Tried it. It works, although I think now I have to set this up whenever I
change the racetrack or
I have to choose a value high enough for all racetracks.

A funny thing: Those berniw driver still try to run into the pits at the
same point during the race although
they don't run out of fuel. They don't actually refuel, they just stop for a
short moment, so have to go back into the pits
the next lap. They do this even at the end of the last lap instead of just
finishing.
Very stupid behaviour.

Would this take into account the different racetracks? So I don't have to
play
with the fuel too often?
