Does initial driver energy affect the race performance if the energy is always above %0 during and at the end of the race?
For instance, would that make a difference on my performance if I started with %100 energy or %90 energy, even if I end up with more than %0 energy on both?
Having changes such as:
%100 -> %60
or
%90 -> %50
or
%70 -> %30

Basically no. If your energy stays above 0% it has no effect on your race performance

So I do not have to wait 2-3 days after a race to get %100 energy to do the qualifications for the next race?

Kemal, the driver energy has no effect at all on qualifying and practice. You can confirm this yourself by doing one practice lap, waiting a few hours until he has some more energy, and then doing another practice lap :)
In races, as Riley stated, the only thing that will affect pace is running out of energy.

That is correct, you will never have 0% energy after a race update, you will always get a certain % back after the race update.

You sure ? It dos not have any effect on practice laps, but doing qualifications and choosing one or the other risk takes energy away, so in theory with 0% trying to push to the limit, should give the same results as keeping the car on track.

What you state is right, but it's not what Kemal asked in the opening post.

I know, I just pointed out that particular line, so it won't confuse Kemal :]

How would you do that, after the race you immideatly get some % of energy so that you always will have energy to qualify (this is because people who would qualify right after last race would benefit from this)

The max energy i ever used in qualifying was 22% (11 in both Q1 and Q2), so it's definitely possible :D

It was an example that qualifying risks take some energy away. I'm not sure how much is being taken for each driver, but once it took me 11% to push the car to the limit and if you get 20% after the race and it might take the same amount in Q2, then I wonder will your risks would work or not ... But all depends on a driver you have and how much energy he will use for each risk. It's a small thing to find out for me :/

When the feature was first introduced there wasn't an instant increase in energy after the post-race update, so it was possible to qualify with a driver on 0%. The qualifying performance wasn't affected in this situation, so I assume it wouldn't be now either.
The post-update boost in energy was introduced to eliminate the advantage given to managers who could qualify for the next race immediately.

I still think driver energy has an impact in risks you can use in qualifying, if you don't have enough, you should in theory won't be able to use certain risks. Just my opinion in it.

It was stated clearly in the Energy discussion, that lack of Energy did not affect Qualifying.
Has that been changed??

That's a thing to find out, otherwise why energy should be dropped by certain percentage while doing qualifications if it dos not have an effect. Just to lower the amount of energy to carry to the other race ? Which dos not make any sense :/

It creates an incentive for people to qualify a bit earlier. It used to be common in Elite to see everyone qualifying last minute because they didn't want to give away anything to the competition in terms of how much they were spending on car parts and how good their pace was, or what strategy they are on.
Now if you wait until 18:25 to qualify, you pay a price in terms of energy. It's a good thing because it means there is less to be gained for those who are able to be online at that time versus those who are not.

Guys, it's in the rules ;)
The energy level will not affect the driver pace in practice, qualifying and testing, however your driver will lose some energy during his qualifying laps.

But that don't say anything about (no) effect at races :)
..
The idea why adding it is GOOD,
but why not make it REALISTIC when devs have bothered to add it? :)
I bet :) IRL an exhasuted driver with low energy left drive less good than a not tired driver, if not else tiredness add risk for drivers misstakes.
