Default Why all the 1/10 NAT tracks suited to the KF ?

Hi just thinking and what's peoples thoughts on the BRCA 1/10th nationals this year.
I don't personally race in them (I'm crap lol) but I do follow all the nationals 1/10th and 1/8th results as much as possible so this only my spectators opinion,

I personally think the series would have been better if there was a variety of tracks instead of all the tracks in the series been super high grip astro turf. It's like your at a disadvantage in 2wd this year if you don't run a Schumacher KF. This is because there is only one type of track at this years nationals which the KF is suited for.
I have nothing against the Schumacher KF i think it's a brilliant buggy,also I like astro turf tracks.
I just think it would be more open if there was a variety of astro,grass and clay tracks where other manufactures cars may get a chance. Obviously astro has advantages of being consistent and good in wet weather etc, but the euros and worlds etc are prob not gonna be on astro turf so we (the UK) need to get practice on other types of track.
I think 5 out of 10 cars in the A final last Saturday 2wd where Schumacher which is a great result it's clear they are the best car on this style track in the right hands.
Cragg only just made the main in 2wd but in 4wd he won the day could be a coincidence but it could be because the AE is not suited to the high crip astro as good as the KF. I think it was similar in round 2 as we'll

I think the BRCA do a great job but think this has just been over looked or mabe there is some other reason that I don't know why they choose all astro tracks.
They can obviously only choose from the tracks that apply to hold a meeting but in another post in the forum RHR choose to apply with there astro track instead of there dirt track this year as last time they applied with the dirt track they never got a round. At least that's how I read it.
Once again nothing against the Schumacher KF in fact I'm saying it's the faster car on high grip so basically your playing catch up if ye running other buggies at the BRCA this year.
Oops also forgot to mention the Xray forward motor car but same goes for that ado if any other forward motor cars but not a fan of running 4wd with drive shafts out.
This all just my opinion but just thought I share it.
