Not sure if this is known issue or not, but the software is miscalculating the fuel for Heat-Based League sessions.

I am running in a league that uses the Heat format in order to have the 2 races. Main race is the 1st one, 40 minutes with one pitstop, and the second one has an inverted grid, 25 minutes, no pitstop needed.

What happens is that iRacing/Crew Chief does not detect the 1st Heat - 40 minutes as a time-based race, and considers the race as having 99 laps. So, when you enter for the pitstop, on auto-refuel, it will always completely refuel the car, instead of only adding the amount needed to complete de 40 minutes.

I don't believe this is an iRacing issue, as there are other softwares who report the fuel needed to end the race correctly in this scenario.

I encountered this exact issue yesterday. It would be great if you could set CC to default to timed race or laps race to overcome the heat race issue. Or is there an alternative work around?
