Are you talking about spot dropping to keep their cars slower than a second under or spot dropping to hit their dial in?

If your talking about to hit your dial in I’d have to agree your tune up is way reliable unless blatantly cheating with the grid such as using an arc module or something similar. Just pulling timing at x seconds isn’t going to help if you lost a tenth at half track because the setup/tune up is bad. You’d need to have something that tells the grid your track position which is already illegal.

I would argue and say that successful racers are just in good consistent cars, not pushing rules with electronics.

Is there anyone that is successfully spot-dropping on every run, or hitting the dial dead-on every time they do it?

Spot dropping is one tool in the bag of a complete top-end driver, and learning how much to hold and how to kill it is a learned and earned skill. The car also needs to be good first.

I would venture to say that there are more good cars out there than great drivers.
