Thank you for the great coverage. I am really disappointed that there are no teams in the US that are racing the FR-S professionally. The car is legal for classes in both the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and the Pirelli World Challenge Series. The prevailing theory on this absence seems to be concerns about the reliability of the engine. I see that you mentioned that the engines are stock with just exhaust changes and a remapped tune. Have the TMG or other European teams had issues with the direct injector seals, heat or oil starvation that seem to plague some of the amateurs who track the FR-S or run time trials in the US ?
