All I saw was these extreme close ups you posted, I had to do a Google image search to get the "big picture". I'm not going to remember things from two weeks ago, I'm too old for that. I also don't know all the Asian car models using numbers because I have no interest in them, they don't do a thing for me.

Supercars can cheat,as they have active suspension,lowering the car only when it's out of harm's way.
Great information, I'll file this one in my memory banks - SWEET 16.
