Agree. They made some very basic mistakes when it comes to the spec for each class in requiring or allowing certain part swaps. Gearing and wheels being the biggest challenge.
I suspect they were operating from the baseline that is Ivan’s optimism for availability. The thing is… he (Ivan) has been promising a Lambo Hurrican for over two years and is only now just barely delivering. The same holds true for other models that were promised year over year, but not delivered.
Build it strong.
Keep it simple.
Make it work.
