With the CSL and GT3, I think you are constrained to run whatever the car is shod with. So if you show up with both to the track in the rain, the CSL will be harder to drive than the GT3, by quite a margin.
And if you show up in the dry, rest assured, the situation will be the same.
No matter what, the GT3 is a better track car. Both are compromised street cars.

BMW doesn't offer a "Good weather" button in their CSL where you can summon a sunny day in the midst of an English winter.
In the same lousy, treacherous conditions, the GT3 shone bright, and the CSL didn't. That was my point.

As tidbit, if I saw correctly in the video, the M4CSL is on PS4S while the GT3 is on PSC2. So the CSL had better "wet" tires than the GT3 for this review.
