LP640 test in sport auto...

[Ghibli Cup]

Not sure anybody else has mentioned/seen this already, but I was surprised by the disappointing track results of the LP640 in German sport auto magazine. Despite PZero Corsa tires, Nürburgring Nordschleife in the LP640 (driven by Horst von Saurma) was only 3 seconds quicker than in the 'old' model on standard tires (7.47 vs. 7.50) and Hockenheim 0.2 seconds quicker (1.11.8 vs. 1.12.0). The article (which is overall very positive about the car) mentions that a significantly better lap time would be possible if the new set-up was not much 'safer'/understeer-oriented than the old model. Weather conditions were fine (air 18C, track 22C)...

It's all a little academic when pootling between surrey and the city don't you think
