im surprised the 1m is faster on the straights, thought the m3 might have the advantage

The problem with the rating system is that it doesn't appear to be properly weighted. For example, if two cars achieve a time of 8:04 and 8:05 respectively, then relatively speaking they are much closer in performance than another two cars which achieve 1:00 and 1:01. Both times may only be 1s apart, but expressed as a percentage, we have a 0.2% difference in the first example but 1% in the second, which explains why Nurburgring lap times seem to skew the results in a two car comparison.

@Derb
No, i dont take serious this stuff :D
In here this pointslist is "amazing". Where i can see that pointslist?
Fastestlaps can forget pointslist in here, and it will be better system in here, if the car will win both categorys, and dont giving points to cars.
For example.
Track Performance: If BMW 1 M Coupe is faster on track, then it will faster on track, and win M3.
Staight line speed: If BMW M3 is faster on straigt line speed, then M3 win.
And if the car wins both categorys, then the car is noticeably faster then other.
Please Fastestlaps, forget the pointslist!

@Georg
How can you explain this?
Audi RS5 is faster than BMW M3 E92 is. And BMW M3 E92 is faster than 1 M Coupe is. And 1 M Coupe is faster than Audi RS5 is. WTF?

Why Audi RS5 topspeed is +280km/h? So Audi RS6 topspeed is also 280km/h.

the way the point system works here... the M3 has two tracks with a huge lead over the 1M ...all other tracks are extremly closed match which adds next to no points even f won more tracks overall...
the 10s at the northloop and the 6s at the wet handling test which won the M3 made the different
The point system here is based on time different not numbers of track won...the bigger the different the more points the faster car gets...
