Thread: Rookie Question on BATracer Race Fuel

Being a rookie sux. Most of my questions are stupid ones. I figure I might not be the only one so post your stupid rookie questions here with mine.

***My first question is, is fuel a part of the BATracer strategy? What I mean is has anyone run out of fuel, and what types of lap distances can you go on fuel? I was under the impression that you would need to factor that in but it seems that it more about the tire distance. I would love to make a 1 stop on hard tires in every race if fuel isn't a factor. Thanks

Thanks!! That might just change my strategy significantly. I had been using the current F1 rules in my decisions. I was setting up based on the required use of both hard and soft tires in a race and figured in fuel. I've since stopped with the tire thing. I've run all softs, all hards etc. I maay just run another 1 stopper in my next F1 race.

1 stoppers in F1 2007 usually don't work. The time penalty for you with running on heavy fuel load is too hard. 2 stoppers are the way to go and sometimes even 3 stoppers.

So I'm looking at my setup and I'm wondering.....What is low medium and high as far as the sliders. I was thinking on a 1-100 scale that medium would be 50 but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Now, If something doesn't go right for me soon in ANY of my games, I think I might just go postal... BATRacer and I aren't getting along very well lately.

I've noticed that medium is a HUGE range. I haven't been doing all that great. I was up into p2 in champ b4 falling way back. Maybe it was A1GP

I start doing those "medium" setups in range of 40-60, depending on the track and weather conditions. Most important thing when doing setups is to do them systematically, recommended style is to narrow them in units of 16-8-4-2. So if you start at 40 and advice is to increase setting, then you move the slider up by 16 or 8 units. When you hit the value of 70 and advice is still to increase, then it might be wise to use 4 or 2 unit step coz it will be at "high" value soon.

If you really wanna rock, I can sell you a book "how to become a ultimate batracer" for meager price of 100$
