Most good drivers will still drive a car that's .4 sec a lap slower much faster than the guy who gets fast lap, but his other 19 fast laps are 2 seconds slower.
Thanks for the info guys,
The VTA car was to be the home for the gtb since in 17.5 I need/ must have a different speedo.
I believe that event organizers should ask the participants to change the profiles/boost setting to comparable level so that if a "second gear" is seen that the racers gearing and profiles be checked via flashing light or laptop software.
either way the spirit in witch VTA is ran in must be kept.
"MOST IMPORTANTLY: If it's not in the rules, and does not encompass the spirit of slower, controlled racing with realistic looking cars, consider it illegal."
Kind of like getting a fine for "actions detrimental to NASCAR"
