[USER=505]Bill Boddy[/USER] whats the difference between coming into the pits for a mandatory car change and coming into pits for a mandatory tyre change?They both add a tactical element to the racing which is artificial. As does fitting the cars with smaller fuel tanks so they have to refuel for that matter - and changing drivers in Endurance racing. All things which have been part of motor racing since year jot.The main issue everyone seems to have with the car change is 'its rubbish that the battery life can't do the whole distance'. Well the whole idea of the sport is to push the technology to see if they can get there so lets live with the car changes and see what happens. It less artificial that delib designing tyres that won't last a race distance (Formula E has all endurace all weather tyres by the way).I agree the mandatory pit stop time is some what annoying but safety is safety.
