Repair without fueling!?

So you know, it is possible to repair without fueling the racecar in Turbo Sliders. I was reading through the README-fuel file and found out that holding down the fire key will repair your car without fueling. Now, this is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve...however.......this opens up the possibility of getting tires with no fuel at the end of the race making fuel strategy worth it again like it used to be.

Thoughts?

Woah that is cool. There must be a key to do the opposite, surely? Tbh if not the only thing possible would be fuel only stops and WHY would you ever do that? You will always at least always want to get the tyres you get basically for free for the amount of fuel you want. So basically, fuel only stops would be worthless anyway unless you can somehow make them much faster. But TYRE only stops - thats fantastic.

I guess in the race videos, when I put the "race off pitlane" I will count 0 tyres as simply taking an amount of fuel or up to one hundred then driving off.

This does completely blow the idea of your "fire to activate the caution" thing outta the window.. but that isn't essential. This is.
