Interesting video - especially the pit limiter bit! On the short-shifting thing, I’m not sure your conclusion that it saves fuel is really accurate. The flow rate of course drops, as you show. But, since you’re accelerating slower, you’re going to be at full throttle for a longer time before you get to your next braking zone. So over the course of a lap (or lap segment), we’d really need to see the area under the curve you show (in the fuel chart), comparing two different laps, one with regular shifting and one with short shifting. Just food for thought, maybe an idea for your next video on this!
I can see your point here, and yes we are thinking of a way to monitor the usage over a "section" of the straight. Fuel is normally measured by fuel over distance, so the straight is the same length you are just using less regardless of time spent driving. for example if you drive at 60 miles for 1 hour you will use more fuel then driving at 30 mph for 2 hours. the distance is the same but you will use less fuel. BUT there will be a video to follow lol 👍👍👍
The pit limiter test. 1st gear, full throttle, 4800rpm is using 27mg/s 6th gear, full throttle, 2000rpm is using 9mg/s (so suggests its the rpm where the fuel is used. logical as you are on a speed limiter) 1st gear, 20% throttle, still 4800 rpm is now 6mg/s (so it does appear to be throttle position) 6th gear, 20% throttle, still 2000rpm is now 3mg/s so throttle position is linked to fuel usage, but more is saved by reducing revs
I think the pit limiter is a bit of a special case tbh. It looks like the more you hit the limiter, the more fuel you waste. The constant intermittent cutting of power causes constant modulation which in turn uses more fuel.
It's a shame that there aren't more races with a bit of fuel strategy. Fuel saving can be fun but if you're not racing endurance (or some ovals) you pretty much never use it. Also really glad you tested the pit limiter, I was going to request it if you didn't cover it.
Yeah I agree! I would love more solo endro too, like lmp3 3hr for example! Glad I covered the pit too! Make 20+ stops in a race it can make a difference
clutch does not work in the GT3s. I’ve used the corvette and one of my mates is in a Ferrari for the spa 24. I don’t think it works in the GT3s. Maybe in another one
Id guess it's available in first gear for those who don't have the anti stall assist so that they can manually prevent the car from stalling. If you watch the clutch trace when moving off, you can see it kick in automatically and bleed off as the car gets up to speed when the anti stall assist is enabled
I can't believe you did this without my extremely accurate and insightful fuel analysis.
Dam you are right!!!! I should have screenshot your comments 😂😂😂

Holy, thank you heaps! Learnt a lot!
You're welcome! 👍👍👍

Yeah, the point is it's not only throttle position, there are a few variables taken into consideration

You should make one about how to be nice to your tires
I have made a note!
thank you for this! nice Verstappen glasses as well 😎
Haha mclaren glasses......
Awesome video - LMdH cars at Daytona next plz!
thank you and noted!

Do the BMW M4 GT3
Nice vid
Thank you! I hope you hit the like button 😅😅
First thing I did 😉
Ohhhh you legend!
Is there a 24 hour race this weekend? :D
what is a 24 hour race?
Is the widget shareable?
Apologies but we are not looking to share it. It's was only made to make this video, and maybe more videos in different cars.
@@Tdi99 Understood. Just thought I'd ask.
@@steelereign Even though you want just this widget, you can always use telemetry. iRacing has the whole guide how to set it up and read it.

Yeah it's more the old cars used to use the clutch and weirdly the clutch worked in the Porsche below 40mph, so I'm guessing there is a reason for it.
Id guess it's available in first gear for those who don't have the anti stall assist so that they can manually prevent the car from stalling.

Pit Limiter ? Ewww brother Ewww, whats thaaaaat...
😂😂😂
