How is that possible, did they design the track layout in tune with special physical and spiritual properties of Ferrari cars? 😀

well, it does seem iffy, how is a 2005 430 faster then a 2015 911 GT3 RS, 2016 NSX or 2021 M4 Competition Coupe for example?

Do they just use staff drivers like Car and Driver? If so, they might just have had better conditions, or a perhaps a better driver came to work that day when the F430 was tested.

thats a good point, i reckon it may have just been a better driver , or maybe a ferrari test driver was driving that F430 and got a great result, im not sure 🤷

If it seems like I didn’t answer the question properly 11 months ago, yes I do believe they use staff drivers from what I remember with the magazine, EVO Magazine is similar as well with the Anglesey Coastal and Bedford Autodrome tracks, it’s annoying but it has to happen really
