We don't rent out the track ahead of time with it in mind that we are going to attempt a lap record.

It was a normal HPDE day and I got the track organizer to get 3 laps for Billy all by himself during lunch. (he had never driven a Senna before)

I was going to try out new tires for myself and that's what I had that day with me and put them on for his test. HIs feedback is that the mercedes spec cup2 were too hard and severely limited the grip, etc.

Unknown at the time of this day but discovered afterwards was that there was a crack in the front right lower control arm...

Bottom line; it set the lap record as a wounded car with not so great tires.

Always was ... especially if you compare to non track specials like 488GTB/F8 and Aventador S (cars that are its actual competition) and not the SVJ, Pista, GT BS or other very track oriented versions
