My 8 year old has raced Spec Novice for 4 years with TT02-S that is TCS legal. It’s hopped up for durability. It didn’t give him any superior advantage until he turned 7, when his driving skills really kicked in and he placed first in April.
The TT hop ups are mostly bling, makes it fun.
The rules your talking about are the TCS GT Pro Spec class is actually not a Novice class. It’s dominated by experience drivers battling it out for that extra 0.1 second.
Attend the next TCS race and enter Pro Spec and see how you do.. it’s tough. I raced it last April and battled for 3rd and eventually succumbed and placed 4th
I totally see your point. However without hijacking the thread I'll just say that legal mods turn to illegal mods real quick and then you have policing issues. Sorry but I think we've all seen this kill good classes. Stick to the pogo springs and 99.9% stock cars and just keep it fun and affordable. If you want bling just run touring car, onroad needs cool spec tamiya classes like this and euro trucks.
