I am not randomly throwing around numbers (although the number was $400/hr not $450/hr). There is a great thread on the topic here:

There are some detailed breakdowns on consumables for several cars in that thread. Not simple off the top of people's heads breakdowns but very well thought through details after lots of events. The bottom line is the C7 GrandSport doesn't have expensive consumables because it is lightweight. It's simple physics.
I'm a firm believer in the slippery slope. If we keep ignoring the mass of sports cars they will keep climbing. We will all be driving Teslas because, oooh they are so fast. Well they are slow as balls on a road course.
