And you base this claim on what?

Here is the Lotus Exige S and 1M times on another track in UK, Top Gear:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ower_Lap_Times

Shockingly Exige S is slower there too. Seemingly just a 0.1 sec but Lotus time is dry while 1M is faster on a damp track which Top Gear suggests to subtract 2 seconds further...means 2.1 seconds difference at the hand of Stig on a short track like Top Gear too.

If you watch the video in this thread again and pay attention to track times of all cars, you will see a few Lotus times there, Evora, Elise and Exige versions. None are faster than the 1M.

Again, what are you basing this claim on, can you share please?
