I am 100% certain that the racing will be just as good, but costs and ease of use would reduce at the expense of a little bit slower laptimes.
(Besides. WGT was dead before and after rubber tire!).
Are club had full heats of WGT on foam every weekend. I don't see rubber tire 1/12 fixing anything but making it more expensive for new people to come into the hobby. I don't see old racers liking rubber tire either. If you look at TC look at all the work that goes into jaco blues or gravity tc tires on CRC black carpet, Its stupid so why do I want the same problems in a 1/12 chassis. 1/12 is a class of repetitiveness and seeing how constant you can be, I don't see rubber tires offering that what so ever.
Now what does rubber tire 1/12 offer from a chassis company stand point..well a lot! This give chassis companies new ways to make cars and sell them but one again why are we trying to re-invent the wheel. The class has been fine for some time it needs nothing but racers. This is where GT12 comes into pay.
