And with the fuel flow meters, the point is to lift and coast. They're there for the same reason air restrictors are, to limit the performance of the cars. If you're going to give them enough fuel so they don't have to lift and coast, then why run the flow meters? May as well go back to air restrictors if you're going to do that.
You can regulate it easier with fuel flows. You get a set amount of fuel to use and it's up to your engine to use it how they see fit. Imo it's more fair to use than air restrictors which don't do well to limit diesel engines for example, which don't rely on air like petrol engines.
