Pretty sure that transverse battery cars are going to be the thing to run at the 2014 Worlds on asphalt. The inline cars cannot get the weight far back enough to make them aggressive enough on asphalt. In line cars were designed to be consistent on high grip carpet by putting the weight forward and reducing weight transfer off power. You need the weight transfer to make the car turn in better on asphalt and lower grip carpet.
This is why the CRC Xti inline only works at big high grip races. Club racers and mod drivers have to get the transverse kit or get their but handed to them.
