Or will it result in faster motors, turbo escs, bigger batteries, drivetrain wear and more expensive crashes? Basically all the stuff you see in Touring Cars.
I think the racing will be better if everyone has an average amount of grip; enough to make the cars driveable, but not so much as to create a speed war. Most of the cars on rubbers last night looked good enough for some fun racing. Alec's foam car looked more like a touring car that could take jumps.

for what its worth, I agree with this.
typically, everyone will always have a stack of used/knackered yellow mini-spikes from club, national or any off-road meeting.
keep the carpet to a minimum so that worn 'off-road' tires dont suck more than new ones and have everyone running yellow mini-spikes.
Ive driven enough 'laps' in street testing to know that cars have a nice amount of grip on tarmac with worn yellow mini-spikes.
