The lap time differences that you’re all talking about make perfect sense. There’s a huge difference in power and downforce between these cars, and it will payoff differently depending on the circuit.

Sometimes I scratch my head around the Sport Auto lap times and this is one is a good example. A full second and a half quicker than a 600LT, and then proceeds to be 8 SECONDS slower at the Ring (7.16 vs 7.08) ??

there has been a lot of discussion that sport auto is biased towards german cars for hockenheim lap times, i havent really given my opinion on that, but you can make up your mind on that...

Yeah no surprise about that, it's almost obvious there is some sort of bias. You can check the Autobild laps at Sachsenring too, by the way. GT2 RS on regular Cup 2s somehow faster than the Performante and 720S by a second and a half when the GT2 RS is usually the slower car without its R compound

autobild sports cars and their sachsenring laptimes is the worst combination i can possibly think off
jeremyclarkson1 1y ago @Nyastomny
i agree but it just annoys me, like the 992 GT3 RS being quicker then the Mclaren Senna and being 3 seconds quicker then a 750S, like this is just not believable anymore
