Could it be that the GT3 Ferrari has a fuel issue? Example: starting a 10 lap race at Monza with 20 488 GT3, 19 AI and me), qualifying time is 10 minutes/5 laps. Let the qualifying run until the end. Only a few cars (3 races - only 1, 2 and 4 cars !!! are able do set a qualifying time, sunny light cloudy weather, no rain). In the race every car that has set no qualifying time has to do a pit stop for refueling in laps 7-9 When you look at the fuel at start, you see that the cars without qualifying, load ~10% less fuel than the qualified cars. For comparison: 20 McLaren 720 GT3, 18 cars set a qualifying time. The one car which has set no qualifying time loads 5-6% more fuel than the qualified cars. No pitstop from all cars Same with the 2019 Audi: 15 qualified, the 4 non-qualified load 2-4 more fuel, no pitstop from all cars So the question is: why does the Ferrari load to little fuel? Pictures from the results viewer:
oh, and the second question is: why do only a few 488 set a qualifying time at Monza? For comparison Sebring and Silverstone are ok with 16/17 qualified cars (19 AI). Zandvoort 5 out of 19 did qualify , Lime Rock 3 out of 19 - with a mixed GT3 field 19 of 19 qualified
@Lazza Could you reproduce it? btw. same issue with the Ferrari 488 GTE, BMW M8 GTE and C8R GTE - every car that does not set a qualifying time has to pit because of low fuel. Running a full 10 min. practice session changes only the number of cars which do qualify. Monza with 20 BWW M8 GTE: with practice = 16 cars, without practice = 1 car ! Maybe we should ask @Marcel Offermans why he did not complete his qualification and why he starts with not enough fuel?
@Manfredk2 I've only skimmed through AI discussion threads, so you may want to find and check those, but it sounds like you should run a longer practice session so they all do some laps, and if that doesn't cure it then also run a longer qual session to allow full completion. I don't have the Ferrari, but it sounds like usual AI issues anyway - you have to cater for them a bit.
