I hope that we will see this car back again in a different format.
The consumption was actually the interesting thing for me... not a straightforward half an hour stints with tyre change and refuel... you could have used more tactics... two stopper or save fuel like hell and stop only once. In the last race it turned out to be really close between the two of us... In the penultimate corner of the race you were still in front of me but the finish was the other way around.
I enjoyed this car a lot even tho I only had time to do the last two races.
I wonder what car the next endurance races will have
Yeah man, I really enjoyed the tactical battle between the two of us. I ran out of gas 1 corner to the end, made it to the end on the MGUK.
Truth be told, in the first stint I lost a lot of time bc I was in a 3-way battle (and I made waay too many mistakes)
But when I ran with 2 stops, I was 17 seconds slower than my race one day later with one stop. HOwever, you seemed to have made the two stop almost work
Hope to have these close battles with you again soon. I really enjoyed it

If KERS and DRS was disabled I would have raced it way more I am sure, just turns me right off having to press buttons while driving.
If you pre-set the MGU-K on race, you don't have to press a single button for it.
As for DRS, I had a feeling it helped more reducing fuel consumption a bit, rather than it helped gaining speed. At laguna seca you can't even open your DRS for longer than, say, 3 seconds per lap, as it auto closes as soon as you slightly turn your steering wheel. Same goes with Nords. It'll only work at the backend straight and the start/finish straight (for fuel saving, not a higher top-speed)
As far as pressing buttons during a race: you don't adjust your brake bias at all whilst racing?
