Interesting. The only way you could beat Alex is on fuel and that was tough considering you both were using the same amounts. Really close racing. Nice to have the dashboard so you can follow the progress of the race. Mike M.
I think it is a bit more nuanced than that. Alex 720 is glued to the track: it is a combination of good tyres, low riding height caused by low rear tyres increasing the effect of the magna traction from the motor. The net result is that his car is slow at the start because of the fuel sim. Once the fuel is at around 40% left in the tank, his car comes alive and can go down to 5.5s laps while my car is still lapping at 5.7. His fuel consumption is higher, he needs to refuel before me (I still have 10% of fuel in the tank when he is out). Looking at this race, he was lucky that when he was in the pit there were two crashes, he managed to get a free repair and refuel. I did not have that luxury so I had to go out with only 1 damage point left. More than half of my crashes were caused by others pushing or nudging my car out of the slot. Racing is close and luck is playing a huge role now.
