It's been interesting to see, how differently rear track is seen here and there. Around here (finland) there seems to be pretty clear consensus, that narrow rear is must at least for a hard rubber as it gives more grip. People in UK and US forums seems to think that maximum allowed (1400mm) is pretty much always the best and narrowing is somehow dirty setup. I'll have to admit that it has its drawbacks, but that's always the case.

When looking it seems that rear track on hard rubber (vega sl8) varies from about 1280-1360mm, and Mojo from 1350-1400mm around here. Tracks are quite often pretty slippery though.
