That is exactly what the handicap factors are based on: It takes in to
account the performance of the glider type, flown alone, in

Exactly my point! But what is my another point is that in competition the
current (at least German/European) handicap system underhandicaps in the
competitions.

And they are used in those.

Another point still: the handicaps account for water ballast, but in club
class the ballast (at least here) is not allowed.
