it just seems to be a bit of a merry go round. if it's not one thing it's the other
...been like this since they invented 'spec' racing. The only solution I can see is to simply ban the use of the timing adance features (and possibly mandate that motors must be set to 0)..... the only problems with this is it would be unworkable.
I can see it now....
Here are your control tyres, control motor and control ESC.... you just bring the car.
