I disagree. Modern match sprinting is as xlose to doing an F200 as it has ever been.
It's gone from using the fastest times to seed a cat and mouse game, to seeding rolling start drag races. The two have never been more similar.
And as far as pursuing, you can be a mediocre pursuiter and still be a great points racer. The seedings for the F200 typically correlate pretty closely to the final results.
