They limited your P-47M (along with some others) while you were away, at least for the 2013 race. Not sure if you saw that.
"The Thoroughbreds.
The Thoroughbred list includes all models of the Dornier Do335, P-51H, P-82B, and P-47M, as well as the DH.103 Hornet by AlphaSim/Virtavia,. Teams may fly no more than a total of 10 normal baton legs in thoroughbred class aircraft. A 30 minute "maintenance" penalty applies to each excessive use. These 10 thoroughbred legs represent a resource to be used strategically."

Baton safe down and free ...
@ SAWA (!)
[EDIT] I had even seen it Moses but thank you! That was one reason I dusted off an old P-47D-30-RA flight model from 2008 for the last leg. Just to see how it'll do and also to show a slightly adapted new livery for both the D-30 and the "thoroughbred" M-1
Of course I wouldn't risk choosing an "inadequate" flight model.
I'm still 'rusty as hell'

@ SCNT - proof to follow up,
superlightly loaded, it was even easy to reach critical altitude and get back down within less than 100 nautical miles. Loaded only to less than 90'000 lbs., the B-50 would have outclimbed many of the earlier WW-2 fighters. I was on altitude at FL300 within less than 35 nautical miles.
[EDIT] BTW - The Lucky Lady II was the first aircraft to circumnavigate the world non stop ... => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Lady_II
