Couldn’t find an answer. Is the weight of the fuel simulated in terms of compressing the suspension of the car when running heavier fuel loads and uncompressing it as it’s burned off? Thanks.
can't say as to suspension compressing, but the car does get faster as fuel is used. Have not noticed the car loosing traction, but my testing was done on the oval with the FX-17.
Checked with Devs for you. Yes weight of fuel has the correct effect on suspension. Even the position of the tank is taken into effect (eg on a Porsche you can add fuel to weight the front wheels) 0.71kg per litre
I definitely see the difference after a low-fuel quali lap and when I fill up the whole tank for a race. And it's not just the car that feels heavier, but the rotations are a bit different too (like the rear becomes heavier on front-engined cars).
Weight of fuel is simulated, as well as the position of the fuel tank. For example most Porsches have the tank located between the front wheels, whereas Group 5 tanks are usually slung behind the rear axle.
