Why These Fuel Modes Matter
Hey, before your next ACC stint, let’s talk fuel modes. Minimum cuts it exact—no extra weight, great for qualy pace. But races shift with traffic or yellows, right? Recommended adds one lap buffer, perfect for most 30-60 min battles. Safe piles on two laps for full formation runs or if you’re chasing longer. Pick based on your session: minimum for hot laps, safe when chaos looms.
Quick Questions?
Where do I spot fuel per lap in ACC? Flip to strategy screen in setup or watch DDU after a few laps—it averages right there.
Race by time but need laps? No sweat, it crunches total laps from your time and pace, plus one extra.
Too many pits showing? Bump tank capacity or drop fuel mode to minimum for fewer stops.
Safe mode always best? Nah, it adds weight—use for endurance, minimum for sprints.
Fuel Modes Side by Side
Avoid These Pitfalls
- Fuel read wrong? Double-check DDU after 5 clean laps, not just one flyer.
- Running dry late? Add formation lap to time input or switch to safe mode.
- Pits off? Tank capacity wrong—peek setup screen or max fill test.
- Lap time too fast? Use practice avg, not your PB, or you’ll calc extra laps.
- Overfueled early? Minimum for short races drops weight, boosts early pace.
