Car ran out of fuel

I was playing Project CARS 2, and I ran out of fuel during private testing. All that happened was that my car stopped working.

If this were to happen in real life, the car would be towed back to the garage and refueled.

Is there anything I can do when I run out of fuel in endurance races, apart from quitting or restarting the session?

Solution 1:

Watching this video, it appears when you run out of fuel, your car will attempt to restart itself after coming to a stop. Eventually though, you get taken to the pits, and you get disqualified. At that point, it looks like you have to end the race.

I'm not sure how the rules in real life races are, but it looks like you don't want to run out of gas in this game, since you essentially forfeit.
