I agree that it doesn't look great, but I believe it's because of how blown out the track is and lack of other cars on the same surface to compare to. How rough a track is in reality can be nearly impossible to judge from a video filmed from that perspective. I don't think it was smart to release that video under those circumstances as the first DR "Testing" video from a marketing standpoint, but if a car works and wins consistently marketing won't really matter anyway.
