This is a common issue with endurance racing against the AI. You need to go into the data folder of the car you are driving (extract the data.acd if no data folder) and open car.ini. At the bottom you need to adjust the Pitstop parameters so your pitstop time for refuel and tyre change is similar to the AI. Look at your replay and watch the AI and time their pitstops. For the 2006 cars I am working on, the AI takes around 10 seconds. Therefore this is how I setup the car.ini so my pitstops will be similar (for a 90 litre tank and likely fill of 80-85 litres):well that didnt end well.. tried to replicate the race from Sebring -64. 54 laps (1/4 of the real race). Tyre weare and fuel x2. After almost 45min I going for the pits and Im in 3rd place. Starting to fill up and the other cars left. 72 sec later I drive out in 15th place.
How do I fix so the AI also needs to stay in pits to refuel? All the cars has the same value in car.ini 0.6sec to fill 1L. Cheers all
[PIT_STOP]
TYRE_CHANGE_TIME_SEC=9 ; time spent to change each tyre
FUEL_LITER_TIME_SEC=0.13 ; time spent to put 1 lt of fuel inside the car
BODY_REPAIR_TIME_SEC=15 ; time spent to repair 10% of body damage
ENGINE_REPAIR_TIME_SEC=2 ; time spent to repair 10% of engine damage
SUSP_REPAIR_TIME_SEC=16 ; time spent to repair 10% of suspension damage
Also check what fuel some of the AI is starting with from your replay. If they are not pitting at all you may need to adjust they fuel_cons.ini in the data folder. Same applies if they don't start with enough fuel and pit too soon.
