Not sure I understand the hostility. its funny that 59's are scoffed at now days. It is lost on most people how fast that really is at Buttonwillow. I know their car wasn't working well as a completed system, but a 59 is still about 13 seconds a lap faster than a stock car. Sure there is a ton of potential in set up, but this is a great demonstration of the fact that a fast car is not just made up of fast parts. They have to work together in harmony for the driver to do their job. I'm sure they will go faster. For now, they have set the bar for the fastest FR-S there. I'm about 4 seconds behind. Looking to fix that soon.
Best,
Matt
