Remember, lightened GT86 (1120kg, about 220lbs lighter) with slicks and 300+ hp, track suspension, vs. 1339kg McLaren on street tires. The McLaren has a better hp/weight ratio, but not by a lot (compared to that turbo GT86), and this wasn't a drag race, this was a circuit race. Getting good times at the circuit isn't just about hp, that's only a small part of the equation. A FR-S/BRZ in street trim, on street legal tyres, would get ripped a new one around that circuit by the Fensport car, even if they had 400/500/600+ hp.
