I Can see good points and bad in both arguments , if we went full historic the cars would be very unreliable and fragile and the races long and very tiring, some of us are older than the cars we race but not in as fine a fettle so would really struggle . Going off past races half the field would be out within 10 laps due to contact and the rest may or may not finish depending upon how they nurse the car , all that sounds pretty boring for my tastes . I like tight close in racing that gets the heart pumping , if we have to loose some of the historic accuracy to get this so what , we do this for fun .
The fuel multiplier and pitstops add another dimension to the racing which hopefully will bring closer racing , a good strategy may bring a slower driver up the field or drop a faster driver down , it brings a level of uncertainty to the racing . On the BT20 being fuel heavy doesnt affect the tyre wear greatly , but , what it does do is make the tyres overheat quicker and loose grip , managing that is going to be the major challenge for us in this season .
