Settings

The SDK Gaming fuel calculator web app is configured using the Fuel component in iRacing Live Timing (Fuel Component):

• Horizon can be set to Lap (no averaging over several laps) or Average (averaging over the number of laps set in the iRacingLiveTiming Settings).
• Calculation can be set to Close to leader (when not too far from the leader in fastest class) or conservative (in all other conditions).

Calculations

• Laps with fuel and Time with fuel display the distance / time left with the current amount of fuel considering displayed fuel consumption without any margin.
• Blue Fuel at end displays the amount of fuel left at the end of a lap limited session without any margin.
• Green Fuel at end displays the amount of fuel left at the end of a time limited session:
  • If calculation is set to Close to leader an additional lap of fuel is added as in the worst case, the race may end when just after the start / finish line.
  • If calculation is set to Conservative 2 additional laps of fuel are added as in the worst case the race may end when the leader just crossed the start / finish line behind you. Therefore the current lap must be ended by the leader to finish the race and you have an additional lap to cover because you are ahead of the leader on track. Conservative mode is super safe and will calculate fuel to end the race in all cases.
• When Fuel at end is displaying negative numbers you will need to refuel to finish the race. If Fuel at end is only slightly negative, fuel saving might be enough to get back to positive Fuel at end.
