Is a MTB tire the fastest and best tire for Gravel racing?

Thought I would shout out some really well done off-road Chung method testing done by John Karrasch (@flexfitbyjohn) • Instagram photos and videos
particularly these two posts:

Shocker: The Race King is the fastest gravel tire. Among the tires tested, the second fastest was the 2.4 Peyote. The test was less kind to my Terra Hardpacks, as these were actually slower than the 45mm Terra Speeds.

Additional take away: The increase in CRR when going from category 1 gravel to category 2 was twice as high on the narrower tires compared to the Peyote.
