I think this season has had two turning points that brought us Eve drivers to be less competitive:
- First was the release of the winged spark which resulted in spark drivers to be more than a second faster in many tracks.
- Second was the unexplained change somewhere in mid season to go from x5 fuel to x1 fuel. When we drove x5 fuel we started races with heavier cars. Cars went lighter for mid race and after pitstop cars went back to be heavy. In this heavy to light situations I felt the Eve to be a little more cometitive than the spark.
Also this x5 fuel system brought to have to preplan pit strategies more seriously as you had to study heavy vs. light lap times, calculate different pitting time depending on the fuel you were about to refill compare to the laptimes you would achieve in that situation. I think this helped the drivers who worked harder in planning pit strategies.
