Fuel class question
« on: May 18, 2014, 02:50:39 PM »
OK, so my admittedly soft record was broken by a car running gasoline. someone told me that he paid to switch classes, poured a fuel additive in his tank and then legitimately broke my record.
I didn't know you could do that.
What is the additive?
Why wouldn't I just do that next round?

I believe you could put darn near anything or nothing at all in your gas and run in fuel class.

 I'm confused...Were you running in the gas or fuel class?

In the ECTA if your car qualifies for the gas class you may run fuel with no modifications. You may run up in class not down.

I was running in Fuel, E85
I thought fuel was up from gas, not the other way around. I think I'll switch back to gas if its that easy to switch to fuel.

If someone running in gas class wants to run in fuel they can bc fuel is a harder class. If you have e85 in the tank you can NOT run gas.
