That was kind of what I remembered too…thank you for the answer!
Yes, that’s the way it works!
Trying to setup the strategy and this weather is really pain in the ass being at interns/slick limit. Right now I really wish for the option change compound only on regular stop. This sort of ruins the one stop wish I had… on the other hand, I’m playing with the thought of risking it with slicks.
@Der_Bayer does error chance increase if you are on slicks in the rain?
Error chance increases with lower grip. Being on slicks in average rain means lower grip than being on inters.

Well, I chose the worst time to buy a new pc, all my automation stuff is sitting behind me on the old pc.
Still, glad I made such a simple pit strategy, it carries over anyway and as long as my 6L V8 decides to hang together this time all will be good! (I removed .6 reliability to make it 29.4 and it goes and bites me on the backside first race out!).
My thanks go to my virtual driver who managed to blitz about .6 seconds off his time to get the Bamford somewhere near the front of the grid!

Not wanting to give away too much, but still wanted to show off the pit calculator I am working on to (hopefully) bring me great success for the rest of the season. Still got some work to do to implement the “Replace Regular Stop %” and clean up some of the formulas, but I think I have all the math pretty close.

Mine is exactly like that but not nearly as well done or organized.
If you take yours, print it, eat it, wait a minute, then bring it back up.
That’s what mine looks like.

Thats some detailed planning there 
I just have an idea in my head of how it should go, and have a screenshot of the brctool values filled in so I don’t forget it. Whenever I think I could do something better, a new screenshot is made.
But in the end, the weather will fuck up anyways

That weather… totally messing with my head.
My planning goes as follows: see how many laps I did in the tests,find out how many % of the race that equates to, see the minimum number of pits necessary, distribute said pits evenly. That’s about it.
Since this time each tank can do 25,3% of the race, I just set up a simple and risky 3-stop strategy, with stops at 25/50/75% of the race and with no unscheduled stops. Let’s see how that goes.

I made a comparison between the forecast and actual track humidity from the last race:
NOTE: RAIN and HUMIDITY are not the same thing! Also the resolution isn’t the best.
Edit: Corrected x - axis
Schack Racing employed some weathermen for next races. We also fired the genius who made the mistake to make the car pit at 5% tyre wear.

Hmmm… just to let you know: the x axis is wrong. It should show minutes. Forecast is in minutes and you cannot translate that to race distance in %, as you don’t know the actual pace.
I too use a terribly inefficient and messy spreadsheet that allows me to calculate…

So is anyone planning a one stop this weekend? The weather sure is making it difficult to stick to my ideal strategy!
One stop. Wish me luck.

I’m still gaining courage for 1 stop… I do not fear the weather. I fear unexpected events. More pitstops you have, less you are affected by crashes, SC, weather spikes…
Of course, it’s a diesel, no stop should be a valid option
