No boost is awesome
Sounds like they geared up to keep the same speeds they previously had boosted, with no boost. The no boost rule is designed to slow everyone down to give the new members of our hobby a chance to learn. In 1 to 1 racing, they have been using the rules to try to slow down Formula 1 racing for years, but the engineers keep figuring ways around them
