Completely disagree and believe that the decision to remove dirty air was great. A couple of examples of this could be races I did in the last two days, qualified around P20 with both cars, but had a faster car and a harder compound. During these races, while I was stuck behind the pack for a couple of laps, after their tyres got below 50% I was able to get by them easily as my tyres were a lot fresher. This update also makes the racing better in my opinion. As a lot of managers saw before this update, it was almost impossible to make a pass without boosting or DRS, but now it’s a lot easier. Also, you say that if the tyres are worn it’s no problem, from my point of view and many other managers it’s the complete opposite. Another thing I find great about this update is it lessens the importance of an overcut. I do agree that now the tyre wear is great. Finally for those of you saying that the beta testers are “bad” or “not smart”, it’s the complete opposite. I know some of the managers volunteering as a beta tester (they aren’t paid) and they are some of the not just best managers I’ve raced, but some of the best on the game.
Totally agree with you. From my pov this is the best update in a year. Racing has become exciting again. On track overtakes are back, tyre management is important again, strategies are way more diverse due to the tyre changes and DRS is useful again.
In comparison to before the update where (with some exceptions obviously) nearly every track was a combination of an S-M or SS-S strategy (adding some more stops depending on race %) and basically every race was a trainfest, I've finally come to enjoy racing again.
