I would imagine track cars running 10/10ths use all of the track available. Doing that would require running on the curbs in corners--making no track super-smooth. Further, if the difference is trivial, wouldn't straight axle front suspensions become common at the track as well?

On a hypothetical, super-smooth track surface, this may hardly matter.


Looks like my intuition was correct.
Live axle debate (for track cars) seems like another example of automotive trivia minutia that has little bearing on real life outside of statistical internet pissing matches.
(For non-track cars, there is no difference between a Camry and a Supercar, because speed limit, and every one here obeys it. Cue Magnus bashing.)
