2011 Wear Factor

Post by lepage71 »

Historically, we've rotated the wear factor from year to year. According to the pattern, this season will be 4x. What should we do in 2011?

I like rotating it between 3 and 4 every other year like we do. Keeps it fresh.

Wouldn't 2x sort of take away the fuel run strategies at the current race lengths? not to mention shortening up the race time lengths as far as
actual time on the server?

And if you incur damage, all the longer if you're running slower laps, while trying to ride out your damage until your fuel window.

I'm pretty sure that some douchebag (I use this term here, because it seems that it is widely accepted in this forum, and a much more accurate
term could or would get me terminated) would come trolling along and without warning send me to the pits immediately! So I dont need to worry about that scenario. :ezboardfrowning

I liked the 3x last season.Anything more would wear the tires faster.

Anyone else notice that annoying sound?

Well, we evaluated the polls and determined that, because change is good, we'll continue the rotation from season to season.

That, and we run a tight dictatorship here. ;)

I agree variation is good :), though i think 2x wear would provide some sweet racing.
