75% was the go-to for me when F1 2010 came out - mainly because 50% barely felt like a race, but 100% made career mode too drawn out.
I used to play Grand Prix 4 a lot - even up until 2020 when I got a wheel which isn't detected within the game - and that even had a percentage slider for race length. Wanna do a 30% length championship - feel free! How about 83%? Sure, go right ahead! 59% you say? Yup, you can do it!
Amazing that a game from 2002 could allow you this level of freedom, yet it's a pipe dream 20 years later. But looking at some of the seemingly basic issues F1 games have faced in recent years - some bugs being carried over for 5 different iterations - it's hardly surprising. I assume there is a huge level of code fudging going on in the background which is probably a mess to sort out in less than a year.
