I would agree if that was the reality. But, top drivers drive what they are sponsored by, and not necessarily what they think is the best. They are also so good, that with time and tweaking, they can make just about anything perform well. Cars like the Yok and the Alex don't have the marketing money in the states for a lot of drivers. Come on, Yok only really has one factory driver in the USA; Chris Tosolini. Even when he does well, that's only one driver in the A-main. He loves the cars, but if you go by your strategy for buying, the Yoks don't make up a good percentage. Even if other drivers like Blackstock or Kinwald wanted to drive a Yok or Alex, their sponsors would never allow it. I'm not saying the other cars aren't good, just that your theory for buying isn't based on reality.
