I'm not a crazy driver but I see plenty of people with more talent than me who are able to lap faster with less power so good luck to them, but trouser-fillingly fast is the way I like it, it's kind of like owning a CR500  without the inconvenience of hospital food |
Sorry but surely this is the main problem !
Drivers would rather have an undriveable rocket ship than a more controllable and over a full lap a faster car !
When I started an indoor on road club 10 years ago, we wanted to start a junior heat with control electronics to help the youngsters into the sport/hobby, many of the parents objected because they thought their 6 year old could handle the same car setup they could as adults.
To much Power just leads to an uncontrollable crash at the end of the straight or in our world at the bottom of an over enlarged set of jumps.
We first need to be able to control our cars before we press the nitrous bottle switch !
Just IMHO
