In fact, typically turbo's are written out of the rule books because they have a seemingly unfair advantage. The original E30 M3's reason for being was cut short due to turbo charged engines. It was designed and bred to be a competitive race car, cut down by others 'going turbo'.....ha ha......oh the irony.  |
No one said turbos are useless, again see post just above...
Turbo engines are fantastic at producing maximum levels of specific torque and specific power (i.e. per displacement). That certainly contributes to their popularity and success.
The issue is that in many types of racing and even in non-competitive spirited driving there is a real need for turbo lag reduction or even elimination entirely of turbo lag. Who can argue against more power sooner, that is the true irony in your kooky defintions and bias.
