Hmmm, one of our track members just got his too. Apparently 5 members got sennas so I should be lucky enough to see them on track this coming spring.

Sweet! A Marlboro-livery car. That was one of the other designs I considered, and I think it looks really good on the car.
I had to come back to this thread immediately because at first glance I thought it was a direct copy ha, yours looks better.

Well, we are waiting for a driver review of the Senna. And one for the 2RS....

You and me both. The Senna went straight from the dealership to the PPF shop. I haven't even driven it yet :( but having waited over a year for it, I would rather sit on my hands for two more weeks than risk a rock chip on that livery because I got impatient. I'll be in my hands middle of next week, and then the games shall begin.

The 2RS is an interesting car. Probably just a tick slower in acceleration than the 720, but higher cornering grip and really good traction off the line, very stiff spring rates, loud but not annoying at freeway speeds, plenty of interior room. The special Cup 2 tires they fitted on it are super sticky - I saw 1.25G lateral acceleration on my commute home (seriously) without really trying.

I'd say if it weren't for the suspension stiffness, the 2RS could be a fine daily driver; as it is, it's perfectly tolerable but you wouldn't take it on a road trip the way you could with with 720 or most any modern Ferrari. On the other hand if I were going to a track day to wreak havoc, I'd take the 2RS over anything street-legal short of the Senna.

McL of Boston got one in last week, saw it in person in the shop, but was asked not to take pictures since the owner hadn’t even seen it yet.

Definitely a cool throw back livery

Are the tires what hold the Senna back?

But that is a great picture! I look forward to more. I didnt like the Senna when it first came out. But you are right. The race liveries help it a lot!
