First, I want to thanks everybody at RD for the organization, streaming, announcements. I know it's a ton of work.
After two races, competition is not working so well. The problem I see, is that the MOD force the P2 cars to go in a unique strategy, full boost, soft tyres, and try to lose as few time as you could with the GT cars. That's the biggest conflict I see, because the P2 and GT cars brakes almost on the same point, they have very similay acceleration until the P2 gets high speed. So the chances to pass are basically at the end of a long straight, or going out faster from a fast corner.
Currently the soft tyres can't make it to the end of a stint if you use low boost, and medium tyres can't make two stints if you use low boost. So, the only two strategies are, full boost and soft tyres, or low boost and medium tyres and this last one doesn't pay off, because you lose too much time with the traffic. So, everybody is doing the same, going like rockets and fighting for thousend parts of a second with other P2s until you lose 3 seconds in a corner because a GT that don't want to lose 2 tenths.
About GT's behaviour, some drivers pretend to hold a P2 car before Brooklands until the exit of Luffield. At the end of Wellington Straight the GT driver knows that the P2 will pass, so try to make it easy to everybody and give room taking a slight different line, both drivers would lose just a bit of time, and not 2 seconds only for the P2 car. It's the same from Stowe to Club. Only at the end of the race some drivers understood that.
