2 stops in 30 laps is somewhat ridiculous - a GTR league on the longest tracks only use 1 pitstop and we're talking 100 lap odd races. 1 pitstop is far enough to keep racing close, some will pit at the start, some in the middle and one or two at the end. Throw the pace car in the mix and the chances of close racing are even higher. On the matter of XRG tires, in the GTi Trophy I ran with GenR, no tires were torn apart unless you were ragging the hell out of it the whole time - in a long race, if you're smart you'll have a better strategy.
In terms of evening out skills, you can't slow down fast players, that's just fact. These people worked hard to be as fast as they are so who are we to stop them showing off their hard earned skills? I'm one of those guys who, if I qualify, will finish near the back of the field. If those more experienced than me were pretty much restricted for being too good, I'd feel bad. I race because I want to be challenged. If I didn't want the challenge I wouldn't sign up to an event where people are obviously going to be quicker than me.
Finally, there's no harm in trying out new things to spark some interest back into LFS and racing.
