But when they favour TC with a simpler layout, that usual makes it easier to run faster 12th scale setups (10.5 instead of 13.5, etc).

In the UK the two classes run at different events 99% of the time, so tracks can be 'tuned' to suit.
Club races in the UK are far more of a mixture.
My indoor club has GT12, LMP12 (1/12) and TC's
Essentially, all those classes are 13.5 blinky, but you can run what you like if you really want, you just can't get championship points.
Faster cars often lead to rougher races, this a worldwide state of affairs, in North America there seems to be a push for more controlled racing, which in theory should lead to more new racers in the class
Yes we could all run (10.5 1s) or (21.5 2s) for stock, but that looks to be the opposite direction the masses here are going
