Front Tire Wear, Damage, Rear Tire Wear.
Driver fatigue is the little blue bar by the car’s number.
Speaking of which. Can my numbers be made white on the blue background? Black on blue is almost impossible to see.
Very interesting practice. The speed of the cars is amazing.
For my own cars, I am confused why my second car is shown as only doing 13 laps when it actually ran out of fuel on lap 17.

Did it start later? It could be that the leaders of the practice had been doing 4 laps when you started. My cars started 12 minutes after the start, which is about 6 laps, for example.
I actually have underestimated my fuel consumption. Did the whole 20 laps with 0.2 liters to spare. Also the ehm… let’s call them “joker cars” (as in ones that were entered without much consideration that an endurance race might be longer than 1 lap), have mixed the field up quite a bit, so retrieving data that I could use is now also more complicated.
I was really happy with the tire wear on my N/A car. It’s lap times only fell off ~1 sec. by the end of the 20 lap run which was almost a full fuel run. I only had a few Kg left and I was burning 3.75 Kg/Lap.
My turbo car was really thirsty, and not much quicker, although I was no where near the weight limit. I could lose another 300 Lbs. and still be within the rules, so it may be something to tinker with in a new model. Using the same car body definitely didn’t work out well.
Do we know how long a full pit cycle will take? Like entry, plus pit stop standard pit stop (we can come up with a range here for a better estimate), plus pit exit? I really want to know how much time a car will lose in the simulation from stops alone. I can’t keep up and be economical, so we need to know where the line exists. If I was 8.5s/lap slower I need my fastest competitors to lose at least 170s/20 lap cycle in a worst case scenario (likely less since my car holds up well on tires).
If the pit stop cycle is fast enough, there is no hope in beating faster cars by staying out.
Assuming you’re refilling the entire tank, fuel is probably the limiting factor for time in box - rules image said 3 kg/s refill. As for pit entry/exit, my 1966 estimate was 15 seconds.
My cars work as intended.
1 fast car which does allright.
1 very slow car that will only need a handful of stops. Less then 3% tire-wear at the end.
Congrats everyone, that was quite fun to watch.
… 37.72kg a lap… … Hnnnggg…
Yeah AirJordan you may have me beat for the top laptime, I doubt I’ll get it quicker by fixing this.
Holy crap, that means ever 2 laps, I’d need to sit in the pits for 24 seconds just to put the fuel back in!
So really, you can say it is actually probably the slowest car on the track, even though it looks like one of the fastest.
Really happy with my NA car however, low fuel use, respectable time. Need to reduce the rear tyre wear though…
I wouldn’t mind seeing the top speeds we reached, I fell like I at least wasn’t getting as high as I expected.
I think the ones to watch are BobWiley, Leo, Mattmr2 and Marcus.
HOLY CRAP, GenJeft. That tyre wear. That’s less than my 2 lap wonder used. Wow.
Hey guys first time, I’ve built A car I’m fairly happy with, but I have a couple of questions,
Is there a drafting mechanic?
and could someone explain race strategy within the BRC Submisson Tool to me?
Thanks in advance and can’t wait to compete! 
Yes, there is drafting.
Have you read the readme.txt coming with the tool? Please do so and then ask specific questions when something remains unclear.
I stand corrected, side note, is there anyway to delete my post?
Yes, it is allowed, it was built now because of the BRC 
Pyrlix, add it to HQ essentials 
And with that, I may finally have a car competing for top 10!
apprently my car is going to need 12 pit stops, Wow! The dang thing only weights 1000kg. I wonder if I messed up the math…
How do we find our tank size? I see it says 10*footprint, but what exactly is the footprint
there is a post on how to calc it
here: viewtopic.php?p=93516#p93516
And THANK YOU; your post let me see my error in my math. I did fotprint x7 not x10. It’s really only 8 pit stops I need.
Also how are people estimating tire ware?
There is an upside to my ignorance after all!!! 
According to my calculation, I can hold 22.676 gallons (103 liters). If that is true, as I get 12.9 miles per gallon (18.1L/100km), I would get 292.5 miles per tank (470.73).
Does this all seem correct?
Also how long is the track? I’m trying to see how many laps a full tank would last on average.

On the first page, Der Bayer added a .csv file that will show you your fuel consumption per lap. the race will be around 5.5 - 6 hours long from what I have heard so you can figure out your fuel needs based on your average lap time and fuel used per lap. I will be making between 12 and 14 pits for example.
