No doubt, only a handful of top pros can pull those times on two wheels. The cars are all just giant horsepower computers and the operator just floors the go pedal and steers. Most any 10 year old can do that. No special talent needed whatsoever.
I have seen one Plaid "in the wild" but never a Bugatti on the streets. The Lucid is new, but it is unlikely I will ever see one. I have seen lots of Ferraris, Mercedes Maybach, Lambos and other exotics on the streets. Of course as a PCA member I know people with a lot of high end Porsches, and they all get driven. Not that me seeing a car on the streets is any measure of a car, except sales numbers and price in Oklahoma. Not a metric the magazines are likely to include on any list.
