Just a thought. In DTM they race with two mandatory pit windows. Say it's a 40 lap race for example, they would have the window open 16-22 and 28-32 (guesses on precise numbers). This means every car has to pit twice, within these designated laps.
DTM now has no fuel allowed as the tanks are more than big enough. This kind of equates to what we have in our shorter races.
So, adopting this would mean we can keep the Hards. The Majors would still have pitting strategies as the mandatory pitting wouldn't work here, but the shorter (and definitely road races) could benefit from this new strategy layout.
Yes it takes away from 1 v 2 pitstops in a race, but brings in whether you put early or late in the designated windows.
Would also mean we have to change very little for the rest of the season, with only adopting 'windows' to those races that deserve them.
Thoughts?
