Remember that tanks and sunderers aren't designed to break ground, they're designed to support infantry. A squadron of tanks can be easily flanked and taken out by mines, C4, and rockets if they overextend without infantry support, so you're not trying to go fast.

You move faster than your supporting units as-is, meaning this is great to get out of a bind if you need to reposition, which makes this the better defensive grab. In-combat, the racer chassis only benefits you if you're facing towards your escape route, which is more often than not directly behind you. While flanking does occur often, it's far better for you to have your front armor in the front to force them to have to flank you in order to disable you. This way the opponents are forced to go through your own units in order to get to your weak point.
