Why is it slower than ACR?

Only 2 seconds slower than the Senna, with inferior tires that account for at least a second.

On the other hand, the Senna really did underperformed. It was quite a handful in and out of corners, and was barely faster than the gt2rs

Great lap, Wasnt sure if it was gonna beat the P1, I know its a few years older, But people prolly shaking there heads for Mc charging almost 2million for the P1 yet you can get a 720 for 300k with the same or better performance....

On another note, I would like to see more affirdable cars i these competitions, I mean can they really be drivers cars if only the 1% can afford them?..
