But the bigger question is what tires were on RS and what were on Pista. If RS on MPSC2 R and Pista on MPSC2 (non-R), it's an expected outcome. Otherwise, it's a wow.

Actually the reverse. The smaller tighter trackes favoror the 3RS and times within the same second like at Angelsey. Even at the Ring, the longest and fastest of all time difference per mile was less than 2 seconds.

Thanks for posting! Nice improvement over the standard GTB, although I'm sure a decent amount of that is down to the tires.

- Do they provide some detail to give the reader comfort this isn't a Ferrari press car?
- Can anyone confirm whether there were any abnormalities during the laps of the first 5-6 cars (i.e. wet on a particular part of the circuit, unusually hot or cold)?
