I fail to understand. Honda is fourth in manufacturer's points, behind Renault, Ferrari, and Mclaren. They are ahead of Toyota, who spend more. They have a valid and honourable history in motorsport, and their engines have powered teams to world championships. And yes, the record was done in what is legally and technically an F1 car.
As far as being a challenge, I don't see any other teams out there eclipsing Honda's achievement. I also don't see any other Formula One cars have done that speed, not even at the old Hockenheim circuit. And considering that just the wheels alone contribute 70% of the aero drag, for a car with exposed wheels of such width and size, it IS a considerable achievement.
If it's so easy, why don't you toddle down to Bonneville and beat the record?
