Let's discuss our fuel strategies here.

Not necesarily fuel but
From what i did, tires are good for the full tank of fuel...
drop off at the end obviously. Anyone have experience on keeping
the same tires for a double stint like real life? Im guessing
for our purpose the risk of worn tires would outweigh the 10
seconds in time gained?
Anyone have experience with extended tire stints?

never done a double stint with the HPD. What was the % of wear
on the tires?
Did you use equal tire pressures on right and left or was there
more in the right side?
How many laps/time does a full tank equal to?

I've tried to run a tire stress test today, after 11 laps, I was
still in the 99% -100% :-/
It's not like I'm not pushing either. 1:37's and 1:38's.

I think around 30ish laps per tank.. suppose a few more if we
wanted to use a lower engine map to extend the range if tires
are not a problem.. i had i think 1psi less on the left?
whatever the original setup was.
In the end, ill probably just swap tires each tank of fuel.. its
only afew extra seconds in the pits and we would have improved
laptimes anyway from them.

I don'T think double stinting will be worth the time savings but
I could be wrong...
Myself I found after 15 laps with equal pressured tire setup
that the tires on the right are usually only 1%-2% more used
then the left. I'll send a few setups later on today...

I'll be running some full stint testing tonight and will post up
results.
Does anyone know if any of the telemetry programs (iSpeed,
dashmeter) work while you're in team mode and not driving? I
haven't had a chance to look/test that yet (or haven't paid
attention).

What's the optimal tire temp?
I just tried an open practice session and something is
different... Maybe they're simulating a track that already has
rubber on it or something because when I'm in practice sessions,
my breaks don't lock up so easily.
Also, I noticed I ran first 6-7 laps with good pace and after
that dropped off. My tire temps were in high 190's low 200's. I
think tire pressures are equal at 22.0 or 22.5.

I was seeing 200 max, but i dont think im as fast as you
overall... so mine probably had an easier time than yours.. haha
from what i thought, the practice sessions are at the same
temp/humidity as the race? where as the testing you can change
it to what you want.. so that would be a slight difference.

I see... I'll have to take a look at some of the other setups.
