If you're racing, "Speed Costs".

That rule will never be broken.

I was very suprised to see classes like Trinity's Spec Sedan class have such a low success.
Two main reasons why Spec sounds like a good idea, but never works out the way intended:

1) Spec stuff is crap for the $$ asked for it.

Its a monopoly, so the sole supplier can sell you anything they like & whack the 'Spec' sticker on it, 'cos you just *have* to buy it.

2) Money = Spec Champion too

A few races into the season, you'll soon find some racers buying cases and cases of spec battery packs, spec motors... why? So that they can run them through their testers & dynos to find the 'better' ones.
