Good grief. When something doesn't go a certain way there HAS to be some kind of conspiracy doesn't there?

The simple answer is all three cars are very close. There's less than half a second between them. On this occasion the P1 was quickest. On a different circuit on another day the 918 might be quickest. On another day the LaFerrari.

All three cars are owned by one person. Paul Bailey.

He must be one of the luckiest men in the world to own 3 of the greatest sports cars of the modern era.

McLaren MP4/4 (1988) 6-Spd manual

 

[Thiago]

Very interesting performance data of the MP4/4. Incredible numbers !!!

Curiosity: what are the acceleration figures of a Formula 1 today?

Autocar ?

Those 1/4mile times seem a bit slow but the exit speeds are not that far off what we seen in international tests. Quite surprised LaFerrari is slowest when its got the most power and lightest mass.

 

[Mafalda]

incredebly bad starts, expecially LaFe
LaFe seems a bit faster from 201m to 402m
cannot wait about the latest test

 

[WBarnes]

All cars must have been struggling for traction.

Strange that the LaFe does the fastest 2nd eighth but has the slowest eighth and quarter trap speed.

looks like there is another car worth adding to the discussion:

The Dodge Viper ACR Is Badass Enough To Hold 13 Track Records

To prove just how fast the ACR is, Dodge decided to have a crack at some lap records at US tracks, with incredible results

Dodge Viper ACR goes "HAM" on 14 tracks, "spanks" Porsche 918 - FastestLaps.com

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) have released a series of onboard videos with 2016 Dodge Viper ACR setting a hot lap ...

Yes and no.

looks like there is another car worth adding to the discussion:

But when your tires have a treadwear rating of '20', is there functionally any difference between them and a soft option cut slick?

 

[WBarnes]

Interesting tidbit on ACR tires.

In testing, the tyres alone helped shave 1.5 seconds more off lap times than off-road only race tires!

 

[Mafalda]

I remember when a lots of member here wrote how "Ferrari wins thanks the optimized Pilot Super Sport "

 

[Monster]

Guys....lets not turn this into yet another tire debate.

 

[Mafalda]

ok , mea culpa

 

[Rolf]

Yes we don't want another Emu 1000 pages argument over which tyre made what car 0.1sec faster around a track!

 

[WBarnes]

One final post on the Viper issue. Interestingly the Viper TA did a lap with slicks with same driver and ran 1:30.78.
