Heres the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tv4VxI1GZs

Driver was in auto mode, and left the car in eco, at the very least would be 5 seconds quicker if the driver wasnt making this car slow on purpose

Driven by a moron. All those Car and Driver lap times are useless. You can find video on YT.

After watching the video, it looked like the driver did a pretty horrendous job, it's like he was half asleep and did the lap

When professional driver Randy Pobst did a lap on Laguna Seca he did a 1:34. somethhing which is the kind of time I was expecting, this 2:56.10 is really slow in comparison

I'm guessing this is the same car that was presented to MT at big willlow.

Yep, Pobst complained about the Nanny features that added several seconds to its Big Willow time. Probably same story here.
