have you answered my question?chris1388 wrote:I asked karl and maria a question a while back and niether replied. Explain the difference in the championship shootout years past where the winner's time was significantly better than say the lower end of the results. I for one remember ryan pinheiro finding time that noone else cud find with vishnus b14. Please explain.
Also ryan peyrau took the stock swift sport the year lifestyle sponsored one for the shootout. Amir won that year. Peyrau took the car after ALL the competitors used it and blew the winning time out of the water.
Do you find the reason "that's how it was done in the past" to be a reason why it can't be questioned?wagonrunner wrote:I have always had an issue with this because I don't understand how two vehicles with the same P/W ratio and a difference in length of 2 feet plus could be expected to handle the same in a dexterity race.
It does indeed favor some.

I think those questioning the rules should take up the offer I outlined before trying to crunch numbers and come up with a "length correction factor".
so to clarify, you agree with the following?two vehicles with the same P/W ratio and a difference in length of 2 feet plus could be expected to handle the same in a dexterity race.

wagonrunner wrote:pete the point system to me is another fallacy.
does any mod increase all cars performance so uniformly, that the penalty could be?
pete wrote:The swift sport suspension is also very good compared to the other cars in ES and Anthony has good tyres on. So you have a combination of three things which will make the car faster that other cars in the class. It's not just the length difference. If the cars that had 25+ pwr's boost their power or drop some weight to get down to 20, put on sport suspension and install good tyres their times should then be competitive.
