It would explain, why a M4CSL with any effort you put into would hardly reach a pure sportscar (like 992 GT3) ... but why doesn't pay all the effort put into the CSL over the touring (weight, tires, power, aero) out more? Since several informed people are asking this (see your posted video) I think this is a valid question! Will be interessted, whch time Christian Gebhardt does in the M4CSL supertest.
according to youtuber Mischa Charoudin the M3 Touring was driven at the limit and the M4CSL was not at the limit.
The goal for the CSL was to be the fastest production BMW. There is really no benefit beyond that. It was never going to be close to the GT3 despite the rumors. The touring goal was the M3, to prove it deserves the badge. I'm fully expecting better results from the CSL, akin to how the M5CS surprised. That's the game nowadays, to provoke the influencers by setting a calculated expectation and have them blow it up.
