Masami more than likely would've won the worlds with a 12i. The T-bar is a fabulous concept if you don't mind changing it every three runs so the car will remain consistent, and you don't mind a car that's roll stiffness is only adjustable in unison with it's forward traction in two less than ideal increments as dictated by the manufacturer. Plus on a 12L you can't even adjust lateral dampening without affect fore and aft dampening. It was a great design in 1985, but it's a little dated now.
