We do run a similar GT class here and because of their control tire and our surface (carpet), it is easy to overpower the cars. Silvercans are more than plenty for the grip available. Compared to that, on the same track, the 17.5 class with a very good tire does 5 extra laps in 5minutes.

We had our last race on a high traction carpet with a very technical layout.
Most of the guys do overpower there cars, but if they would setup the car and ESC how it should be done then they would do max 1 or 2 rounds more in a 5 minutes race.
When we go to big outdoor tracks then they will do some several extra rounds.
But what i'm trying to point out is that you can setup a TT-01(E) to a good level for competitive racing.
