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  |

a spec class only means driver push their equipment to the limit, and when a new speedo/motor is released everyone buys it to see if its quicker. my motor in my buggy is over 3 years old and still fast enough for me.
too much power does not lead to a crash, the driver going too fast leads to the crash

Mark,
I understand what your saying, but the point I was trying to make was that the parent thought their 6 year old that was new to the hobby could drive a full blown 13.5 Touring Car, the parent needed the education, all we tried to do was introduce a Spec'd class so the kids to drive a more controllable car and learn to drive rather than point, squirt, crash and repeat.
Everyone has the right to fit what they want and I respect that.
All I was trying to say was just because you have the fastest car on the straight doesn't mean on a lap you get the fastest lap time.
