Obviously AE has a history of winning and when we go to a race winning is our objective. But it is more important to put a good product in the hands of the people that are spending their hard earned money. If the TC6 is a club racer's car, that is not a bad thing.

However I do believe that the TC6 is a competitive car on an international level. A driver like Juho Levanen suffers because he is the only TC6 driver competing the larger European events. There is no setup help and nobody to bounce ideas off of. I believe he qualified 12th which is a feat in itself considering he is a one-man operation.

AE has four pro drivers racing the TC6: Rick Hohwart, Juho Levanen, Keven Hebert, and Olly Jefferies. It is rare that more than two of these drivers race at the same event and in many case it is only one. But in the international races like Reedy TC Race of Champions and IIC the TC6 places well.

Juho won an ETS round last season, Jefferies won some BRCA rounds and almost won the championship, and the TC6 does well in the U.S. But the team is small and spread out which does not help. AE could sponsor more drivers and get more guys in the mains but the ultimate goal is to put a good car in the hands of the customers and I feel we have succeeded at this.
