I can't speak for anyone else, but part of the fun factor for me is
knowing that the _car_ isn't in the way of me doing well. If I knew that
the absolute best I could hope for was mid-pack or something even if I ran
the best run anyone's ever run, that would suck.
Like you said, we all do this for fun. How much fun do you think ESP
folks are having when they point out that the M3 is mis-classed and
everyone tells them that its fine, they suck as drivers, and to quit
whining?
