Wet conditions for that comparo. Should have favored the AWD car, but its weight was the handicap.

I agree the V spec will be a better comparison as it will be 300 lbs lighter and have a rated engine of 520bhp. The GTR was compared against a TT and won. You have to give the GTR credit. It can seat four, weighs 1700kilos, is so much cheaper and is pretty fast in a track. But this is not a full time track car - it is a brilliant road car.

As most of you agree, Chris Harris is great. Fantastic driver and intelligent inputs. A notch above J. Clarkson. I have a lot of respect since he really joins endurance races. Here's another vid w/c he made.
