Car Suddenly Breaks Down [no acceleration]

So I’ve noticed that my car would breakdown near the end of 1st Goliath lap.

Car: Ford Mustang Boss 302 Horizon Edition

Breakdown point: 4 minutes before the first lap ends (near ship wreck area)

Car Damage: Simulation with some dents, nothing major.

Transmission: Automatic

I’ve noticed that near the end I am no longer able to accelerate. I am able to break but can’t reverse or accelerate. The car completely stalls with no engine rev. This has happened twice and almost at the same point of the map [right after crossing the bridge over the ship wreck area]

Why is this happening? Is it because of simulation car damage? If so, why does the car breakdown without any major damage to the car?

Run out of fuel.

What?! There is fueling involved? How do I refuel, especially on a circuit race while the computer keeps on trucking?

Does sound like that lol

Need to pull into a servo and fill up

Ok - just saw the edit.

So uhm, considering English is not my first language - are you referring to a service station? Like a Petrol pump?

Again - where do I find one on Goliath?

And honestly this is stupid if computer doesn’t have to refuel as well.

No was joking
Need to choose a car that wont run out if you are going to use similation

Many cars will run out of fuel if you do more than 1 lap of Goliath with simulation damage on.

Do only 1 lap at a time, or change simulation damage to cosmetic only.

Wait there is cars can run out of fuel in FH3?

Well, I think it’s great to have fuel beeing a thing…but it’s not well thought through…no pits, no fuelstations…

Thank you guys.

I like the idea of Fuel running out but either keep this feature off on races or have everyone do a pitstop (AI inclusive). But considering how AI doesnt even need to follow the checkpoints, i doubt they’d bother stopping for fuel lol.

Fueling in free roam is a fun idea - if implemented properly… also is there a fuel gauge? I haven’t noticed one…

And yes - on the difficulty menu, they should explicitly mention that fuel is limited too.

Guess I’ll be playing with no car damage - kinda sucks loosing the bonus on Goliath.

-double post-

The only way to see how much fuel you have is changing to the first person camera, and there you can see the fuel left. I think they should at least add a fuel gauge.

Does the car get refuelled before races or does fuel level carry over from free roam?
