I would like to suggest the addition of three research priorities for testing that focuses on two characteristics in equal proportion (thus creating a single anti-priority).

That's easy to achieve with current priorities, you can run 50/25+25 laps with a priority that has a strong focus on 1 character and then do the same with a different priority.

I'm not sure I'm following you.
With even number stints of course it's fine and when that's 50+50 it's great even, but often we need to test 3 stints to make up 100 laps and I don't see how to make that work in equal proportions on two parts without adding excessive wear to the part that you'd like to keep low?
Using 4 stints has other drawbacks.
Perhaps I'm looking for too much precision but it feels like three of the current options have become redundant with somewhat recent changes and could perhaps use perking up in the proposed manner?
Edit: Removed some potential FOBY stuff.

Test sessions with even stint counts can already be balanced that way.
Uneven ones as well, but that may require varying in lapcounts.
Tickles my OCDs a bit as well, that we can't 100% balance it that way with every lapcount imaginable, but i think you can always get pretty close.
More options may also increase the learning curve for newcomers, which wouldn't be very desirable i guess ;)
Edit: do agree that three of the somehwat redundant options we have now could be replaced with what Wouter's suggesting.

This was my thinking. Rather than add more, I would say I prefer this suggestion to three priorities that we already have.

There's a quite simple way to balance two priorities equaly amongst three stints. Not exactly but pretty much equal.

Well then... maybe you have to make choices...
Could it be that management is about making choices and maybe there shouldn't be an easy optimal way just like happens to suite you but instead a choice between options.

Or maybe the somewhat recent changes have actually brought the current options to life. (made them better)

@Wouter Kirstein (M2) AKA Mr Decimal looking for more precision, surely not :-). Sorry Wouter couldn't resist.

Oh come on Mikko, you know damn well those three testing priorities were hardly useful. And you're likely also well aware that their usefulness hasn't particularly increased since the 'recent changes' you mention :D
Have you used them more since those changes? Has anyone in your team?
Both rhetorical btw, foby and all that.

And you know that there's a difference between "hardly useful" and "never useful at all".
Also, it's not always about maximized "usefulness", there are also other factors to consider.

The level of "usefulness" is one thing, and up to the manager in question, as the point I was trying to make (maybe failed there) was that it's a choice for the manager to make, of which the following is one example:
Quote ( Wouter Kirstein @ July 14th 2020,01:59:20 ) often we need to test 3 stints to make up 100 laps and I don't see how to make that work in equal proportions
One could also choose to test only 99 laps if "equality" is an issue
Quote ( Wouter Kirstein @ July 14th 2020,01:59:20 ) [Using 4 stints has other drawbacks
That is also a choice.
Ofcourse the priorities could be crafted in a way that would perfectly fit the wishes of "manager X", but would it be better to the "big picture" or is it better that it's up to the manager to find the balance to fit his/her goals.

lol this guy cracks me up with his lectures. I am richer for your passive aggression and sarcasm oh great one, what would we ever do without your perception of superiority? :D

Exactly Mikko. We wouldn't want to make changes just because Wouter wants them. So with that bigass pretty ol' picture you mention in mind, and considering the recent PHA changes...
Would it be better to have a choice of:
- three single character focused testing priorities
- three half arsed single character focused testing priorities
Or:
- three single character focused prios
- three dual character focused prios
Hmmm, toughie.

Just to be clear, by "manager X" I wasn't referring to Wouter, but instead any given manager or managers of "some group" (not reference to gpro group/level) but as people in general.
Quote ( Miel Soeterbroek @ July 14th 2020,14:42:59 ) Hmmm, toughie.
In my view not so much, because the same goals can be achieved by both methods, the difference is that the "or" way would require less mixing and matching, as in less planning and less choices, which translates as easier.

Dude, anyone playing GPRO can add, subtract, divide and multiply... it wouldn't make things any easier. What it would do is make the set of research priorities much more concise: you can focus on any combination of one, two or three characters.

For this season at least, it's possible to run two sessions of 50 laps on certain tires.
It was minor part of the consideration that went into my tire choice.

which one can already do with some planning
as you said:
Quote ( Miel Soeterbroek @ July 14th 2020,02:04:24 ) Test sessions with even stint counts can already be balanced that way.
Uneven ones as well, but that may require varying in lapcounts.
