I got over 10 years of PCA club racing 930/911’s at the Glen and Pocono The beauty of 911 track cars are not the ultimate speed or power but the ability to do it over and over with duration. They are not high hp monsters.
There isn’t much to interpret in the videos posted above on the ring. They are going all out to the drivers best ability and in traffic. What in the videos shown above has you thinking the GT3RS is holding back?? He isn’t as his rpms are screaming to keep up. On the straits he is giving it all it has to keep on the M2C and the M2C is pulling on him.

With that much "racing experience", you seem to be misreading what is going on. If a car exits a corner ahead of another one, it will distance the car behind it simply because it starts to accelerate sooner. If you watch the video carefully, you'll notice that it is in the corners that the GT3RS loses time, which tells me that the M2C driver is much better than the GT3RS' one. In the long uphill section after Bergwerk where power matters, you can see the RS clearly gaining on the M2c. With equal drivers, there's no M2C that can keep up with a GT3RS.
