Bottom line is the team with the best electronic package to take advantage of whichever rubber was present would be fastest. It is a wonderful idea to try and balance the field but in the end teh team that has the technical advantages, like in Formula One, will find their way to the front again.

Now in WSBK the spec tire closed the ranks a good bit but primarily because even though tractioon control and electronic aids are present they are not at the level of the MotoGP systems...
