I was looking through lap times of different production cars, and there are some wildly out of place cars doing ring laptimes, some cars are faster than they seem they should be, while others are slower than they should be. Which got me thinking how some cars truly get tested in showroom condition, and others get the “marketing” treatment to produce a laptime a showroom car would never touch, solely to sell more cars. Then I found this article that talks exactly about just that.

    I don’t think it ever mattered how quick or fast you’re car was around a track. If all you care abou tis to have the fastest car around a track then you will need a new car every year or so or just buy an F1 car and even then you will then go for a rocket car. Just buy the car you like th elook of and the one you like to drive. If that’s a Mk2 Fiesta then that is the car for you, if it’s a Ferrari then that’s also cool.
