It’s understated [in appearance], but has so much grip that it’s perfect for someone who doesn’t race cars every weekend. It’s give you great feedback and you feel comfortable because you know when you’re pushing it too far,” he added.
This is clearly implying that you could track it on some weekends in some HPDE type events (because someone who races their car every other weekend, fits this description). And this is coming from Ford directly.
