Yes it is totally unbalanced. But at the same time, if they were to push a patch that leveled the AG Systems for 2048, many people would be upset for the same reason people stopped playing WOHD after the patch.

Bottom line is that there aren't enough active testers that play for that to be relevant. Also, anyone that would test at that level of detail is not the typical racer.
