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
Up to a point I actually agree with you, anyone who knows me will tell you that while i'm not the fastest driver, i'm not slow either and I don't really have a reputation for crashing significantly more than anyone else. I'm not gung-ho, I try to drive as carefully as I realistically can but at the end of the day I want the hobby to be fun

I do take your point though, it's true that when you have less power or you know you don't have any spares with you it can sometimes improve your driving.

Respect your opinion mate, like I said on page 1 this is an interesting topic
