[edit] lower mechanical wear?
Huh? Why? Because the ice is smoother? --Gbleem 05:28, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just guessing, but I'd say that the coefficient of friction between tires/ice is lower than that of tires/asphalt (even with the best studs) (especially because ice racing seems to usually be in kinetic friction range, whereas asphalt racing is more often in the static friction range), so acceleration and deceleration is going to be correspondingly lower. --Interiot 16:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
