Balancing environmental compliance with speed isn't as easy as it sounds. But racing doesn't lie. Declaring they'll aim for the podium even on CN fuel, and shaving off a second every year - this accumulation is the real thing. Speaking from experience on the ground, I've seen this kind of steady challenge turn into real technology many times over.

I'm curious how the CN tires perform. Would genuinely be happy if that trickles down to production tires.

Hearing about Suzuki's works 8 Hours entry reminds me of the Yoshimura era.

Is aiming for the podium on CN fuel and tires actually realistic? Seems like it'd cost them lap time.

Cutting environmental impact while still going fast, that feels like the right direction for racing to evolve.

A second faster every year, third year running. Wonder how much they've actually shaved off since last year.

A podium against the Honda works team is a pretty tall order, isn't it?
