It almost looked like there was lag. Charly jumped at least a cars width in the radar quicker than i would expect. As well as them not trying the same shenanigans when given the opportunity just a moment later. Good racing!
This race reminds me of life, really. Just at your moment of zenith, and the planets and universe are aligned, the rug flies out from under you. Then the music they play in game shows when you lose invades your ears, and your mouth hangs open a bit. Made for a good video, though. Fun as always Flash.
@@Dave062YT yeah exactly. I had a plan and for a ruined it. How did they know lmfao. Honestly I did the maths after the race. I needed 20 laps of fuel for 30 minutes at 1.23 a lap on average. Crazy how far off their own calculations the game was lol
20 laps of fuel never would have made it. I think I did 20 laps in the first half lol. Bearing in mind when I entered the pit I had a quarter of a tank remaining at least. So assuming that, adding fuel to be around 60 odd percent seemed kinda right at the time
@Flash Motorsport that's why personally I always run with a full tank of fuel at the start of the race so i don't have worry about running out of fuel, plus i like to test the Car's fuel consumption mid race anyway.
I've noticed that on a few cars. The calculation is incorrect. Always used to go down to the wire on fuel, where I'd have maybe 0.5-1.5% of fuel remaining. Did a race with a group in a C class Ginetta G40 Junior, and ended up being 1/4 of a lap short (ran out of fuel going UPHILL so naturally I was done for.) After that, I've always filled up to 100% on pit stops.. Even if I'm running a timed race, I end up going doing 100% when I pit regardless of how many laps remaining it says. I'd rather have a few tenths off my laps and not run out of fuel. What a shame though, to get that far and fall short.
Oooo really. Ha I have had the total opposite where I usually ended up with a good few laps worth of fuel left over. Enough to get me home after work lmfao. Yeah that’s fair. And a lesson I learned the hard way lol. Yeah I know. 3 mins left. Brutal lol. I was racing with hp (he was in the levorg). He was laughing his socks off at me. Couldn’t Believe it.
I personally really like endurance but as you said svery small lobbies and very fragile egos make me not want to try them anymore. Saying this as i had a 3h community endurance just last saturday
@@Flashms i can only suggest it as we all also were in a call together and it was so much fun. Also dropping out isnt too bad, last time we did it on Nürburgring also nearly 3h and there i think like 6 people dropped out because of different reasons. When Bathurst comes around the next 2.4h are already planned
@mrsnoopy7557 yeah that’s fair. I mean we have done a 2 hour endurance touring car race. IIRC it was at Le Mans. Safe to say I was a little sore after lol. Need a new chair and I was on a wheel lol. Ring after 1 hour is enough for me. It’s such a demanding track. Barthurst is going to be awesome though I must say. I am excited for that.
@@Flashms i also have nearly all of the footage from my POV which especially last time on Sunset was very nice. If you want i can give you the discord we did this on
@mrsnoopy7557 as awesome as that sound. I would love to. But I. Do not have the free time to be able to commit. If you are part of my discord. Please DM me the details bud. I would be more than happy to join
Brands hatch is always a good time for me, used to hate it years ago, but for some reason I love it now, just the right number of turns, perfect length, good mix of slow, fast and medium speed turns, tricky turns and easy turns, and good elevation change
Exactly. I love the latter section where you can really send it over the kerbs and If you are brave you can just about make it 70 percent of the time lol
not sure what was funnier, you when it clicked about the fuel or how long it took between us to work out how many laps worth of fuel you actually needed to put in
well to be fair i made 96 percent of the race LMFAO it worked that far lmfao. It started of as confusion first, like i was doubting myself, then i was like NAH forza is wrong lol. End of the race i did all the maths and it was well off. Hope you are well my friend :D
I think the lap 1 thing was just classic forza glue Bad Karma for using the boring 1 stop strategy :P Just kidding, the calculated laprs are based on the calculated lap time that you can see in the fuel meue at the start of the race. Usually youre some seconds faster per lap than calculated (depending on track and setup). Most of the time i do the math wihtin my first stint becaue the in-game fuel calculation is also not accurate. (And that are the two reasons why you had not enough fuel) If i have enogt practice time i use the practice to calculate fuel. Its a bit of a mess in this game compared to sim racing games. Oh in the lost LMP and LMD cars you can see your fastest playtime on the dashboard. I use a 3rd party app for the dashboard and there i can also see my fastest laptime and my actual lap time. And everything that the game puts out.
Yeah it was weird lol Boring. How is that any more boring that constantly stopping for softs lol. More strategy to look after your treat than just to send it. You Strat is boring mine is the best lmfao. Kidding Yeah my best lap overall was a 1.22 but even if that’s is the case. I would still need 21-22 laps of fuel for the final stint. Usually forza over calculates so you have some left over. This time it did not. Even if I was a second or 2 a lap quicker than before. I had a. Extra 2 laps over the estimated fuel. Which should be more than enough for margin of error. Just sucked man. It is like you say a mess. It’s not right. I mean you have no idea how many laps you have done unless you count them or check your lap time. Without using the pause menu. It’s poorly implemented. So much information missing. Oooo really. I didn’t know that. I’ll have to pop in and out if cockpit view then. Thanks for that one. Ha that’s awesome bud. I have no thirds party stuff like that. Non that i know works with forza anyway
@@Flashms idk why the calculations are so far off in endurance races but it has been way off since they implemented that mode. I use the Sim Dashboard app for Forza. It's not ideal but better than nothing.
@quuatamo8755 ooo really I have never noticed. Ha one tank was always enough as I did gt3 and touring lol. Wow that really sucks. Sim dashboard o i recognise that. I’ll check it out bud thankyou.

@@Jshsprngr yeah exactly. There was some funkiness going on there. Like you I don’t believe it’s Charlie’s fault lol.
Thanks man

Lmfao that’s so funny man. Well said.
It is so true it really is lmfao.
Thanks buddy hope you are well my friend.
Blimey that is fookin ridiculous I'm gutted for you mate ,after a full hour of concentration and perfect tactics .

It recommended 20 laps of fuel on first fuel scene, it’s usually right, laps remaining can be a bit off at times.
20 laps of fuel never would have made it. I think I did 20 laps in the first half lol. Bearing in mind when I entered the pit I had a quarter of a tank remaining at least. So assuming that, adding fuel to be around 60 odd percent seemed kinda right at the time
Keep doin ur thing man, that was a fun race to watch lol :)
thank you, Hope you are well :D
@Flash Motorsport that's why personally I always run with a full tank of fuel at the start of the race so i don't have worry about running out of fuel, plus i like to test the Car's fuel consumption mid race anyway.
The tank was full at the beginning of the race. It’s just a little tank or it’s a little thirsty lmfao.
I've noticed that on a few cars. The calculation is incorrect.

Just came here to tell you pit aint talkin. Stop the pills😁
Lmfao I cannot argue with that. But those pills do make it far more interesting lmfao
Ferrari math! "Flash, we are going to plan Z."
@@reverendbogey we need more alphabets lmfao
This happened to me in Forza motorsport too
@@nightmareedge657 got to love consistency lmao
Yup had this happen 🤣..shafted by the game
Shafted is the right word there lmfao. If the stewards don’t get you it’ll be the pit crew and their use of an abacus instead of a calculator lmfao
Daaamn … that sucks big time …is lifting to save fuel a thing in Forza?
Oh yeah it really does work. So does short shifting and being far more economic is the best way to put it. Really big savings can be had
@ Oh ok thanks , I’ll start implementing that on my next run lol 💯👊🏽🙏🏽
No worries :) all the best
I couldn’t think of anything worse than an hour at brands💀
I oddly really enjoy that track lol

1 year later this shit still dont work.

Sorry for lmao during the video
it is all good lol, I laugh at it, but i was so confused when it happened, i thought i did something wrong
Btw can you recommend a good car for the GT3 series that starts later tonight ?
@@Dave062YT my got to car is the Aston Martin. Great car. Not the faster but really looks after its tires on a long race.
@@Dave062YT i personally like the AMG and also had some nice races with it
That’s a great car too. Forget about that little gem
@7:00mins it wasnt grass, looked like you down shifted too early into 3rd and locked the rear up
Oooo it could be looking back at it. Well spotted
I think the lap 1 thing was just classic forza glue

sad result, but hey it happens sometimes...
Painfully so lol
i thought the recommended was 20 above custom
20 percent above custom hmmmm not heard that one but I think I needed 5-10percent so I can understand a safe point saying 20 lol.
@@Flashms @ 12:45 is says recommended 20 est laps. Which is above the custom option.
I get what you're saying doing it in percentages. Was a killer strategy regardless
Oooo wait I never noticed that. Est 20 laps. But on the right it says 16 laps remaining. Wth lol
This is where I went wrong then. I saw the 20 percent recommended but it said 16 laps remaining so I went middle ground lol
