People race to win. Have fun and win. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, I race USGT and have tried every body out there and the P Zero is by far the fastest body for me and by judging by the body count must be the same for most. I just can't help but wonder if the content of some racers signature stops them from running a P Zero.

So much for a class with diverse GT bodies. The "spirit" of the class has been destroyed as per usual.

"I just can't help but wonder if the content of some racers signature stops them from running a P Zero." To what are you referring? NOTHING stops me from running whatever body I want (except of course a McAllister DP body because those are illegal even though the P zero looks like a prototype). I would rather throw something different in the mix. If you want to race as fast as possible, race 17.5 or mod.

Yeah I see your point its just that I had such high hopes for this class. Finally we'd be getting back to realistic bodies but its simply become another touring car class with spec tires and body of the week.

Personally I think the only way to minimise trophy hunters in the "fun" classes is to just abolish trophies. |

1 PF 2 MxStangs 27 Exotek if I remember I think this is more a case of 'monkey see monkey do' mentality among RC racers. I started in RC racing in 2014 and have seen the 'hot USGT' body go from PFM10 to the Cadillac to the Corvette and now the Exotek. The next "hot" body is just around the corner and the Exotek will be relegated to the closeout bin. Mark C |

Not disagreeing with anything you said, and this is absolutely not a shot at you, but the exact same thing happens in TCS racing too. NSX, BRZ, etc.
The thing here is that since there is a limited number of bodies by companies like Protoform, Exotek, etc. which you can get anywhere, you see less variety. I have pointed out many times, there are lots of bodies that are good, but sometimes they are scarce (any HPI lately), or hard to find, or at least not super easy to acquire (bluegroove, buildrc, deltaplastik usa). That's not to say 10 minutes on google will not get what you want, but it takes actual effort. Much easier to buy the new hotness everyone else uses (350Z, Caddy, etc.etc.) ... says the guy who races FWD in GT10. :lol: |
