My view is I don't care what you learn from looking at my car, you still won't be able to out drive me. I'm still the best race car driver that nobody's ever heard of.
When I was racing bikes, one of my team mates would always paint a different conspicuous bolt red. When asked he would always reply that the factory engineers had asked that we test something for them. We weren't sure what they were testing, but it seemed to help.
It was always worth at least two places off the start and much rancor after the race concerning our cheater bikes with new mystery factory support.
