At Coventry before xmas on a horrible damp day where track was greasy we backed to back a bmax2 and an xb4/2. While the bmax was safer it wasn't faster than the xb4/2 ONCE you'd got past the intial traction stage (more to do with the slipper setup of the xb4/2 in my opinion as it's tricky to get it to slip enough but not slip that you lose power once upto speed) - on average it was about 12 seconds a run faster with the xb4/2 (same driver)
Personnaly think that mid will still be a back up under certain conditions and that forward motor cars (I include yz2 in this as the motor is way forward from the rear axle!) will prevail - the more people buy them then the more people who are in the same boat when tracks are not at their best if you get my meaning.
