Where can i see the rate of change for driver energy? Driver stats history is a supporter feature, so will we constantly monitor the energy bar every hour, or we see the change after the next race?
I imagine that the changes come after every race ...

Energy rising all the time and defining actions is typical for many games, but I don't think it's too suitable to GPRO. A kind of good thing is that with 100% before the first race people can't leave tyre choice and qualifying too late or they suffer from energy loss. But I don't know if even that is a good thing.
Maybe I didn't understood that correctly (it's 2 am for me right now), but that means that the later you do your qualifies, the less you gain energy before the race ? Or do you gain energy only after the race ? :/
You regain it slowly between races, so if you were to qualify now, you would (I assume) be back to full by race time, if you wait til fri afternoon, unlikely.

It is influencing ?? It may be, to influence everyone tried to classify early ...
Energy change that favors early qualifiers would present a huge challenge for the people residing beyond GMT+3 or 4, because they will be sleeping and would not be able to qualify early.
So i think all the energy change will be done in post-race script.
I have already qualified and it went down 8%....and in a few hours it already went up ....so,its important o qualify early if you will get it up to 100% again,if not it doesnt matter when you qualify.....at least that part is quite easy to figure,dont think how much it influences in the game will be that easy.....
Just to be clear the driver's energy level will not have any affect on the qualifying times. The consideration in late qualifying is that the energy levels may not be fully recovered in time for the race.
There was already something similar to this energy bar but applied to each individual race as many should know. Its more evident when there are huge breaks of race pace.
This should work similarly but on a continuous way so basicly I look at it as just unhiding a skill.
There are already some theories, one I do like to read about is young drivers having more energy compared to old drivers (which does make sense). Theoricaly speaking is at your youngest age that your heart can stand higher heart rates and its when you're at your physical peaks so I expect age to become a factor of greater importance (which kinda compensates the lack of Experience)
What intrigues me is different tracks having different energy consumptions. Here can come many factors. Lenght, aerodynamics, average speed, maybe (a big maybe) mental tyredness if its a track that requires more Concentration.
The best addition ever in this game, it was worth donating credits last season.

Numbers of corners aswell :D ? And what about the PHA ?
