No fuel warning light

There is a fuel gauge in the bottom of the tachometer, just no fuel level low warning light so you must pay close attention when in endurance race!

the white bar below the gear indicator is your level of fuel

Thank you!!!

I ran out of fuel in the Formula Ford car on the final lap of 8 around Prague. My engine died coming out of the final turn and had to crawl across the line. Since then I have kept an eye on my fuel and have noticed the tanks empty rather quickly. The first pit stop in a V8 Supercar in the real Bathurst 1000 should come around lap 27, the V8 Supercars in FM6 only can do half that.

we can help each other :with an indycar at Daytona oval you have to enter the pits at 18th lap , you run out at 19

Good idea. I have been pitting every 17 laps, because I wasn’t brave enough to see if I could do another lap.

It should be noted that you can conserve fuel in Forza using one of the real strategies race drivers use. If you back off on the accelerator earlier going into a turn and gently apply the accelerator exiting a corner you will save fuel. Also on the Brickyard which is normally full throttle 100% of the time by letting off the accelerator going into turn one and turn three you can save some fuel. I have used these strategies to get an extra lap or two on the track and save a pit stop over long races.

Happened to me during the Road America 200. Had no idea what was happening as first! Car coughed and spluttered, no damage incurred to account for it so I put 2 and 2 together. Thankfully able to limp to pits and my race was saved.

Done the Road America endurance event driving the C7r and had to pit around lap 18. I’ve also noticed you can destroy your tires a lot faster than the previous titles.

There is two ways to handle this.

  1. As people already pointed out, keep an eye on the Fuel meter line of the HUD tachometer below the gear indicator (not the dashboard in cockpit view but the HUD overlay) and judge your remaining fuel by that. It can be tricky especially in races with low lap counts per stint but the indicator is there.

  2. Use cars that have an actual fuel level indicator in the cockpit (labeled “FUEL” or “FUELCONS”. You don’t have to race in cockpit view to make use of this. Instead, use photo mode and zoom in on the fuel level indicator on the finish line of two consecutive laps. The difference will tell you the fuel consumption per lap and you can made an educated guess how many laps you can run or if fuel is enough to do one more lap.
