Pit stops

Hi, I'm new here, so if this has been done to death before, please forgive me.

The one thing that I've been waiting to see ever since the original F1GP game is....(drum roll).....scaled pit stops.

Ok. I'll explain what I mean: If a 100% race distance is 50 laps (to keep the sums easy) and your car holds enough fuel for 30 laps, you have to stop at least once during the race.
I'd like to see the size of the car fuel tanks change proportionally with the race distance, so for a 10 lap race, your car would only hold enough fuel for 6 laps, so you still gotta stop once. I'd also like to see tyres "going off" proportionally sooner too, again for pitstop reasons.

This would mean that even in a 10 lap race you'd still get all the frenzy of drivers in and out of the pits in the "pitstop window" of the race.

I mean, be honest, it's not often that you race a 100% race distance race, is it? but it'd be fun to NEED to come in for tyres and juice all the same.

Hope somebody from Microprose is reading this

I think you could do that using an editor for GP3/GP3 2000

LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Do I detect a hint of cynisicm there?

yeah, but you'd have to adjust it again and again every time you made a race a different length wouldn't you?

To be honest I haven't really messed with GP3 too much yet, I just played it as it was.

LOL well your playing a game that has *&^$^*^)%(% cars. GO GET RH CARS RIGHT NOW I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!

ITS A LIVE OR DIE THING!!!

really, it is, isn`t it............................................?

btw I find 50% distance good, cos its not too long, and you get the whole strategy being implemented.
