Why 9.4: One seat, slick-adjacent tires, a sequential box — the road-legal formula car. Every single one lives at a circuit; Doug's Weekend 46 against Daily 16 says it all.

The long version

There's no passenger seat, so there's no version of this car bought to impress anyone riding along — the entire value proposition is solitary lap time, which self-selects for people who already own a trailer, a helmet bag, and a home track they visit regularly. Miles stay moderate not because the car sits, but because track miles accumulate slowly compared to road miles even for owners who show up every weekend. Doug's own numbers make the case better than marketing copy could: a Weekend score nearly three times the Daily score, an honest description of a car that was never meant to do anything else.
