The answer to these is easy: history clearly shows that competition makes a big difference, in both science and technology.
Have you considered also that these collaborations often occur within a larger framework of competition between competing groups?

As I said in an earlier reply to you, this is a reason why competition is intrinsic. It's not a choice about whether you want it or not, it's going to happen, and the quoted part of your comment is pretty much admitting that.
> some poxy “race” ... a much less significant “race” aspect ... what does this additional “race” crap
you keep describing it in pejorative terms, without explaining why it is supposedly so bad. The only thing I can see is you mentioning "races breed insular teamwork". Do you have any evidence that races actually slow down progress, or is it just that you find the idea of them distasteful?
And I'll ask again, what has competition (there being races) have to do with ideology?
