1. The thinking behind leaving tire change solely at drivers' discretion is that this can create multitude of strategies. I have heard some XRGs eating their rears in 8-9 laps, whereas in my XFG I have no problem running all 30 laps on a single set with no effect on my laptime. But I leave it to those who know the technicalities behind running the event. I do agree though, that fuel is a difficult thing to police.
2. There won't be a chance to pit under caution unless the field does at least one complete lap in pacecar mode. For example, if an accident happens in T1, the field completes the lap in pacecar mode and resumes the race at the end of the lap. If we go for the proper US-style pacecar, then we will lose 2-3 laps on each accident, which won't be fun by any measure. So I feel we shall view the caution mode only as a way to help the field bunch up a bit and resume close racing.
Date is fine. I guess once we get the technical side sorted, we can do a vote here on the forum with a couple of alternative dates to offer.
