last part of the race. Woke up 2 hours later with a keyboardface. My fuel and tyre calculations was pretty good but my gamble of strategy didn't work out at all. P23 to finish P19. I will not try that again I don't think. My brakes worn out 10 laps before the finish but It wouldn't have given me more than one place or so.
I feel like the williams team right now =/ I used to be a regular scorer at the beginning of the season but now im sitting mid field all the time. Im also racing in williams colours this season oh well Ive gained some good info ready for next season
Ive done my qualy early. And this one is a test and data search as Im risking the medium tyre as tempratures look cool. I needed some medium tyre data for medium tracks so here was a good oppertunity.
Christian sorry to hear, i think the harder compounds where always gonna be the wrong choice as it was probably over a second slower. because mediums wouldnt have lasted a 1 stopper ur option should have been with the softs, u would have qualified alot better and u would have had the tyres to keep u in contention. good stepping stone though, i really learnt from ur mistakes . what was ur average time compared to the leaders thatll give a good indication El Bando lol williams huh? i think it may be ur driver but i dnt wanna jump the gun. i seem to have the same problem signing new drivers i think will be good only to be average. im tryna compare all my drivers to see why thats the case. the second driver i had had pretty much the same balnce of attributes but maybe 20-30 less in concentration, 50 in talent and 60 in experience and was doing alot better so i had a proper look to see if i can pick up why he was better than the driver i have now who has better attributes and the only thing i could see is that the driver i have now has 0 stamina yet the other driver i had, had 90 stamina so maybe stamina does play a part but couldnt be 100% sure, i think also that we are half way through the season so all the front runners who have had the same drivers will end up with like 100 oa because theyve kept training them gettin better all season while we keep buying drivers and starting them from the begining. i finished 10th in last race, my strategy was perfect but in the last 20 laps my driver was putting in terrible laps and i mean consistantly in 1.40's, slow enough that the 3 stoppers ahead of me pitted with 10 laps to go, fell behind me and was still able to get past me easy even with my risk set at 10 for blocking. the next race is just like melbourneso i will try a 3 stopper to see how much faster my driver does with better tyres and lower fuel with clear track as i will be qualifying alot better, but to have a better understanding of the strategy i wil be comparing the different strategies like for example if a 2 stopper is soft tyres but it is cool enough that the softs will make it a 1 stoppper than a 1 stopper is the way to go and so on. will do my calca soon
hey guys, going for a 3 stopper for this race on the super softs, it is the best strategy I believe, currently p4, fuel will be a bit tricky as always but its always best to put more than little especially after the last race. Good luck all.
