The ones who run hard tires without pitting ruin the spirit of the race for everyone else and it kills any fun being had. I get the idea of “who can hang on to that last lap with 85% tire wear” being a thing but it puts anyone not on hard tires at a massive disadvantage. I’ve tried every tire combo I can think of and even with drafting the ones who didn’t pit still manage to finish ten to thirty seconds ahead of everyone else.
I think simply adding a few laps would, though not put an end to it, at least give anyone not on hard tires a chance. There was an online race last week, just before the IndyCar series dropped, where instead of 26 laps it was 32 I think - this was almost perfect. In fact I think adding a few laps to all the NASCAR races would be great but Sunset is the biggest issue by far.
