I prefer more direct measures. I wouldn't buy a car because the manufacturer races. If that truly trickles down and makes a better car, than show me it is a better car. Don't point to racing as proof that the car is better.

Not saying that one is better than the other, but focus and priorities will be different. Spending $50 million in making foot sensors to open the trunk and other comfort amenities vs. an AWD torque vectoring differential geared for performance, you take your pick when buying a premium sports car. But it all depends on your priority and preference, one could be better than the other.
