not to turn this into a pissing match, but these cars are direct competitors so there is no reason to not use the other as the benchmark for the other

oh, I didnt know they did that with every test. Seems kinda silly though. A true test would be from a standing start, and using the start/finish line. They use that location because it cuts the lap time down a good 20 seconds. The real start/finish line is about 3/4 of the way down that long straight away. |
