During races u can look at how much fuel you will have left after all 30 odd laps have been completed just as the tyre wear and all that. I notice that when I short shift I gain a lap of fuel every 10 laps or so, I try to take myself down to 'Optimal'.
I drive Mercedes on legendary and have not experienced any issues. What assists are you using and as shaun asked what fuel strategy?
I'll try normal and see what happens, default was agressive for me.
I have only a few hours total time in game. I'll figure out the fuel conservation in time. I just did not realize that the 58 lap fuel load was a misnomer.
For example: +1 Lap means that you could drive another lap 'after' the race has finished. 'Optimal' means you will run out on the finish line/just after race. Finally any - # Lap is how many laps early you will run out.
Once you bring up this menu I think you will find it a lot easier to manage the fuel. As you said with the 58 laps on board, this means how much your car will weigh and perform, not actually how much fuel is in your car. Codemasters has kind of screwd up some aspects of the car setup utility/feature. Just experiment with some setups or bring up the GUI menu.
My question now is; If I go with Agressive fuel load out, making the car lighter and faster, will it balance out my sector/lap times when I lose power during the time I have to use Mix 1 ?
Conversely what if I go Cautious and run on Mix 3 for a while ? I know the extra fuel weight will slow my times down and add tyre wear, but would that loss be compensated by running a significant portion on Mix 3 ?
Of course mix3 will always improve your laptimes regardless of the fuel load, but watch out for wheelspin.
Starting with agressive mode doesn't force you in to using mix1 during the race. You just start with no extra fuel.
So AGRESSIVE will set you up with OPTIMAL displayed on the HUD, so you will make it to the finish without having to change the mix (assuming you dont drive on high revs or drive on AUTO Gearbox-definitely not recommended as it slows you down massively).
Note: Due to Codemasters Tyre Wear system, enabling Mix 3 will increase the amount of tyre wear gained from just normal racing (Excluding wheelspin and drifting out of corners). This is the same with mix 1, it lowers the tyre wear gained slightly so you could use this to your advantage alongside your fuel management.
