Re: Fuel Consumption

@SexyBrigadeiro I always reduce fuel to half lap more than race distance and never had issue. Noticed Jarno opmeer reduces it to around half lap less than race distance. However if I get to the last lap and runout off fuel it will aggravate me having wasted an hour for nothing. Whereas doesn’t care he only plays my team as a practice tool and not to mention posting videos give him extra cash

    @ScarDuck14You're right, but as I told you, it's been super random to me since my 1st season on MyTeam on F1 22 - it used to be pretty precise throughout all of the seasons on MyTeam on F1 2021..

    I'm very close to having the car fully developed, especially the fuel usage components and then I believe (guess.. hope..) it gets more precise from now on - but even if so, it's kind of a shame that it only gets more precise when your car (or at least this particular component) is more developed.. - I mean..

    I think it should ALWAYS be as precise as possible (once you manually complete all 5 laps of the Race Strategy Program) and the only thing that should variate is the total amount of fuel the game will give you for the races - meaning at the first seasons, with a car that's not too developed, you should have to carry more fuel and then as your car progresses, you'd be able to carry less and less fuel for the same number of laps on future seasons - as it used to be on F1 2021, for example..

    Just to express what I just said using actual numbers & figures:

    Let's say on season 1 you need about 50 L for 30 laps on a certain track..
    And then on season 2, with a more developed car, you'd need about 45 L to complete those same 30 laps on that same track..
    And then less and less fuel, season after season, the more developed your car is, etc, etc, etc..
    But the point is: after doing that program, the game should always calculate and give you the exact total amount of fuel you're gonna need for XX laps, without the player having to save fuel at some point during the race, or even worrying about it at all..

    This used to make more sense until F1 2020, where the player could change the Fuel Mix during the races and then increase of decrease that mix to gain more performance, or to save fuel if necessary.
    Now, the rules don't let you change the fuel mix anymore (except when there's a Safety Car), so the game should always give you the exact and precise amount of fuel you need to complete all the laps without Safety Car and without having to save fuel, etc..

    Anyway.. it seems a lot of people have been getting a lot of different values and fuel loads and all kinds of crazy situations about the fuel, so it seems kind a little bit too random to me and MAYBE this is also another thing that still needs some adjustment in this game..
