As others have stated, I think we just need to give it a few weeks to see how it goes. I get all sides of the discussions, and have some of my own feelings as well (but only after one week).
Personally, it was really a bit odd jumping on and just going for the first race of each combo. Just thoughts here.
With the added time per race it eventually clicked for me as we progressed that I had more time than usual to set up passes. Hopefully that will lead to better race craft (myself included) - as has been mentioned - since there won’t be that nagging feeling to “get by someone quick” and it is the overtaking driver’s responsibility to pass cleanly.
TL;DR I am here for clean racing fun, and it will either be fun, or it won’t.
