Yeah but the problem with that is that all it does is double our pitstops. Anyone who wants to use a sprint tactic won't be able to as they will now be pitting 3/4 times in the race as opposed to just twice with normal tyre wear.sorry for the loss david
On the fuel front. You should not have longer race but there is a 2x option for tire wear that would push driver to go to the pits in a 1 hour race.
For example: Let's say with normal tyre wear on someone wants to run a no stop strategy and someone wants to run a 2 stop strategy. If pitting takes 30 seconds (completely random number, could be less or more time depending on track), the person doing the sprint strategy spends 60 seconds in the pits, while the person doing the normal strategy spends 0 seconds.
If you double tyre wear and as a result the amount of pits we do, the person doing the sprints now has to pit 4 times which equals 120 seconds. Person running an endurance strategy now has to stop maybe 1 time, so they spend 30 seconds in the pits.
Difference in time spent in the pits with normal wear is 60 seconds on normal, 90 seconds with double tyre wear, giving the endurance strategy a massive advantage.
