![]() Peugeot 908 - 81 liter tank, 11 laps at Le Mans = 93.159 miles per tank, or 0.869 liters/mile. Nissan GT-R LM - 68 liter tank, 4 laps at Le Mans = 33.876 miles per tank, or 2.007 liters/mile I understand not all cars will consume fuel at the same rate, but look at these numbers. This seems like a bad oversight on Turn10’s part. Unless the car is ultra light (meaning the nose of the car will slam into the ground) I found that this drastically helps me with both cornering and reducing the wear on my front tires.Įdit: Making mandatory pit stops would be a really good solutionįor example, in real life, at Le Mans all modern LMP1’s average 11-12 laps per tank of fuel. Also in most cars I put 10 to 15% more braking power at the rear. Practice your weight control and not overdoing it for endurance races. It’s really simple and easy to follow and some of this you may already do. This video pretty much explains everything here Just don’t pit immediately because of it, just slow down little by little and manage your car. Your lap times should get gradually slower and this is okay and expected. But they are slowing down as well when their tires start wearing out. The AI also had to pit and they will most likely pit at the end of their fuel limits. I knew that I was going to have to pit 3 times in the 2 hour race and there were no and, ifs, or buts about it. It is also important to not just pit because your tires are starting to wear out. I would seriously recommend working on slowing down and focus on reducing your tire wear. The AI also had to stop because of fuel limitations. This was okay because my tires never even reached 70%, I simply needed to stop for gas about every 30 minutes and that was it. My back left tire was taking the brunt of the force due to the course layout and that the tightest curves caused the most wear and other curves were a lot smoother. I finished first in the race but my tire wear was about 20-30% uneven. It was a multi class event for C B A and S class cars. A really really good example is the 2 hour endurance race that I did in my BMW M3 Class A. If you are not seeing this pattern chances are you are driving to aggressively. What you should be seeing is something such as your front left tire and your back 2 tires going yellow around the same time or possibly the front right and the back 2 and so on and so forth. For example, on ovals my front tires usually take the brunt of the grip so slowing the pressure so that they heat up slower can be beneficial as can increasing the pressure for the back tires so that they have similar wear to the front tires and better grip.Īlso expanding on that further you need to take note of how you are driving and this is a very serious issue. Though not common you may need to adjust your tire pressure. If you are constantly hearing screeching noises you are putting some serious wear and tear on your tires and I’d advise to take a less aggressive driving approach. ![]() I recommend not going at 100% in endurance races and instead going for 85% to 90% to reduce the wear on your tires. You must keep this in mind as some cars will have to pit more than others.Īnother thing is the tire wear. ![]() Hi I’m going to go into a brief breakdown to wear and tear on your carsįirstly, you must understand that wear and tear on each car is different and is not the same. ![]()
