Hi Guys,
Forgive my writing as this is not my first language.
Its been a very long time since i last visited the forza forums.
The time has come for me to switch from the 360 to the ONE and have aquired the sweet blue Forza console.
I am loving the game and the runaway drivatar giving me a nice challenge from time to time, and only having a bit of trouble on long straight circuits as i am a weight reducing kind of guy instead of the horsepower increase.
Still Here? fine,
I was running a few endurance races and have noticed the fuel consumption on the different cars so i ran a small test.
I took my fully upgraded Veyron to Circuit de la Sarthe with the long straight and have it run up and down a couple of times to see the fuel tank drain.
After a couple straights i ran out of fuel so i pulled up the telemetry to see to my suprise the engine is still idling at a steady 800rpm.
I know that when you downshift there is a small amount of torque coming from the engine and goes through the gearbox to your wheels.
So after coming to a complete stop i was holding down full throttle and started upshifting to 7th gear fast, and down to 1st gear and saw the car starting to move forward.
after getting some speed (80kph) i started to shift fast up and down between 2nd and 3rd i got to a steady 120kph and drove into the pitlane to get me some fresh fuel.
It might save me someday if i run out of fuel in real life
Cheers!
