So it's about putting a bunch of aero and downforce.

So you've got your aerodynamicists, you've got your design team, you've got your vehicle dynamics team.

It's amazing watching a race car that has 80,000 parts that lives in a prototype world.

So we don't just build it and go, that's what we're racing for the year.

We build it.

And by race one, by race two, it's changing.

Race three, it's changing.

So it's constantly evolving.

If you take the car at the beginning of the year that qualified first and you didn't touch it, by the end of the year, it would be last.

So that's the pace of development of the entire race.

So we live in a prototype world.

We're chasing perfection, but you never actually catch it because you can always, we're done with that.

Let's put it on the car.

Now let's keep working on it to make it perfect.

Better, lighter, faster, more aero, whatever the case may be.

And so it's amazing watching it all come together.

You know, it's close to $100 million just to develop and build these race cars.

One car?

Two cars.

You ultimately end up building up about four or five over the course of the year because the chassis will flex out or have accidents, things of that nature, and you need spares.
