Another thing to consider is the multiple 'routes' around the Nurburgring. It seems there are about 3 or 4 different lengths for a 'lap', so its hard to tell which is which sometimes... Its really a shame that the track was wet and full of traffic, I'd really like to see what time the Macca could wring out, or even what speed it could hit on the back straight

According to the graphic the Mclaren hit 200 mph (322ks) where the Porsche was hit 294 Ks (Doettinger Hoehe). Pretty big difference.

I agree with Vansquish. As they emphasized in the article, the McLaren is set-up for road use and its not overly wide or stiffly sprung, which does mean it won't have the out-right cornering speeds of cars like the CGT with super-stiff suspension.

Note they tested the down on power F1 here with 580bhp instead of 627. They might have got more speed with the extra hp. Also the F1-LM would go some way toward closing the gap in downforce. But all this talk is just arm chair musing - someone needs to hit the track before we really find out .
