Sorry guys, I don't want to be a spoiler of what was a cool event. But pit stops from race 2 are bugging the dodo outa me. I ended up 21 seconds back of the leader, my pit stop takes 21 seconds. I went into the pits with a 6 second lead over mopy.
Maybe I crashed and don't remember or I took 510 liters to much? Maybe I really should watch the replay before I insert foot. But I don't remember crashing. I do remember having some kick ass racing with a few other drivers.
- Pit Stops
- All drivers shall make at least one pit stop during races #1 & #2. No penalty shall be given for any pit stops made within race #3.
- ALL pit stops shall include the reception of fuel to a 110L capacity.
- NO TIRES may be taken during any pit stop.
- Any pit stops may include the repair of damage.
- Any mandatory pit stop may be initiated anytime after the completion of the 1st racing lap and prior to the beginning of the last racing lap. (ie. It is not permissable for any driver's final lap to be 95% of the track's length.) Early or late pit stops will come with a 5 second time penalty.

@Lessen Let's just stick to Mopar. Mopy doesn't cut it. =)
But heck yeah I was driving like I stole it, that was a very cool race night. And the cars were definitely very close in lap times. Would like to do a similar one next time.
@ONESPACE I noticed you pitted in race #1 very early (lap 2 I think). This got me thinking, why would you do that? My thought was, if you started with 65L of fuel and HAD to get a full tank (110L), it would take less time filling it from 60L-to-110L, then from say 20L-to-110L. This would save you a lot of time in the pits, at the expense of slightly slower lap times overall and a bit more tire wear (more weight in the car, x5 tire wear).
Noting the above idea, I did it in race #2, and I believe you pitted around half way (?) Or so. So while you did have a 6 second lead on me, I had already pitted long ago and saved a bunch of time not needing to fill up those extra gallons.
And since tires were not needing to be changed, pitting half way like usual didn't make sense.
On a side note, the above was just my thinking, for all I know, you could of pitted early due to damage or something.
*Edit*
Going off
@Lessen fuel times note the below.
3.4seconds per 10L of fuel
10L = 3.4s
20L = 6.8s
30L = 10.2s
40L = 13.6s
50L = 17s
60L = 20.4s
70L = 23.8s
80L = 27.2s
If anyone pitted about half way, it took you about an extra 10 seconds to get fuel over myself.
