Looking at yesterday's stage, that is the way it was.. All of the SxS running open all were top 25 at WP1. Can the cars make it the whole stage? That's 212 miles. Shows the fueling station at WP 6..

Correct. All vehicles that get fuel halfway through stage 2 will show on top of standings because fuel stop extra time has been added in at start.

The question is, how much time was added? 10 minutes? 15 minutes?

I was told 15 minutes yesterday

TOG, can you explain? the organization discount time to Robby due Refueling?

It's like they are beginning the race with a 15 minute time head start, but will lose that time when they fuel up.
