That's why you don't look at it as car X is faster than car Y. Because it is not 100% that you will Always hands down beat the other car in EVERY situation. Example....throw a Lambo on a tight AutoX course against a Civic and watch the Civic post a faster time. Some of the laps are WET laps on top of that.
You don't claim that it's a faster car, just that it ran faster on THIS course with THIS driver and leave it at that.

Disagree that the Top Gear track favors power. It is not that long of a track and not even really a track to begin with.
