So as an F1 car is 600Kg and has 1000Kg of downforce in a fast corner, therefore a 1600Kg road car is just as good?
Somebody should explain physics to that bloke.

Needless to say, a substantial amount of PH posters will now....
I've already said that too
Very impressed with Dirk though

Finally got around to watching the vids.
Dirk only did an 8:00 full lap, 30-40 seconds off what the car can do. So it's difficult to directly compare his style with the Japanese drivers style.
Chris's lap was similar to my lap in the 996 GT3-RS. Quite tentative. And it's like Dirk says. Getting to know the ring only takes 50 or so laps (I've now done over 100) but takes longer in a faster car.
