Damn it......no GT3 in the test.
Interesting that the M4 was slower than the E63 AMG and SL63 AMG, and the M235i was also slower than the CLA45 AMG.
Has BMW lost it's touch?
Looks like a course that rewards high HP cars.

Really interesting results. The RS7 did bad. The C7 and Z/28 did well.
The 918...speechless. wow what a time. To distance the Nismo by over 6 seconds is unreal. Puts the nurturing times into perspective and shows that the 918 has (as stated by the drivers during their outing) something left in the tank after the 6:57min.

The Porsche did great but I still expected better, maybe I expect too much 
The Z28 did very good and the Corvette did a laptime of allmost 4 seconds faster than the Audi V10Plus...big big auwch!!!!!
Even the Fiesta ST did good, considering it has less horsepower than the GTi and lost little more than a second!!!

You cant' stop loving this little pocket rocket from Ford - "Despite it's standing as the cheapest and least powerful car in this years scrum , the 2720 pound Fiesta ST ranks near the front of the pack in terms of sheer fun. The Fiesta ST is more playful than several of the rear-wheel-drive cars we had hand on. The Fiesta ST epitomizes the old adage about driving a slow car fast. It's a challenge and a joy."

That 918 is scary fast.

In every track the results might be different. In other tests 911 Turbo S has been faster than GTR. American cars mostly perform slowly in other magazines' tests but in US mags they perform quite fast!!
