I would have to agree with that. The track doesnt gain traction just because the car is faster, the car has to change to gain it.

One driver can have two of the exact same cars but ones 17.5 and the other mod .... mod car may get the most traction but with a 17.5 in it the car isnt free enough and that traction slows it down.
