I'm relatively new to the game. What is the premium feature "Fuel corrected tyre grip lap times" and especially how one uses the Seconds/kilogram box?

Thanks.

I dont have the premium feature, but it has something to do with the car weight. For example: if your car is carrying 50kg fuel, it is slower than if it would carry 10kg fuel.

So this is just (approximately) showing you, how fast your car would be with very little (I dont know how much) fuel at a certain tyre grip level.

I think you could also change the value of the time in seconds lost per kg. But I would leave it as preset for the beginning.

spend some bucks on your favorite text based online race manager and motivate Frank to fix the most annoying bugs ;)

The data show the influence of the fuel load, tyre wear .. on the lap time

when you run a long stint you have the best tire performance on the start of the stint but not perfect time laps cause of the extra fuel

with this calculations you can get an impression of the impact of tire wear and extra weight from fuel
In times of limited tire sets (18 for the whole weekend) those data can help to optimize the strategy - something you will find handy once youre car is competitative

ediut: side note - you might want to dump your team cause you made the most common mistake by giving SPONSOR spots to a supplier - suppliers do not pay, without sponsors your team will be broke within a short time -> see Enormous big warning needed to warn new managers from giving sponsorship spots to suppliers

Yes Philip, I will soon, hopefully! Right now I am studying and got no income, so its hard for me to keep my head above the water. But when financial times are better, I will support pitwall for sure. Best online game ever.

And yeah Alex, you should start a new team. You will be bankrupt soon.

The problem is, you signed your suppliers into sponsor slots instead of sponsors.
For example, the best sponsor slot would pay you around 3 million per week. Thats 3*13=39 million per season. Believe me, thats a lot!

I would start again new.

How hard they will be to sign due to the fact that they are an wanted sponsor. Superb = Very Hard; long & terrible = Easy & shorter.
