Quick example: the car used by Jorn, Ryan and the Durango crew was definitively a test bench with everything to be defined. It works great on the track (TQ) but will it be produced under any form one day? No one knows and for now that purely speculation which create hope for nothing new.
The current car shows great speed with Ryan and maybe it will be still produced as it is for some more years which in turns will frustrate the customers as they saw something than never get out.
So again, nothing about nobody here: this is more some request at the track during the event that some deliberately broke out in order to show something.
I spoke with some persons and they weren't please at all about some released pictures on the prototype/test car.

It's going to happen. If you take something out in public, it is at risk of having a picture taken of it. This was even true before the modern digital age. I remember the 1989 spy shots and especially the spy shots of the 1991 Associated RC10 Stealth cars. I got excited. Everyone wanted one. We never got it. The standard RC10 stayed around a few more years before the B2 came out. Those Stealth cars were developmental platforms that ultimately led to the current layouts. Modern arm length and shock mounting locations were figured out back then as they are identical on the B3, B4, DEX210, and other buggies which are all from those old stealth cars.
I for one don't get disappointed anymore if what is spied doesn't make production. Just because something is being tried doesn't mean it's better or even as good. I just enjoy seeing different things and knowing that ongoing development still exists. That gives me hope for the future.
