The pit info dashboard displays important information about your car's fuel consumption,
lap times, and pit stop messages. This screen can be included in the car's dashboard
rotation as described in the
Car Settings page.
Main Text
There are four lines of information displayed on this screen. The first shows
a customizable message. You can set the color and text of this message. It is
intended to display reminders for you when you enter the pits. Perhaps you
need to change diff settings or reset anti-roll bars. Whatever it is a simple
message can be displayed here to remind you. By default this dashboard will be
displayed when you engage the pit limiter. You can change this functionality
by using the Limiter Dash drop down in the
Car
Settings dialog.
The second line shows the amount of fuel remaining in your car. This is displayed
in the units that you have selected for your car (lbs, kg, gallons or liters).
The third and fourth lines display different information depending on the current
session. In a practice session, the third line shows the average fuel consumption
per lap. This will take a few laps before any useful information is displayed, and
will get progressively more accurate with each additional lap. The fourth item shows
the best lap time of the stint.
The final line shows the distance to your pit box from your current location.
Note this is not supported in all sims.
In a race session, the third line will show the amount of fuel required to
finish the race. This is calculated based on your average fuel consumption
per lap and the number of laps remaining in the race. It will take a few laps
to read accurate information, and will become more accurate with each additional
lap. The fourth line displays how much fuel you will need to add at your pit
stop to finish the race. For one stop races this is the amount of fuel required
to finish the race minus the amount currently in your tank. It is recommended
to add a bit more than this amount to prevent you from running out as you cross
the line.
