How do you figure?  This thing has been kicking ass all over the European
continent.

The proof is in the pudding, from what I have read, few have beat them.
That means that apparently they have held up to the races they were in.  IE,
they confirmed they were capable of completing the task they were designed
for.  Racing may begin on a chalk board, but it sure as hell does not finish

put into this?  What computations they have gone through to arrive where
they are now?  What number of degrees the designers involved have, and how
much they really know?
