Without knowing these variables you can't really make an accurate comparison. If Plato had got into an F80 Comp with DSC off, 275/285 PSC2 and run a lap we would know what the real delta is. Random lap times on random tracks with no real supporting data are directional at best. That GT3 lap was driven by Steve Sutcliffe who is a good pilot, be he's not at Plato's level.

The F8x is already a very fast car, throw some proper suspension on it and it isn't pointing many cars by. I have seen no evidence thus far to suggest the g8x comp is on another level to an F8x comp when the controls are equal. I'm totally open to be proven wrong though, and as people put camber plates and sticky tires on we will find out!
Vairano Circuit: G82 Competition with PS4S 1.14.18 / F82 GTS with SC2 1.13.87, driver Davide Fugazza
Sachsenring: G82 Competition 1.32.76 / F82 GTS 1.33.17, unknown tires and driver but in the worst case they've both SC2.
