    Hey guys,
    I wanted you to inform about a critical bug. We recognized today that you can save a setup in a session of your decision with only 1L fuel. Then you go back to leaderboards and load the setup. The fuel is still locked but now on 1L. As there is no fuel usage you will drive the car always on lowest possible fuel. You can see this at Monza FR2 both leaderboards P1 and P2 times are driven with 1L. It's not on the possible maximum. These times would have been possible with more then 1L. But you can go for 1:30.x without a doubt.

    I was wondering if this is coincidence that i have exactly same amount of fuel that is in my setup for race :p So that would mean i can find around 1 sec :)

    @PataBinat
    Devs have been informed and will no doubt look into this, chances are that the bug will be resolved in a future update and the leaderboards wiped.
    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, as a tester it wasn't something I personally was aware of being able to do (can't vouch for my fellow testers) but, I'll make sure to incorporate this into all future testing.
    Thanks again.

    @Ronin_GTDave @PataBinat Can confirm, that it indeed works that way. Or I became an alien in last few hours (actually i tried identical setup with more fuel - as expected, couln't keep up with ghost car).

    I think there are two ways to go, default setups, and a default amount fuel or open setups with a default fuel load.

    I guess the last option should be the way to go...
