I was very happy to read this, and to get your experiences on the AMD Black Series.
Regarding the AMG Black Series at Sardina. I tested to do "Full Upgrade".
First I wonder if you include the weight reductions in that?
I did include the weight reductions. And I did run on FM6. But I believe I only got 4 laps on one fuel tank, which means 4 stints and 3 stops. So I was not able to do it with 2 stops.
Or maybe there is something else that could be the difference that I am not thinking about?
(I am running the automatic gearbox, if that could be part of the difference. But it did not feel close to me to be able to get 5 laps on a fuel tank, and be able to do two stops)
The ultimate strategy for fuel saving is early shifting.
It’s worth testing out a manual box, especially on Sarthe, as there are plenty of straights and time to think about gears etc prior to reaching the corner.
