Pretty good. I think it shows how much Driver skill can play a role in racing. Take the guy in the MR for example!
Feet are heaps harder on the brake pedal than the other drivers, he is braking when the other drivers aren't.

The guy in the MR is a racing legend and considered one of the best, if not the best ... did they state whether all 4 cars were using the same brand of tyre? With someone with his skill and experience behind the wheel he seemed to be braking early because the car looked too unstable around corners so he had to slow it down - possibly due to a poor choice of tyre?

all 4 are JGTC (or ex JGTC in Keiichi Tsuchiya's case - the red MR if you hadnt worked it out) drivers (Japans premier touring car series, much like the European FIA GT cars) so the skill diffrence would be very small, i doubt enough to make a diffrence.

Best motoring use the OEM tyres, so what every the car is fitted with that what the would be using, it did look a little skatey, but remember the MR is designed with motorsport in mind, so its stiffer etc.

No real supprise that the Spec C won, thoes things are weapons!

All cars were factory spec, evos using avans and stis using something else...

If the MR has a better engine, lighter and more gears the only reason it would lose to a gsr is driver.

No surprise with the lighter, torquer and more powerful Spec C winning

and grid position

also the start them reverse of fastest lap times, so the MR would have been faster..

The MR started in first and slowly went backwards.

 

[Velocity Racing]

umm no the MR started second last, just infront of the Spec c (its the Red car )

the spec C got past, not great supprise.. thats all tho
