I know TMC is involved in GT3, WRC, WEC, NASCAR and Super GT racings and have been winning (dominating) a lot lately, but I find it somewhat wasted because none of it get fully transfered to their road cars (performance wise).
They will introduce a lot of performance cars in the near future but I have yet to see TMC really try to shake the industry since the LFA (again, performance).
What bothers me is I know they have the ability but they seem to be not interested in breaking road car records? The TNGA is such a good chassis system that even something like the CHR could handle 600HP with ease and it seems wasted for just 144HP.
I know Japanese companies are often very humble and really take their time for long term benefits but I really want them to shutter lap records because it would be fun to break people's mind once in a while and in this case, almost 10 years since the LFA. I mean they could have the LFA run the Nurburgring again with race tyres and possibly break the record since the track has way better condition than in 2012.
They partially own Subaru and Mazda and after the Supra I have a feeling TMC might even get involed with BMW more in the future as well. Why not use what they have and just do it?
What do y'all think?
