A strategic element?

I'd prefer enabling actual long term race strategies by having less stupid FCY procedures.

But unless I'm reading it wrong, they reach the energy cap before they run out of fuel, and it takes longer to 'refill' the energy than it does to refuel. So stints are now limited by this arbitrary energy cap, rather than.... you know, running out of fuel.

Although yes, it's all fairly irrelevant with the FCYs.

It does practically set the maximum stint length but in practice stints will probably be 1-2 laps shorter than possible under the megajoule limit.

This also effectively equalises fuel efficiency between the engines. Which might be otherwise harder to control with BoP since air restrictors and boost pressure limits are no longer part of it.

rooftop ray feat. imsa radio hours on peacock

(hopefully we can get a couple hours of no ads, even when TV hasn't been on air they've done interviews & random breaks away from the racing)

edit: LOLNOPE
