MGPRS2 - Tyre wear and altering fuel loads?

Hi all, Can someone tell me whether in MGPRS2 they have fixed the following (or introduced another mode)... In F1RS and in particular Time attack mode it did not induce tyre wear or allow you to vary fuel quantities - Has this been fixed or have they introduced a winter testing mode? i.e. Car setup testing without having to enter a race weekend. Finally do they allow you to start and end in the pits or do they still start you just prior to the last turn? By their own admission they call it a simulation and yet they did not allow for any of the above points. I'm not trying to say whether F1RS or GP2 were better than each other here, both had endearing points but I did prefer GP2's testing mode. i.e. start in the pits, give the signal and away we go. When finished drive back into the pits and up on the jacks. It felt more real. Any feedback welcome - email or follow up post. Steve.P Remove .NOSPAM from address.

To the first: No, Time attack isn't really different. But I don't see it needing a "fix". I think you don't get what time attack is supposed to be, a serious of laps in an identically behaving car, where you just try to get faster and faster. If you want wear, etc, why not just run in practice mode? Ditto for your second Q. Again, this is available in other modes. This isn't what time attack is about. Same answer.
