Loved the drift the Cayenne did on its out lap. Enjoy...

Surprised the pepper was only 1 sec/ lap faster given in the 0-100-0 test it was catching up once moving, had better brakes and weighed 200 lbs less - perfect track combo. If it was a shorter track, sure, but at a distance that requires 1:50 a lap seems odd. Especially considering the nannies could not be turned off on the Merc. Perhaps the pro rally guy driving the pepper was allowing more wheel spin and losing time.

Not really. The lap time itself was hardly the real point. Especially when these guys are timing it with a phone anyway.
Both drivers are very skilled but 1 second may or may not be a huge difference on that track. (the host Tiff Nedell is a former British Touring race car driver and is more than skilled enough for the comparison. Which, if you don't know that he seems like "just some host" on the show)
Also seemed much wetter for the Porsche.
Having a different driver didn't cause the "nanny state" actions of the AMG's safety features for instance.

They may have tried that drift 10 times before getting the take they wanted for the production.

Just pointing out that the WHOLE comparison wasn't *really* about which one is quicker. If they were out to prove just that fact they would have used the same driver, same tires, an official timing device other than a cell phone, etc.
The "lap time" was just a fun way to show the difference on how both vehicles behaved on the track. The time itself isn't very relative.
A great driver can beat a crappy driver even in a crappy car. We all know that. Even two great drivers exchange 1-2 spots all the time in identical cars.
