For the size weight and power of that thing it does handle pretty well
it overtook a 911 ffs

Not saying its slow.

the cosworth was fine, knowing that allthough it was circulating at a slower pace, it is still far cooler

nothing else really seems to be going for it....
392bhp isnt really superpower.... if you catch my drift.
a 400bhp volvo tank wouldnt fly past those cars/bikes if they were flat out.
And.... another point.... isnt 400bhp a bit 'ordinary' from a 2.5 or whatever it is turbo?

Have you ever driven round that track
I certainley haven't and I don't think your qualified to make a judgement till you have done a lap yourself with all that traffic etc. can't be easy

no its not, the guy is inredibly brave, stupid or knows the track very well. regardless of that, it still does not handle well.
