I luv the Roundel but come on, please, a 4 door sedan vs purpose built sports car is not a real comparison.

Going a bit off topic..
I’m having a hard time understanding your first point. These professionals are the ones who adapt fast to rapidly changing environment and are able to produce stable lap time after a warm up lap. This does not change driving production cars.
The only “fast” Porsches on track are GT2/GT3s and if you’ve ever seriously tracked them, you would know that these GT3 drivers typically have practice experience with BMW first because it is much more forgiving & easier to extract lap time on the go with a bimmer.
It is not easy to drive a rear mounted engine car that loses front grip going 200kph due to weight distribution.
From 997 and on, they seem to have brought it to around 3:7 to 3.5:6.5. Still heavy rear biased.
