exactly, it wasnt an all out whatever goes turbo vs whatever goes n/a

they had to make this battle competetive and fair and they did a good job..it was a great matchup..

It kinda comes across odd to have a NA vs Turbo where the NA cars can do anything but add a power-adder and the turbo cars are forced to have their radio, ac and are limited by their tires on a circut track!

Might as well say that forced induction is going to win the day and be done with it, lol.

If theyre capped at the same power the turbo wil have a LOT more torque and a much fatter powerband, I dont even see what the point is o.0

BTW, the 3 rotor FD sounds like a TIE fighter
What happens when you are mid-turn and need to tighten your line with the throttle in an NA car? Turbo car?

Uh.. you lift to step out the rear or give it more gas to bring the *** end back in unless you power-over. Not all turbo cars are hard to control with the throttle

When you are at that limit of adhesion, the last thing you want to help you go faster is to upset the balance of the car and therefore make the car twitchy.

Unless you were left foot braking, then the response and the linearity (perhaps a bad choice of a word?) of power from NA engines will help equalize the comparisons and competition between turbo and NA cars.
