    Yeah, I'm certain that regardless of whether Anthony beat the driver's lap time he had to agree in advance to allow VolksWagon to manipulate the results to demonstrate how amazingly fast/efficient their car is. Of course they wouldn't make a commercial and allow him to win - that would defeat the purpose of their advertisement. From VolksWagon's perspective, Anthony was only there to demonstrate some perceived comparison of speed, and it may be the case the entire thing was only simulated. My guess is they just had him do a OH solve while hauling ass in the car, and they used that footage to their advantage. However, in the case that this was in fact a legit lap/cube solve race, I'm curious to know if Anthony actually did finish his solve before the lap ended. I'd also like to know if he's even allowed to discuss it, or if he had to sign some sort of NDA. Hmmmm

    I love the way the commercial totally captures Anthony's true personality. "Can we go again?"

    Which is in stark contrast to the personality he portrays at the very beginning of the video.

    Underlying message that the VolksWagon brings out a man's fun side. Or something like that.

    Go Anthony!

    No, They can cut the commercial and have him start late... plus, how long is a "lap"
