Hi everyone,
On Wednesdays, SRS will be hosting a new Lancer Evo VIII Time Trial championship. The Mitsubishi is an extremely quick, AWD, turbocharged monster and is lots of fun to drive. Its fuel consumption seems to add an additional tactical dimension to the race. According to my test runs, running at 100% boost will leave you one lap short of the finish line. So be sure to map that turbo increase/decrease button. What will be your approach? Coasting before braking zones? Refuelling? Or decreasing the turbo in technical track sections? I would love to hear your opinions.
Here are the results from 2020: https://www.simracingsystem.com/myracess...d=kby5stmZ
Edit: Well, it appears a pit stop for 7L will add roughly 20s to the finish time, whereas saving fuel ends up being 3s/lap slower (for me) over a 10 lap race. Refuelling, even in a sprint race, is the way to go!
