Right, but more than likely, even ONE bump against a barrier or other silly mistake in a race will make that miniscule extra performance meaningless. Which is why I stick fairly closely to 1C(I might do 1.5C if I need to cut down the charge time), I KNOW I'm not a good enough driver to take advantage of that, so for me it's just a waste of a good battery to push it that much....
