For those readers that don't do track days or racing....
Don't get caught up in the "times" quoted around here. There is no real comparison in lap times from one car to the next - so the DRIVER portion is completely useless.
In racing - there are classes with rules in an effort to keep the cars as similar as possible... THEN the driver comes in to play.
Here (this thread) - we're comparing lap times in completely dissimilar cars. Different weights - different horse power - different tires - different tire sizes... So the lap times are completely meaningless. There is no way of handicapping these times by saying - "yeah but... you got 900hp on street tires and I only have 590hp on X".... because the car's weight isn't baked in the cake etc.
It's all just for fun but is as useless as the cheese balls.
