First of all for a 1-hour race 2 pit stops is not real, the 40 + 20 min , now with the AMG i could do that on Okayama because that track consumed the least fuel, but on other tracks only 2 meds and approx. 2x 100l fuel is the best, therefore the weight of my car is greater than others and i consume more, at Road America more than approx. 6,5 l per lap is the average, so it is not realistic, the weight/ consumption ratio is ridiculous for all. The race can be done with 1 or 2 different strategies, but it is non sense, with 100 % you get the same result and by the way with the tyre degradation the grip doesn't rise so if in normal situation you'd go with meds all the way, with the increased deg. you can't choose the hard because it's even worse than at 100%, so you have to choose the meds (or softs) and still have to pit once or twice which is again, not realistic, there's just no point in upscaling, it's not harder than 100% things, it's  only good for reducing the number of strategies.

Of course fuel consumption doesn't look real, but we have to speed up things in order to simulate somehow what looks like a driver two stints in an endurance race. I doubt a lot of people would be down to participate even in just +2h races. The past 100 rate races here were always the same strategy but even worse, people were just going to the pit to add 1l of fuel when ever they wanted in hard/med tyres. If you come back to this, we all fill up the tank and do the 1l pit.
In the 1h simpit series last time i stumbled on the stream they didn't even go the pit, which removes an element of the race, making the decision exactly when to pit, trying to forsee where you come back in the pack and how you pit entry/exit, etc.. At 200 fuel rate you are forced to pit and actually refuel, but since you are more loaded than you would normally be, to me it makes sense to have a bit less tyre wear.
