aspera,thanks for the heads up.I thought I was seeing some daylight through the back wheel.I'll get new glasses.
I didn't pay any attention to interior shots of the car.They may have ignored aesthetics altogether.
There may be a vision issue involved.I had to wear polarized sunglasses inside my helmet when I ran out there and the blue interior of the CRX made for good contrast between the white on white outside and shaded inside.
They don't run the single black line on the salt and between watching instruments and staying straight on course,it's kinda busy in there.
I can't even imagine 261 mph.I've only been to 145 and that must be like sitting in a rocking chair by comparison.
The tan interior may have been an oversight or may have been intentional for safety's sake.
