    I played on the newest patch today, and for some reason I wasn't able to adjust the amount of fuel to be put into my car during a pit stop (after the race had started). Also, after completing the far-too-long pitstop, I got a drive-through penalty (perhaps for pit lane speeding?) despite having the Auto pit stop on. I felt like the game let me accelerate too early (Brands Hatch)

    Same for me on Oulton Park racing the MCR
    60 min race. Est laps 41
    Start-full tank+ 1 stop for fresh tyres with no fuel chosen (intended on choosing how much i needed on track), 27 laps according to the setup menu. Pit on 29 for tyres and damage repair. DynHud fuel widget says only a few laps of fuel left. No option to add fuel before or during pit stop. I pit in and the pit crew change tyres and repair the car, no additional fuel added to finish the race.


    This is what I see (fuel option missing at the top):

    Same problem for me with the Ultima at brands hatch. I noticed it in practice and checked it during qualify and during the race and it never showed up

    Is anyone else getting this problem?

    I dont want to have to resort to race lengths based on the maximum allowance for a full tank
    Eg: Start full tank-No stop (and match lap amount to what a full tank will actually do tested using fuel widget in free practise)

    I did some testing and for me at least it seems like the brit pack cars are the only ones effected. All the non brit pack cars show and allow fuel adjustment just fine for me.

    Team? Is this known and can you make a hotfix for it?

    I know that some classes, like Formula 3, simply don't allow refueling. Maybe there's a way to edit something to enable it. I'll keep looking later...

    The F3`s refuel just fine, at least prior to the patch!
    Haven`t tested if after yet!

    Hmm. Do you happen to know if the Formula Classic now allows mid-race refueling? (Or I can check later myself...)

    In 1988 Formula 1, cars couldn't refuel and that's how it was in Stock Car Extreme. Formula 3 was the same way—no race refuel in real life and no race refuel in Stock Car Extreme. Maybe they've changed all of that in Automobilista.

    I just checked Formula Classic and Formula Extreme—neither of which allow(ed) mid-race refueling in real life—and AMS also prevents race refueling.

    Real Formula 3 doesn't allow refueling, but you can now refuel F3 in a race in AMS. I don't know if real Brit Pack series' allow refueling.

    Either way, though, Reiza has set some car series' to allow refueling and others to disallow refueling. Whether the Brit Pack refueling situation is intentional or not, it's not really a bug. It's a feature that is applied, either appropriately or not.

    The new cars indeed have some incorrect pit menu settings. This has been corrected and will be fixed in the next update.
