Shit, the competition really improved for the second round! My car was 4 seconds faster yet dropped 1 spot in the standings 
Leos and my turbo from the first test were faster with less fuel consumption. Makes u think.
Yikes, a bit more thirsty than expected, but also a bit faster than most others. I guess if I tune back the engine a little and could get a few more laps, then this isnât so bad at all 
If I improve my fuel efficiency just a little bit i should be able to make all the races on just 1 pitstop.
EDIT: @derbayer could we get the graph of time at full throttle vs % chance of engine failure for various engine reliabilities that you had posted in the hockenheim 1000km thread?
My engine is just too eco 
Iâm at the point where Iâm losing power if I run richer, still could easily do the races with 1 stop if it wasnât for the tires. Seems like 0 camber is the way to go 
e: The reliability graph:
I cant get my engine to drink more than 2,39 kg/lap with 12,7:1 air mixture.
Quite happy with progress so far 
I hoped that I have cut enough chamber but sadly thatâs not the case.
Still canât get my head around @Der_Bayerâs times with good consumption and sports tyresâŚ
@Puffster why sports tyres if you use so much fuel long stints are out of question?
a) go 12.5 b) use bigger engine c) use turbo d) are you sure you want that
EDIT: no. 1 is suspiciously lowâŚ

@Der_Bayer Tire wear affects each tire individually, correct? So if the rear wheels lose more grip than the front wheels over time, it could cause a car which was originally neutral to oversteer?
You should be, making very good times, now itâs just the tradeoff of time vs tyre wear
^This! Most of us have the opposite problem 
??? Dunno what you refer to here
The answer will come after next test and comparing those two results.
Changing tires takes shorter time than refilling a completely empty tank, so not emptying it completely can save you several seconds per pit stop. Perhaps not the worst idea
Over/understeer is not updated with tyre wear in the calculations. I just take the smaller grip value of the two axles and this is the factor going into cornering speed reduction, not caring about if the car is over- or understeering.
Number 1 car (66 winner) is low so I call somethingâs fishy
The 50% grip boost for FWD isnât working in this version of brobot yet.

Might need to dial back the engine a little, but beyond that I should be fine on that front. Might need to change to Sport tires and tune from there, trying to stretch it so that I can get either two stops or three stop strategies without too much trouble.
Anyone else notice 84 being a âmagicâ cam setting? I get more power from higher values but the car is slower. It was the same thing on my hockenheim car.

hmm, i got mid 2:12 in my testing though, where did that extra second came from?
and by the look of things, at this rate, i might need 2pits per race. i could dial down the camber, or just go nuts with the 2 pitstop strat and make the most out of it.
The extra time comes from added weight of fuel or due to tire wear.
oh right. fuel weighs. DUHâŚ
