The BOP for the 86s actually sucks for most tracks that are wide open speedways like VIR. The only reason Heinrecy won in 2021 is because 12 Miata self deported and took the fastest Rx8 with them in the process. Same reason why I went from 16th to 3rd.

If re-watch the stream at all, Devin practically walks around the NC on the back straight every single time like it's standing still. Even within the draft the NC couldn't get to the bumper of the BRZ.
NC was by far a better driver, made amazing passes and yet still got driven around like it was nothing. Sorry, but the argument of BOP isn't valid when you look at the winning car....
Ironically though, if you look at every other FRS/86/BRZ - they couldn't easily motor around an NC, or RX8 for that matter. Kind of interesting observation and more holds true to your claim.
Then there is the whole pre-race footage of Techsports BRZ literally having it's entire front wheel buried underneath it's fender while everyone else is running standard heights. Isn't T4 fixed perch height with lowering springs?
So....what's the post-race inspection like?
