I have a fun idea but the current fueling system makes it nearly impossible and requires 2D if to be pulled off properly. A No-Refueling league, using lap count to pit and switch tires, however refueling is the only way to control Pitstops atm without live controls.
I think that this has been suggested before, and although it's a nice idea, I don't think it would work in iGP. Re-fueling at the moment is what the strategies are all about. If we had no re-fueling, then we'd just have tyres as a factor, which would mean that everyone would be doing the same strategy, and would be extremely processional.
The only way to have no-refueling is to have tyres similar to the current Pirellis, but then that would mean having to change the suppliers, and then it would only be a matter of time before people worked out just how long the tyres lasted, and what the optimum strategy is. Unless of course, there is a system in which temperature has a huge effect on tyre performance and degradation, like the current F1 season.
Not true, as certain push levels can increase or reduce tire wear, which can easily add/chop a lap from the tires. Some people do not know how to properly manage their tires from race setup, if anything alot of the time, the tire life can vary, especially due to the weather.
This is for free.
Australia Tires
100% to 60% Option has a 7% degradation per lap.
60-40% options has a 5% degradation per lap.
40-20% options has a 4% degradation per lap.
20-0% options has a 4% degradation per lap.
I wouldn't go below the 20% as it's very low grip, but the Option Tire would last 12 laps in Australia.
