Good to see them still making improvements. It must be over a decade of work on this car.

What is there not to get? Time attack isn't StanceNation, yo. It's about raw performance and driving skill.

Ask that crazy aero is why people win time attack. This is how you win on a circuit, not big power or most stock looking ride. Down force is traction, traction is speed

Wallets!? That thing looks like it manages a hedge fund!

It seems like there's a much more cost effective way to do a 51 second lap around Tsukuba.

It's mostly sponsored I'm sure. And advertisement for the shop

What's your point? That's ALL racing.

You should look up the times posted there by higher end cars. There are many 100-300k cars that don't come close to times like this. You guys are forgetting that cars like this and the Scorch S15 destroy plenty of other high end cars, including GTRs and the like, on track. As fast as the $120k Viper ACR is, this thing would crush it. Much lighter, more extreme aero, better power to weight. What's not to like?

Sure, a formula car could or professional GT3 car could do it too, but it's not the same. Building the car is part of the challenge.
