everyone has the same additional power allocation and everyone has to go through attack mode twice in a race -- it's a strategic call of when you want to use the additional power, and when you can stand to lose a second or two going far off the optimal line to activate it. this is essentially similar to the overtake system in indycar or super formula. it's certainly not much worse than DRS.

now, the "fanboost" which gave certain drivers (almost always the same handful for years one end) an additional "push to pass" option based on social media voting -- that shit sucked. it's also gone next season.

Yes I assumed we were talking about fan boost. Glad to hear it's going/gone, I don't follow FE closely enough to have known it's been discontinued.
Oh, I thought he was talking about fan boost. That was such a terrible idea, I'm glad it is gone.
