Motor Trend: Best Driver's Car

[drifter1]

But I would say that lately sport auto and auto bild sportscars are quite objective in comparison tests.

Whether they allow a Cup 2 R-shod Pista to be faster than the GT3 or 2S in Christian Gebhardt's hands at the 'Ring will prove their objectivity beyond contestation.

Seems the lap times are out, Senna fastest (of course) with 1:27,62 around Laguna!

World's greatest drag race 9 is out as well. For a fee.

Do you have info which tyres was used ?

They said most cars had street tires. They mentioned the Gt350 had Cup2 and I guess the Senna had Trofeo R.


I'm disappointed with this years BDC.
Lack of info, short videos (6 episodes of 6min duels(like head to head), drag race 9min and a Grand Prix race 14min(all jornalists picked a car and they raced for a couple laps, kinda pointless but fun for them I guess)) and no BDC long video to choose the best drivers car.

So they didnt choose the best drivers car...unless theres a video coming soon?

So no normal test data this time? Like acceleration (besides 1/4 and 1/2), braking, G, weight?

These magazines are running on empty they no longer have the resources to do full tests. People have easy access to information that they don’t need to buy or subscribe to them anymore. I expect to see more and more rags do less comprehensive tests.

 

[TopspeedPT]

Theres a new video today where they picked the best driver's car.

Surprise, surprise...992 won

Summary: GT350 it's a very good car(Mustang GT PP2 was 12th last year) but Porsche did it again. The 911 It's perfect in every way.
They didn't mention other cars places.

Who win the Grand Prix?

Who win the Grand Prix?

Randy in the 992. Jethro was 2nd in the 600LT.

 

[bmwz4coupe]

So at the end they didnt do "race" with all cars on the track a la japanese style around Tsukuba (dont remember the name of the magazine) like it was anounced. What a pity, but I really didnt expect them to be so raw...

Best Motoring?

It was more for fun. There was a huge driver skill gap, Randy and Jethro being the pros.

 

[Matski]

I love watching old best motoring videos

 

[Joelpeyeye]

if it had been a real race he would have won the 600LT, the Porsche would have no chance
