FUEL

BLACK BOX

How much fuel is left, how many laps it lasts and whether you'll reach the flag.

FUEL tells you how much fuel you have, how many laps it lasts and how much you need to finish, with one colour that sums it up: green, amber or red. Per-lap consumption leaves out laps with a stop and odd laps, and if you've already driven that car at that track, it uses what it learned in earlier sessions until it has laps from this one.

What FUEL brings

Customisable

The usual information, in the colours you want.

More at a glance

Data you don't usually get, so you don't have to jump from screen to screen.

The AI reads them

PLIA can read what they show while you drive.

What it does

Tank and laps

Litres or gallons left and how many laps they last.

Clean consumption

Average per lap without pit or refuelling laps, and without odd ones like safety car laps.

What you still need

Laps to go, fuel required including your safety margin, and how much you'll have left over or be short.

Green, amber or red

The colour is set by laps of margin, using thresholds you choose.

Stop on the lap you pick

Set the lap you want to pit on and it tells you how much fuel you need from there to the flag.

What it doesn't do

  • The first laps don't give a settled figure: until it has three valid laps, it marks the number as provisional.
  • It doesn't measure the lap you're on: it only counts completed laps.
