GPBOC 1 SERVER is up for Monza testing and practice - and updating to the Hotlap server

Hello, I calculated the average consumption to make 18 tours of the race and I noticed that the 21 liters of the reservoir would not make the race.

18 tours = 25 Litres +-

1.4 Litres+- = 1 tours

15 tours = 21 Litres

I so that there is no problem the day of the race

thank you

[Napalm Nick]

Well spotted Yan!

My consumption is only 1.2 L/lap but then I am 4 seconds off your pace lol.

Does a different engine mapping help I wonder. Interesting.....

[Boerenlater]

I use 1.20 per lap.
Just ride slower or take the risk to strand without gas

[Napalm Nick]

well yes - another way is to open the gear ratios - substitute acceleration for fuel.
Innnteresting.....

Don't redline every gear also maybe? This bike has enough power anyway to shift up with 12k-15k rpm.

1.4L / lap the consumption with the full tank of gas is and the consumption reduces more the reservoir empties and on average I consume 1.34L / LAP.

But with a consumption of 1.2L / lap it is not possible to finish the race.
The maximum consumption is of 1.16L / lap to make 18 tours.

I am going to try several configurations so that the consumption is reduced.

Nick I hope you really enforce here to stay inside the lines and not going on the green. (2nd chicane)

[Napalm Nick]

I will lower the amount of laps if needed of course, but I find this very interesting to investigate. Personally I would like to see players working out how to ride a more tactical race rather than the flag to flag sprint races we always do.

As we have already seen, people are noticing the tyres are well worn in the last few laps of the race. All these things make it more interesting and more realistic I think.

I tried a few runs with different engine mapping but as yet I haven't noticed any fuel consumption differences. But the GP10 is odd in that it doesn't allow you to change the EM in the race like you can with other bikes. So....does the EM actually work properly on this bike??

With the help of MaxHUD, races can be so much more detailed - imagine MaxHUD telling you you had 5 laps of fuel left but there is actually 10 laps to go - so you change the EM to help. Awesome.  I know some might say that isn't what you can do on a real race bike but still it would make for some interesting stuff. MaxHUD showing tyre wear would also be awesome - if unrealistic. 

Good work Yan I look forward to reading your results

Everyone knows what is allowed and what isn't I hope. Deliberate cutting is cheating - no excuses.

All claims will be investigated.

To be sure - anyone who doesn't understand the term "track limits" get in touch.

But in real life they also save fuel.

[Vini]

I'd say reduce the amount of laps.


Fuel will not be enough for me and I also noticed that after a few big high speed slides at the long right handers, even the extrahard tyres show significant wear (and heat).

[Boerenlater]

But reduce it not too much, like 16 or 17 is okay for me.
15 too easy on the gas.

This is 10 laps on these tyres.
Extrahard should hold it if you sacrifice maybe some speed?
