Spec tires will be no different with the special batches favoring one end of the shore range or another. And with the wide range and generations of carpet out there, a single compound for everywhere is not realistic. And comparing it to WGT is not practical since those cars are so under powered and run such a wide rear tire they could get traction on about anything. We tried it toward the end of the Foam TC class, the tires were inconsistent from race to race. But then again I guess SPEC Foam did save FOAM Touring.
Lipo,brushless,and rubber tires created a problem?? It has created the single largest and most successful form of electric onroad racing on the planet. Hard to take anyone that far behind the times serious.
