This achievement in combing the minimal and maximal has pushed the Feel's Civic Type R to the fastest lap time of one minute flat in the naturally aspirated FF class on the famed Tsukuba circuit, the standard against which all things tuning are held. It's a lesson that not only focuses on balance, but also provides an answer to deal with the choice between large-scale creations and the heightening of experiences.
In matters of style and design, power and aerodynamics, there will always be a split between minimalism and maximalism; a fight between simplicity and excess. But with enough experience and knowledge, a combination of both can be found. With Feel's Civic blazing a path to this hallowed aesthetic nirvana, it's undoubtedly a shape of things to come, and hopefully, the end of two fighting extremes.
