At the age of 7 year, the 750s doesn’t look sufficiently new.

Neither does the 911.

How is the MC20 Cielo so slow?

Shorter final drive favours in-gear times (80-120 km/h in 6th gear 3,7 vs 4,7 s, in 7th gear 6,7 vs 8,8 s) and not the acceleration.

If you look at the sportscars ranking with the 992 GT3RS in 1st place, you see that brutal/massiv aero is king. And also interesting that McL keeps the "tiny" 245 front tires! Will be interesting to see, what a McL can/will do with GT3RS like aero and more rubber at the front.

That just makes me think that Senna underperformed. There shouldn't be a universe where it's slower than a GT3 RS.

Yes, but if you look sport auto laptimes in Hockenheim. Particularly the laptime of Senna, there is story quite different...

Totally different tracks. HHR is a flat circuit with very fast "straights" (yes, the Parabolica is basically a straight), while Sachsenring is the mini-Nordschleife. Ondulating, bumpy with tight turns. And those turns were the reason while the Senna (with its relatively narrow front tyres) was not as quick as it could be.

Naumann is very quick, as quick as Gebhart with a much, MUCH more relaxed and neutral driving style.

Not to mention that they were teammates at the Nürburgring 24h race a few years back - with Jethro Bovingdon and Jörg Beigmeister as well in the team.

I agree with your characterization of the track differences. I wouldn't have brought up Hockenheimring into the discussion myself. But when I watch the Sachsenring onboard, he rather looks to be battling with oversteer at times. Of course, it could be a matter of bad suspension setup or tire pressure resulting in underperformance, instead of driver abilities alone.

 

[tristatez28lt1]

Inward about to say Naumann is very quick. One of the fastest German auto journal.

Here's my quick comparison datapanel with all the important data.

Something extremely important to note : (from a raw translation from google, some words could be inaccurate.)

Autobild was initially intending to fit in the 750S on the P Zero Corsa tyres for drifting pics. They ended up making a hotlap with this compound, and the car surprisingly felt less understeery, but most importantly got a lap time of 1.28.23 min, so approximately half a second slower than the lap time achieved on Trofeo R tyres. This also means that on the same tyre as the 720S, the 750S managed to be 1.2 seconds quicker than the latter (which did 1.29.46min) ! From what I've read, we don't have any further details as to why the lap on Trofeos was "only" 0.5s faster than on Corsas.

 

[DeDe]

Also the reason why it's slower to 300 kph than the 720S (and much slower than the 296) is the increased aero/downforce combo. They say the Cw in up by 0.03 compared to the 720S.

The Corsa’s seem to work very well on this car. Also the 720s was hardly any faster on tyres that was supposed to be quicker tha Corsa.

Gebhardt did in sport auto supertest on Corsa tyres 7:08 Nurburgring laptime with 720S.

Considering it's mostly COVID that caused the Senna's supertest and the 765's to be cancelled, it's very likely that we'll see a supertest of this car around either Hockenheim or the Ring. Best case scenario would be a test on both tracks like the 720S.
