But it was always contentious. And the starts have become more critical over recent years, with pretty much spec cars with otherwise very close performance, gaining a couple of positions off the line is a much bigger advantage. Add in that there are now 3 starts a day compared to 1 or 2 in the 90s, and generally much shorter races, then it's understandable why achieving parity has become more complicated.
