[Need Info] How much laps for AI to pit with F138

Hi guys!
I need an info: how much laps should I set a race to tempt AI racers to do a pit-stop with F138?
Any circuit. Just tell me the info, if you know it, for any circuit you know it.
(No mods, if possible.)

Thank you!

 

Check the app called Race Fuel Monitor (you might need to enable dev apps), it tells you how many laps the AI has left on fuel.

 

That is a problem. The rules of F1 now dont have refuel. But on Assetto Corsa is possible to refuelling everycar.

 

How is that a problem? Assetto Corsa simulates the specific car, not Formula 1. What if you want to race a very long race? You're free to do so in AC. It's fuel and pit stop strategies that are missing in the sim to allow you to replicate rules like that. Doesn't mean it should restrict cars to these rules even if could set them.

 

But dont have the option to not refuel. The only way to do this is disable fuel comsuption, but this any one have to deal to save fuel.

 

So I should put a race with LOT of laps and check how much fuel AI puts for how many laps?
If, just for example, the app says AI puts 30 laps fuel, then I set a race for 35 laps, can I be sure they do pit stop for just 5 laps left, or it's more probable they just put more fuel to avoid pit stopping?

 

Well. You let them run in qualify or race of any length at least two laps and check the Fuel Monitor app. The FL value tells you how many laps they have left on fuel based on average fuel consumption, FxL how much fuel per lap average. The more laps that app can average the more accurate it gets but after three laps you should have a good picture of how much fuel the AI uses for that track (at least on new tyres).

Then you can go, make a new race weekend and set your maximum lap count, which is for most average F1 tracks somewhere between 50 and 70 laps I think. For very short tracks where the 220L tank would average over 100 laps this of course doesn't work.

Now - the issue with that is that the AI will still pit and set different fuel amounts if the race is long enough, and you will want to pit as well... because of tyres. And for that we'd definitely need pit stop strategies and possibility to set race rules implemented in the game (to prevent automatic refueling). For shorter races it should work however (seemed to work fine for me with 20 laps races). What the AI definitely needs is the qualifying session because without it it cannot determine how much fuel it uses for that circuit and needs for that race. If the AI then still pits way too early, on the last lap or something then it's time for a bug report.
