@Nick Harry: i completely agree, the acceleration numbers do not really support the "noticeably faster"-label, so this one needs a closer look by fastestlaps.

Oh, PLEASE, what is going on? The RS Trophy has just smashed the Nurburgring lap record. You have listed no other track times, and the only in line stats show the Renault is the fastest. Please amend. If you compare the base RS III it is "noticeably faster" so this page must be wrong!!
