Is a Scion FR-S useful for cursive writing?

As part of a corporate team building exercise, I decided to produce an image of my company’s logo (a cursive “T”) - to demonstrate my “passion for driving results” (a corporate values statement) using only burnt rubber.

This was my first attempt, and I nailed it! - which demonstrates just how precise and
controllable the Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ is.

As the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 has a limited slip diff, the final image is ‘shopped a bit (I edited out the lines that weren’t necessary to produce the “T”).
