I estimated my cars at ~50 laps a tank @ r1.0 
Im hoping to win the long game on fuel and tires. As I used medium tires.
I see two vehicles that I consider rivals in this race. The DMV Quasar 100 GTR, and the FamWag. We shall see who wins the slugfest of the OHV engines. Other than that Iām not too confident about my chances.
Just looked over the trump cards, Iām shocked that my Battle Wagon is not the least efficient car on the list. Itās a close second, but still surprising.
I used 0.7 for the r value, and I got another 10 minutes or so on top of the calculated time I originally had on a 85kg tank.
Iām just hoping the reduction in camber angle and reduction in wheel spin I made is worth the 0.17 seconds a lap slower Iām going.
I had similar thoughts and I think -0.17 sec on perfect lap provide less profit than the gain from better average lap per stint due to less tyre wear.
My sacrifice was 0.15 sec for 0.1 chamber which I reduced with further suspension tuning to 0.05.
At 13.7l/100km mine is a bit high for the economy cars, but I am hoping it does at least decent on the track time. I donāt know how I wound up with a 60+ engine reliability though. At least I should be able to finish the race.
Over cooled?
Just checked my submission, it was set to just a hair above required.
Edit: I donāt even think I had that much grill available.

Will cars actually run out of fuel in the practice race? Iām assuming that the cars will pit when they donāt have enough fuel to complete the next lap like they did in prior BRC seasons. I thought the running out of fuel aspect was due to cars not pitting in practice sessions.
They will pit I believe. Otherwise it will be really, really funny.

ā¦or frustrating. Depends on how well you ran your numbers.
I donāt recall pitstops during practiseā¦ I believe it will be like first one, once you run out youār done.
Canāt wait to see it and than maybe (hint hint) some sweet Packbatās magic sheets with a lot of fine numbers to crunch.
[color=yellow]Practise Results[/color]
Here are the results of the practise session. Adjust your strategies based on that and only send the updated -Info.lua to me if you want to make adjustments. Using the āenduranceā strategy model is highly recommended for this race.
Make sure to enter the correct player name, especially when running two cars. Else I cannot know for which car your strategy is meant to be. So add a simple ā2ā to your forum name if it is for your second car and enter only your normal forum name (without a ā1ā or something else) if it is for your first car. If you donāt follow this, everything will become a huge mess and I feel not responsible for anything going wrong with your strategy then.
I wonder how many people will not read the previous paragraph. For the future I will really need to add a penalty weight system.

the tense of waiting the youtube to fully digest the video is killing meā¦ and the thought that I will surely wait for HD to be available is unbearable

I really wish i made my car more reliable it looks like i will be competitive but i dont think i will make it to the end of the race before my engine blows.
Both my cars are in the bottom 5 of rear tyrewear, I need to start working on using less then -3 camber apparently. Also, my ecoturd appears to be failing at itās job, apparently it is possible to have too few horses in ecocars 
OK so my fuel usage increased by .96kg per lap since the pre season so my original strategy is gone now. The only change I made is increasing the AFR by .2 which I didnāt expect to have that much of an effect so must be the error with my car for the pre season somehow affected the fuel usage.
Still, i was the fastest person by the end of the practice race with the only people with a better last lap being ones who ran out of fuel very quickly.
