Mini tubs and tubbing developed as a result of the drag racing classes requiring that bodywork remained standard looking ... no flares allowed. Aerodynamic efficiency is also a factor in the super quick pro stock classes. On the other hand (where allowed) it is so easy to flare the guards get a wider diff and have the tyres sitting outside the car a couple of extra inches.
