Yup, and he even said the 6MT was probably better for this track due to gearing.

It's Llandow Circuit. Please take a look at this: M2 vs M4, M2 faster.... http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/llandow Steve didn't say the M4 pulled harder than the M2 on the back straight, because there is no (back) straight at all as you can see on the map. [/sarcasm] Cheers Robin |

More often than not the longer, straighter track is going to favor the higher horsepower car. Maybe Sutcliffe fucked up on the M3's lap, maybe they were tested on different days, maybe one was in the damp or maybe one car was a DCT and the other a manual. The point is it doesn't really matter, no one said that the M3/M4 will be faster on every track with straights, just that straighter tracks will favor the higher horsepower car in general.

I was being sarcastic, I do that many times with people who think they seem to get it but they don't
M4 comp wins because what he loses in the corners he wins on the straights, come on how many times do I have to explain it.... M3 is too big, way more powerful than M2/1M, less sophisticated chassis setup than M4 comp. Hence slower laptime than M2/M4 Comp. M4 comp is just a tiny bit faster than the smaller more agile M2/1M......because of its superb power advantage it can use on the TWO straights. Hence it wins by a very small margin. Cheers Robin |

Re: M4 v 1M v M2 - They could all win on the day. How they are steered will beat hp / fancy diffs / carbon roofs |
