Around the same circuit, say Silverstone.

The present cars are down on power but would the better aerodynamics and handling overcome that?

If not, which cars were the fastest?

All I wanted to know was a simple answer to a simple question. On the same track would a 2016 (or 2006 2/3/4/5/6) car be the fastest.

Use whatever tyres they used then and now, whatever engine, whatever driver aids.

Thanks
