Did you watch them in action?
Yes their acceleration woudl be hindered slightly, but if they didn't have to come to almost a complete stop at each corner I think they're overall lap time would jump greatly. Watch one of their matches...they have such potential, I just saw the tippiness they experienced as one of the few weaknesses....
