should the GT1 class do tires+fuel pitstops at the same time?

Gameplay design choice question here.

The GT1 class is one of the few (the only?) class in the game where during pitstops, fuel goes in first, then the tires are changed. This is of course how it was in real life and still done this way in the GTP/hypercar classes.

But it is an open question whether it makes for good gameplay due to AI limitations. I can still get a huge advantage over the AI by choosing to double-stint the tires. I think the AI can choose to not change tires in cases of a splash and dash, but I think during the normal course of the race the AI will always fuel + change tires.

Would changing the class to allow fuel+tires at the same time benefit gameplay? I think it might.

 

Well, I believe Reiza has so much to do regarding AI that this kind of fine tuning will probably be dealt with later. There are so many tracks that they are either too fast or too slow on specific corners or braking/accelerating zones that what you ask is probably secondary right now. But I agree that it should be looked at some point.
